Had a fun finish to our hunt test season. Went up to Coteau View Hunts and Kennels, LLC. to run their fall APLA test. This was my first time running an APLA event.

CPR POLLY'S PRINCE OF WATERMAN CREEK “Dude” picked up 2 CP passes for his title.

4xGMPR TC DRK’s The Kid “Griffey” squeaked out a pass to requalify for the triple crown. HUGE thanks to Tigh Leibel and Troy Benson for all the work they’ve put in to Griffey! Rocky Ryker gets a special thanks as well!

GMPR DRK’s A League of Her Own “Dottie”, handled by Troy, picked up two APR passes last weekend then two master passes this weekend. Dottie went to Troy at Northstar Pointing Labs in late July with zero upland experience in place and Troy turned her into a machine! Hold on tight when chasing this dog around in the upland field.

!!ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT FOR TRAINING!!

We are starting to take training reservations for this season!

We will start taking obedience and beginner dogs February 1st and our more advanced gun-dog and hunt test dogs starting in March/April.
If you’re looking to advance your dog to that next level it is recommended to get them in early to get obedience, collar conditioning, and force fetch completed by the time the nice weather hits so we can be rolling right away and build that next level dog.

We will be running AKC and HRC tests.

Programs are tailored to each dog and areas of focus will be dependent on the dogs’ needs and your hunting style.

We also offer puppy head start! We will take those 8-12 week old puppies and get them started on the right path to make a big dog. Crate training, beginning obedience, place training, bird and gun intro, and much more!

We have access natural water and technical water to teach all concepts and give many different looks.

Limited spots will fill quick. Dogs continually come and go throughout the summer so if your pup isn’t ready right away that’s OK!
