Dave Rorem started training gundogs in the 1970's and saw his first
field trial in 1977. He won his first derby
in 1979 and made his first Field Champion in 1984. Since that time, he
has trained and handled 7 National Champions in Canada, made over 70
Field Champions and had over 50 National Finalists in Canada and the
U.S.
Dave credits much of his success to other trainers that he has spent
time with and learned from. In his early years, he received help from
Cy Sifers, Phil and Tom Berger, Roger Reopelle and D.L. Walters. Dave
spent 11 years working with his mentor, Rex Carr, and credits him for
the trainer and handler he is today.
