My name is Marcus Hampton, and I was born and raised in Buffalo N.Y. Through my years growing up I played football and boxed and of course always had a passion for dogs. I started Schutzhund in the year 2000 when I met my mentor and good friend Owen Tober at the Schutzhund club of Buffalo where I was a member and did helper work but now have my own working dog group.

 

When I am not busy doing helper work and training with my own Schutzhund group, I am spending time training my own dogs.

 

I am a National level helper. Since 2000 I have done many club trials and many big events doing Sch and IPO I, IPO II and IPO III dogs as well as a police DPO trial and helper seminars.
