We have a 4 month old English Pointer pup in for training. Here he is learning to stand his birds. We took this photo of him today while we were out working some bobwhites from one of our recall pens. He is starting to learn he can’t catch them so she will stand and hold point until we get close. Today he even let me flush a couple for him. Allowing young puppies like him to hunt these quail builds there hunt drive and confidence.
Molly has found a great new home with Chuck H in Canada. Chuck has been very happy with Molly in the home and in the field. She has a great nose with lots of style. She is getting along well with the other dogs. Chuck will hunt her extensively this coming fall. It’s always rewarding when you can place a dog in a great home.

Macy is a 16 week old German Shorthaired Pointer that we have in our kennel for our 2 week puppy program. Yesterday she got all excited about birds and slammed on point. She is going to be a fun dog watch develop. We believe in starting them out right. Those first 6 months are so crucial in building a dogs confidence. We will continue to help Maggie discover all the great things about birds over the next ten days.
WANTED TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT WITH CHIEF. HE IS SETTLING IN AND DOING GREAT. LEARNS FAST AND IS A GREAT FIT FOR OUR FAMILY BUT ALSO WITH “DAN”, OUR OTHER BRITT. THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME SIZE AND HAVE REALLY BONDED.
This is a photo of my self on the left and my younger brother Justin on the right. I was looking through some pics of when we first started hunting with and training German Shorthair Pointers. This photo was taken when I was 15 years old. That was over 14 years ago. These were the first two dogs I had ever trained or owned. We had a great day at the pheasant preserve. The dogs did well and we had a fun time with my brothers and father. Some of the best memories I have are with my family in the field. It’s fun to look back and remember the good old days. It helps give you a perspective on where you started.
We decided to add a few of the above ground kennels to the mix in our kennel. Sometimes we have a dog that just climbs out of every kennel we have. Or we have a dog that needs some special attention and we need to keep her close to the house. Whelping bitches utilize this type of kennel often. We prefer the Scott’s self build kit.
Building the floor
Adding the legs
Add the roof and the puppy
Then the sides. Make sure to read the instructions
Finished
All in all we used treated wood for the structure of the kennel. The kit includes the grated floor, metal roof, sides and all hardware to assemble. With the detailed instructions the kit had a great step by step system to follow. Scott’s has put in the time to make it as simple as possible. The door included with the kit is a simple and effective design that no escape artist can open. We are excited to see how well it functions on a daily basis.
I can’t tell you how pleased I am with “Odie”. He is everything you said. I’ve had the opportunity to take him hunting twice and he impressed everyone. The first time he had only been here for four days and we killed ten of the eleven quail put out for us. He was FANTASTIC. I can’t tell you how much fun I had. I was a little worried about purchasing a dog in Utah, when I live in Virginia – sight unseen; but you are a man of your word – he’s a wonderful dog and companion. I’ve enjoyed working with you and will try to send business your way
Emma has been breed to Jay! It looks like this breeding took and so we will be expecting puppies the first part of April. Emma is one of those dogs that does it all. She points with intensity and style, retrieves to hand, and loves to run. Emma has been a breeze to train in the field and around the home. She is great with my kids and loves to play fetch. She even comes up with a shed horn every once in while. Emma is a bird fining machine she has a great nose and a ability to find birds no matter the conditions.
