Located in southern Pendleton county. We are just starting our small family establishment that raises English setters and German shorthair pointers.

Picture of Rosie handling some birds this morning. She is a young dog that has as much potential as any young dog we have had. Her nickname is Kid Dynamite because she has so much energy and she will get out and go in the field. She is the daughter of Ned and Eiger Sanction.
Got Panda out for the first time since she had her puppies. Needless to say she was excited to get back out in the field.
We got some good footage of Big Fess workout this evening. He is a nephew of Yukon Cornelius and also has Erin’s Hidden Shamrock as well as Hytest Skyhawk in his pedigree. He is really holding his point very well for not yet being whoa broke.
This is Mingo’s ( 10 month old) second bird work session. He is displaying a very strong nose at this time and loves a bird.
Here is a short video of Tanner handling his Doc Holiday dog. It is very important when working with your dogs that you handle them as much as possible to build trust with your hunting partner.
On this cool morning, Eiger Sanction had a chance to get in some bird work. Since we are getting closer to our Wisconsin trip she will be getting out more on the cooler days.
Our Brittany puppies are 5 weeks old today and enjoying their dinner and time outside
Our English Setter puppies eating supper.
Had a chance to give Bella some bird work on this cooler morning. Got these nice pics of her.
Indy’s Brittany puppies are 3 weeks old today. They are doing really, really, well. Tomorrow, I am going to introduce our English Setter puppies to solid food. I will share that video with everyone. It is always funny watching them for the first time. They will be a month old on Saturday.
Got some pics of our High Cotton pointer female this morning. She is a nice young dog with a fantastic pedigree.
Last year, my wife started a craft business that produced holiday and sports theme wreaths. She is now expanding to hunting theme crafts. The items created would make great gifts for family and friends. Contact information is included in the pictures displayed.
I have been working with Calamity Jane on her retrieving skills. At this time, I still have a check cord on her so I can control her path back to me. She is coming along great. I really like her.
As you know, we sometimes have people share their positive experiences they have had with dogs we have sold them. Today, a nice gentleman shared how much he is enjoying his Cheyenne Bodie dog that we raised and trained here.
Last Wednesday, we had some new additions to our family. Our American Brittany female, Indy, had eight puppies. They will be AKC registered and they have a nice solid pedigree.
We have English Setter puppies. This is the second cross of Ned and Panda. The first cross was outstanding.
Pictures of Mingo working a bird wing. One at 10 weeks old and now at 8 months. It is time to start introducing him to birds.
Last year I touched on a topic in which I get a lot of questions. “When should I start training my pup”? Many times people do their puppy a disservice by starting their puppy too young and they are not ready for the process. I simply tell people there is no set age. Your pup will tell you. Big Fess is a perfect example of this philosophy. At age 7 months, he had absolutely no interest in in the training process. He would not chase a bird wing much less point it. At 8 months old, he started chasing the bird wing but showed very little interest in pointing. He would not chase a flying pigeon. When taking him out on the gator, he would not cast a field. He would just walk around just happy to be out. However, three weeks ago something clicked with Fess. I had him in the yard with the intention of introducing him to a pigeon in a launcher which I do with every pup. I turned him loose not expecting anything. While I was getting everything set up for the training drill. I turned around and he was standing on point with his attention on the pigeon in the launcher. I said, to myself. “ Fess is telling me he is ready to start”. I approached him to see if I could handle him on point. He stood there like statue. He never tried to move and flush the bird. After a few minutes, I released the bird and he chased it for several minutes. This morning, I felt he was ready for some bird work in the field instead of the yard. Here is a pic of Fess pointing his first bird in the field. He did a great job. So the point of this post, is most people would have given up on Fess along time ago, thinking he was a cull when in fact, he simply was not ready. Just remember, when training a dog; it is not so important on how early they start but what kind of dog they will be when they are finished.
Here is a very short video of Bob working a pigeon. The reason for the short video is Bob found the bird for I was ready to shoot the video.
Got a chance to do some bird work with Bob this morning.
At this time, we would like to introduce the newest addition to our kennel. Our English Pointer male, Pugh’s Kentucky Bob Olinger. Bob has an exceptional pedigree and is going to be a great addition to our breeding program. I know some of you might ask yourself where do they get these names. Most have noticed we name a lot of our dogs after legendary and fictional western characters. The real Bob Olinger was a deputy sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico in the 1800’s. He was the last known person shot by Bill the Kid in 1881.
Now that I have gotten caught up on the hay and am officially retired. I have had time to start training the many of our young dogs this week. Today was German Shorthaired Wednesday. I had our littermate liver pups out this morning. Reno and Sophie. In this picture, I had Sophie doing a pointing drill to help develop her pointing instinct.
Had the best Father’s Day ever, spending time with my family on the river.
We had a chance to go Noodling today and found these nice fish.
Sharing some pics of Jane today as well.

Got Calamity Jane out for some bird work today.
Still have 3 black and white female English Setter puppies available. 500 a piece. They have an outstanding pedigree. They are great pups.
Our puppies enjoying a little romp in the snow on this cold frozen day.
Our puppies turn 6 weeks old tomorrow. Here is a short video of them enjoying their supper.
Here is Sophie’s brother. We bought him last weekend along with her sister. This is a video of his first retrieving session ever. He is going to be a nice dog.
Got four really nice GSP puppies, we are working with. Here is a video of Sophie working on retrieving skills. She brings it back to me sometimes and sometimes not but is progressing very well with this and pointing.
Introducing solid food to the English Setter puppies. They will be 5 weeks old this Tuesday.
We bought our first Irish Red Setter today. Her name is Allie and she is ten months old which means she still needs a ton of work before being considered a finished dog. In the video, we took today is when we watched her work with her previous owner. She displays nice pointing instinct and hunt. She still needs work on steadiness. You will notice in the video she is creeping. She also needs a lot of yard work but she has the potential to be very good.
