Some heroes have paws!

"The heroism of these dogs is not just part of U.S. history; it resonates internationally. The events of 9/11 impacted people worldwide, and these dogs became a symbol of hope in a time of unprecedented crisis. Honoring their contributions ensures that this global story of resilience continues to inspire dog handlers, trainers, and animal lovers everywhere. The dogs of 9/11 demonstrate the importance of training and supporting working dogs in search-and-rescue operations worldwide."

Congratulations new owners! Reagan x Porter 2024 litter in the books...litter #21 for us at Great Lakes Gun Dogs!

OK guys... we just did something new and fun!! We were interviewed by Bill over at The Whoa Post podcast about the BF breed. Check it out... and listen to him as he goes through podcasts of the 32 pointing breeds of NAVHDA!!

Keith and Bridgette Leyendecker got into the Braque Francais based on the recommendation of a family member and have since developed a high quality kennel with a detailed breeding process designed to produce the best puppies that they can for their puppy buyers. In episode 18, the owners of Great Lakes Gun Dogs tell us all about this old continental breed and their family-run kennel.

5 upland species over 8 days! We had some great hunting over our dogs. Ruffed Grouse, Sharptailed Grouse, Prairie Chickens, Pheasants, and a Hunganian Partridge! It was a great hunt in South Dakota as usual. I was really excited for the great work that Tia got on some birds and for the fun mixed bags we had. But as rewarding as the trip to South Dakota was this Saturday was pretty incredible. It's a blessing anytime I connect with a Ruff in the woods, this Saturday I killed 2 and over my newest pup Tia's point. It was also pretty special to spend the time in the field with my boys, my dad, and some great friends.

Mr. Orange Wing Video

This is why we do what we do. The joy of seeing a pup already with prey drive, point, and passion!

5 weeks old! PLAY is the most important thing this week! It teaches us how to learn, explore and engage. These guys played so hard this morning they're completely cashed now... almost! 💤

Pink - 9.2 lbs

Yellow - 9.0 lbs

Checking out their new surroundings!

Just a little midnight snacking!

Those three dark blobs on the screen...? Confirmation of the Leonie x Flocon 2019 litter!! She's definitely got more than three in there though. Someone is watching their pup as the size of a gummie bear right now and in one short month it'll weigh almost a pound.
