Instructor, Lynn Erickson, has been involved with the care and training of animals all of her life. Lynn grew up on a farm in central Minnesota, hunting ruffed grouse without the benefit of a hunting dog. She has been involved with hunting dogs, their training, testing and breeding for the past 21 years. She owns and operates Herbst Briese Kennels, a full service kennel, offering training,
boarding and grooming. She is a certified tattoo artist with the National Dog Registry. " I fell in love with pointing dogs long before I became a NAVHDA member or a NAVHDA judge. I have hunted behind and trained all sorts of dogs, but fell in love with my German Shorthairs. I personally own ten. I have hunted upland game and waterfowl for the past 35 years, sometimes without a dog or with someone else’s dog. I came to realize that hunting with a dog was by far, more enjoyable and productive. I have been involved in NAVHDA for the past 19 years and a NAVHDA judge for the past eleven years, just recently receiving a promotion to Senior Judge. Being a NAVHDA judge affords me the opportunity to walk behind a lot of different dogs, and allows me to see, first hand, many dogs. I have successfully trained my own dogs in the NAVHDA testing program through all levels of testing, including placing the title of Versatile Champion on my own Angel. During the past three years, I started testing my dogs in the AKC Hunt Tests." Every fall will find Lynn afield with her dogs, in Minnesota and North Dakota, in pursuit of ringneck pheasant, ruffed grouse, sharptails and ducks.
