Mike Madsen

I grew up in small town America (Savage MN) on the Minnesota River Bottoms, hunting and trapping and following dogs. Coonhounds to Labradors, I just loved to watch, raise and train working dogs.

I met my wife just out of High School where we quickly understood we both had a love for dogs and sports. Married 41 years together we raised two daughters and a lot of pups!

Ironically enough my oldest Annie grew to love hunting, and my youngest Marnie was the star BB and VB player, like her mom. Since buying my first gun dog (yellow Lab) at the age of 16, and now close to retirement I’ve owned, raised and trained what I like to say are some of the more elite bred animals money and love can buy. I met Dave at Pheasant Phun through friends as well as a dog sale. Our relationship has turned into a great friendship and somewhat of what I like to call a partnership. Now guiding at this fantastic family run facilty with a passion to meet new people, make memories and let my dogs do the talking!

A great place to do business, close that big deal, or just say thank you!
