Croc man hard at it! He retrieved 3 teal and a goose on his maiden voyage hunting adventure! He's got a bright future of waterfowl hunting ahead of him! Stella was bummed out that she only got 1 goose and a teal retrieve today!
Safe to say, Croc is a big fan of the big birds!
We had a great year of hunt test and it's now come to an end for the year! We look forward to next year already get ahold of us to get on our books for next season!

Who's next to give us some sweet babies?
Typsy and Mudi!
This will be an all black litter. This will be Mudi's first litter and we are excited to see his first babies! They should be hitting the ground September 22nd and according to the ultrasound, we are expecting quite a few.
We have some spots open, send us a message. We'd love to share all the details with you. π€
We will be adding to our training program for 2025 and will be accepting dogs for higher level training (HRC Seasoned level AKC senior level hunt test) this will be a big addition to the training program! Sign up with us now for next year hunt test season!

We haven't done a kennel update in a while. But we are on the home stretch! The first 3 kennels are up. We will be adding 4 more to this row plus a larger kennel on the west wall. The hot water heater and sink were also installed. This definitely came in handy when the puppies went home! Ceiling fans have been placed above the kennels.
We will be putting up our airing yard fence in the coming days. We are still looking at having a gutter placed along the back wall as well as a drain and new cement in the corner where it's been cut out infront of the walk in door.

She loves reaching out and feeling there soft fur. They are so patient with her too, allowing her to hold onto their ears, scruff, tails.
Not only are our dogs successful in the field hunting, but they are just as amazing in the house and with our baby. π©·

We are excited to say our Typsy and Mudi litter was just confirmed pregnant today! π€ From what we could see, she will have a larger litter like her first one last year.
She is due September 22nd and take home will be around mid November.
Our boy is HOME! π€
After earning his MH and HRCH titles this summer, Croc is officially home with us! He sure missed his little baby Taryn! π
We've been busy Thursday and Friday getting these sweet babies home! π€
Prune went home to her family in the cities! Her name is now Tally. She will be this families companion for years to come!
Lemon went home to her family that lives just into Wisconsin! They named her Ruby. This family plans to use her for service work.
Grape, who is now Lacey lives in Ames, Iowa! You can tell this little sweetheart will be so loved by her family!
Orange, who is now Maverick is our closest puppy who resides in Willmar, Minnesota. Only about an hour away from us. His family plans to use him for hunting!
Banana will also be used for hunting, where she resides right outside of the cities! Her name is now Echo. This spicy girl will definitely thrive in hunting!
And last, Plum is now named (if I can remember) Nibs. She will become a hunting partner for her owner up in middle of North Dakota! This girl took the trip with us up to Fargo where we met her owner last evening as we are at a hunt test this weekend.
Our last two girls will be with us for a bit as they are much further out of state!
Our first 2 babies went home today and it's always so bittersweet to see them on their way!
Miss Strawberry will reside in Arlington, South Dakota with her owner! This once shy and not as confident puppy is now full of energy and is eager to do everything you want! She's come out of her shell and will be an amazing companion for her owner! Her name is now Mag.
Mr. Huckleberry, our big man of the crew is now up on the Canadian boarder in International Falls, Minnesota! This big, chunky, hunk of love is going to be so loved by his people! I believe they were possibly going to call him Goose.
We're going to keep the training rolling into the fall! Let's get those dogs here and let us make them amazing!
Reduced
Echo is searching for a hunting buddy this fall! Great upland dog. Smaller framed dog for being a male, he runs about 60-65 pounds. Good around kids and other animals. Up to date on all vaccines. 15 months old.
Hunted last season. Been put on pheasants this last spring but will need a refresher of more bird work this late summer/fall for a tune up into this hunting season. Minimal waterfowl training. Has retrieved ducks, been in the water, ran marks in water and grass. With more training, can be used for waterfowl. Only upland at this time. Video of waterfowl work in comments.
*Please note, he is not a wash out. He was always a started dog and his home returned him after no fault of his own.*
The long awaited pt. 2 of exciting news.
Officially introducing HR Lindleys Dream Killin Kid Stella JH π
On July 20th, at the Dakota HRC hunt test, Stella earned her final pass for her HR title! It's hard to put into words what this means to us. Stella was our first puppy we kept. The puppy we never planned to keep. But she was ours the day she was born. The first dog to achieve an HR title under Sabastian's training. An even better waterfowl dog, especially field hunting geese. Many happy tears over this achievement. π
After earning her title, we got Stella a large DQ ice cream cone to celebrate!
Going to the vet was a hard task for these babies.
We attempted to grab a few pictures of the babies this afternoon after clean up and rearranging their kennel. As you can tell, there space doesn't stay clean for long!
If you don't see a certain puppy, chances are they are sleeping under the Kuranda bed! There most favorite sleeping spot. All of our babies got to visit with their new families either over video or in person. They will all be so loved!
We have out vet appointment tomorrow, so wish us luck transporting 10 excited puppies! π€
We still have a few spots left for training! Lets get those young dogs started! Now is also the perfect time to get your dog in for some tune up work before hunting starts in a few weeks!
We are 5 weeks old today! π€
After being gone the last day from the puppies as I had surgery today, you can tell how big they've gotten! As you can tell, we are quite the helpers and always in the way when cleaning our space! We love being under your feet and making even more of a mess when your cleaning and especially after you're done cleaning! π We are just big chunks and love eating, alot. We are so excited to see everyone this weekend for picks! π₯°
For people coming to visit and video calls this weekend for picks, just give me a little grace as I may not be feeling the best from surgery. I will do my best to be involved like usual! But just a heads up. We are so excited to meet everyone!
Our HRCH Croc MH x SHR Brisa 4.5 week old babies!
We are an adorable bunch but oh so messy with our food! π We have quite the personalities and love to sing and be heard when we are hungry! Food can't get to us quick enough. We explored the great outdoors today and had our first visitor who is going to be one lucky ladies family! π€
So impressed with our Croc babies once again!
Picture's coming soon! π€
We are 4 weeks old today!
The puppies are sure getting playful with each other! π€ Personalities are coming out more and more each day.

It was a big week for the building remodel! Outside walls are up, windows installed, airing yard door installed and spray foam was done today! What do we all think of the new kennel space for our momma's and puppies?
The girls all got out today with my mom! π Featured is Poo and Lulu, the two black beauties. The two yellow girls making an appearance is grey and light blue. Light pink and pink were still by the door of the shop exploring on their own.
Stella & Wren π What else are little sister's good for besides annoying you? π Wren most definitely knows the pecking order.
Little Tilly got her first experience at a mallard and it was a hit! Little bigger than the chuckar and hen pheasants she's been working with. Now she just needs to figure out how to get in the water willingly. π
At just 12.5 weeks old, little Echo is a nut for retrieving bumpers and birds! He is a started dog out of our Wrigley x Comet litter that is being raised and trained by us! We're pretty pleased with how his training is coming along so far. πͺ
Nothing better than watching that hard work begin to pay off, and watching those puppies you whelped be successful!
Only video I was able to grab this weekend. Cover was thick and wasn't able to get to close. Comet's first time on quail this weekend. This was his quickest point. Little eager on his first bird yesterday morning!
Happy Easter! π° After meeting with our 4th pick yellow male family this morning, we came home to clean the puppy area. Just finished 10 minutes before and we were already wrecking havoc! Puppies did extremely well yesterday with all the visits and commotion. Stella's babes get their vet check done and shots on Tuesday this week. We have 2 yellow male's available (7th and 8th pick) with 6th pick pending deposit. π We have 1 female and 1 male golden left! Those picks happen next weekend! β€οΈ
