My husband and I had the pleasure of knowing and training with Warren Grimsby for 20 plus years, standing in open fields of all kinds of weather dog training and shooting birds and just laughing at Warren's sense of humor. Then at the dinner table discussing it all again. Connie and I would chat on the phone (sometimes over an hour) and laugh about it all. Warren helped whoever wanted to learn the skill and advance. He was known to have the most competitive students at the hunt tests, and we were. Warren had the ability to make the unsucessful, sucessful! For years clients went to Warren and Connie's home in Oroville, to dog training classes. The era of those days will never be forgotten.
