Trainers


Gary and Mendy Peyton have been working with versatile hunting dogs for over 40 years. In the late 1980's Gary joined the VDD/GNA. That was when he "officially" started training Drahthaars.  Soon after joining, he began judging tests and other events for the organization.

Mendy came about the training scene in 2013 and hasn't looked back since. She's got a passion for dogs that is unsurpassed.  When she and Gary got Yana in 2014, she found the new love of her life. You can ask anyone who knows her that Yana is "her baby".

We have an extreme love for the dogs and the sport of hunting. As avid hunters we know how to read the dogs and know what goal to work toward to get to the level of expectation: Finish Dog!
