Kurt Litke has been teaching fifth grade
in an elementary school since 1992. He
grew up with a love for hunting and
dogs both retrievers and hounds.
In 2001 Kurt built a home on the
Platte River in central Minnesota.

During the summer he began training
his own dogs along with other dogs.
Besides a passion for bird hunting,
Kurt also guides at LeBlanc's Rice
Creek Hunting preserve. This assures
you that a pup bought from Platte River
Kennels is out of dogs that have been
hunted and have proven themselves
in the field.
