John, owner of Lookin' Up Outfitters, has been working with hounds since 1994. John grew up in Westcliffe, CO and so did his wife, Brianna. They still reside in Custer County where they are raising their family. 


John spends a lot of time making sure the hounds are the best they can be. Hunting with dogs is his passion as you can see by the number of successful hunters he takes yearly. All of our dogs are like family and are very well taken care of. 


During the "off season", John guides for Tri-State Outfitters, hunting elk, deer, and antelope, and also some bear and lions for them.
