USA Helper Marcus Hampton
My name is Marcus Hampton and I was born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y. Through my years growing up I played football and boxing and of course always had a passion for dogs. I started Schutzhund in the year 2000 when I met my mentor Owen Tober at the Schutzhund Club of Buffalo; which I am currently an active member and the club helper. While I am not busy doing helper work and training other peoples dogs I am spending time training my own young dog, Tuko.
I have worked several club trials doing Sch I, II and IPO III dogs as well as a police DPO trial. I also worked the 2009 Mideastern Regionals as the helper for Sch II and back half Sch III dogs. I have also attended to many training seminars and helper seminars.
I would like to take the time out to thank the people that supported me through the years such as my mentor and friend Owen Tober and the Schutzhund Club of Buffalo. Also, thank you to Mark Scarberry for all his support and help. Most of all I'd like to thank Schutzhund USA and the Helper Committee for giving me the opportunity to be one of the selected helpers in the 2010 Working Dog Championships. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of this event.
Marcus was selected as the back-half helper at the 2009 USA Nationals.
