John Henninger:
 "I started training as an Amateur in 1982 in Roseburg, Oregon. After putting three dogs through the Hunt Test getting their Master Titles, I was completely in love with the dogs and the sport. Feeling that I had a knack with the dogs, I wanted to move to the Field Trials to see were I stood as a dog trainer.
"I met T.J. LindBloom who also lived in Roseburg, Oregon, (T.J. LindBloom, winner of the National in 1979). T.J. helped me to start training for the Field Trials."
Henninger, being so adamant, turned his hobby into full-time training. Leasing a kennel in 1993 started his next steps to becoming Tru-Line Retrievers.
"The hardest part of being on the road constantly is really missing my kids and not being able to see them every day. I am very proud of my two kids, Chad and Kyla."

"I started working at Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. in Sandy, Oregon, training seeing eye dogs. While in Sandy, Oregon, I also got involved in running Field Trials with Brittanys. Growing up with Brittanys and hunting with my father was a big highlight for me. When running trials with Brittanys, it's all from horseback. Having been in horses my whole life, this was definitely a thrill!
"In 2000, I left Guide Dogs to start training Labradors. I worked for several pro trainers, training gun dogs, running Hunt Tests, and Field Trials.
"So, now becoming a part of Tru-Line Retrievers, I am very excited for the future of our business and looking forward to many wonderful years.
