Best Gun Dogs is a full-time gun dog training and breeding facility with our main focus on the German Shorthair Breed. We pride ourselves in breeding upland hunting dogs who excel in the field and also make great companions at home. Our breeding program has been built on decades of research and by traveling the United States from coast to coast, hand picking dogs that would continually produce true to form. We focus on breeding shorthairs who are focused, intelligent, willing to please, easy to train at home or in the field, naturally point and retrieve, and are great companions. Our dogs can sit and watch the game by the fire on Friday evening and put game in the bag Saturday morning. They are bred to be a loving companion to all in the family including children.

We have a very high standard for our dogs to live up to. With each litter we look to improve the breed and help individuals find their next hunting companion. We continually compare our breeding to others across the country as we have the opportunity to train many dogs each year.

We strive to provide you the best fit for you and your family. If you are looking for a Field test dog, a hunting companion dog, a dog who can keep up with you on your long runs, or one who can make a great family pet, we will take the time to help you find the right dog for your living situation.

This is our passion, this is our life, this is our family. Our dogs are part of our family and very much who we are. We take pride in knowing that we truly have the BEST GUN DOGS. Give us a call to discuss what your needs are what dog would make a great addition to your family.

About Me

Growing up in St. George Utah I spent a lot of time in the hills hunting, especially quail hunting. The one thing I found out real quick was that Gamble's quail are fast runners and they love to hang out in cactus and thick tamarack bushes. Finally one day I talked my uncle Dale Osborn into bringing his GSP (Mugs) down to St. George to help us hunt some quail. Long story short we hunted hard all day and Mugs was into several coveys helping us find birds that we knocked down in the thick stuff, making sure we didn't loose any birds, and most of all helping us find birds! After that day I was hooked. I had to have a pointing dog. My first dog, Ladie, was a sweet little GSP that taught me a lot about responsibility. I was only 15 years old at the time and still can remember sleeping with her on the floor in our laundry room so she wouldn't cry all night and keep everybody in the house awake. It wasn't even a year later that I got my second Shorthair, Fritz, at the time he was a year old and his previous owners said that he was to rowdy and they needed to find him a home. At the time I was training dogs very heavily with the German Shorthair Pointing Dog Club of Southern Utah and one of my mentors (Robert Wells) at the time picked up Fritz and told me he thought he would be a nice dog. Robert was the owner of the famous Diamond Valley Tobe,y the Sire to this dog Fritz. Well Fritz and I hit it off and in few months we had him whoa broke, steady to flush, and working birds nicely. At that time I started to compete in AKC hunt tests and in just a couple of years was able to put a Senior Hunt Title on Fritz. I wouldn't have been able to get this title without the help from many people involved in the SUPDC, especially two people. Robert Wells and Kent Forbush. These guys took me under there wing and taught me everything I needed to know; like how to start a young dog on birds, obedience training, and how to compete in AKC Hunt Tests. Since then I have worked with various dogs and various breeds. I truly believe each dog has it's' own personality and needs to be trained accordingly. Sure the behaviors of dogs are a lot alike but the way you apply those training techniques can be different. Training gun dogs has become one of my biggest passions. I look forward to working with you and sharing my love for bird dogs.

Since that time Jared has become a skilled bird dog trainer and has started his kennels and training program in Beaver, Utah. Jared is a big fan of the versatile pointing breeds and especially the german shorthairs. Jared has made it part of his life passion to have the best German Shorthairs in the world.

I live in one of the most beautiful places in Utah. Nestled in the valley below these beautiful mountains is where I live. It's a small town population 3,000. This is where I have my bobwhite recall pens set up as you can see the grass is green and the wet spring has put a lot of water in our lakes and streams. I feel very blessed to live in a spot that allows me to work my dogs almost all year around except for when the snow and cold get really bad. I'm close to family, friends, and the hills. The mountains you see in the background have some of the best Elk hunting in state. We also chase a few Bear and Mountain lion on the off season. Often you will find us in the hills working bird dogs or helping a friend on a hunt!
