“Quality over quantity”
SAMMY LIVINGSTON - Texas
Sammy was born and raised in the heart of American Quail country in the small town of Olney, Texas. With his father and grandfather owning and training gundogs while Sammy was growing up, it is easy to say he came by his love of gundogs honestly. For eight years, Sammy was blessed and honored to train for a wonderful family and private plantation in South Central Florida where he gained priceless knowledge and experience. In 2015, with nearly two decades of prior gundog experience, Livingston Gundogs was founded. His passion and skill will have you well on your way to your next gundog.
MICHAEL DELOACH - Georgia
Michael was born and raised in south Georgia, amidst southern plantations, Georgia pines, bird dogs, and Bobwhite quail. While pursuing his Biology degree from Georgia Southern University in his home town of Statesboro, Georgia, he guided for a local quail plantation and worked at a veterinary hospital. After graduation, Michael began working with Sammy on a private quail plantation in south Florida, gaining invaluable dog training experience. It was there that Michael was introduced to the world of British Labradors and positive reinforcement training, and a new love for the Labrador retriever was born. After moving back to Georgia, Michael continued his friendship with Sammy and joined Livingston Gundogs for the 2017 training season in North Dakota. It was there that the groundwork for expanding LG into the southeast was laid. A later position on another private estate in south Florida allowed Michael to work alongside champion Labrador and Cocker trainer, Nick Gregory, of the United Kingdom. These experiences led to the establishment of Livingston Gundogs Atlantic, and in 2019 he began construction on what is now one of the premier breeding and training facilities in the nation.
