Well interesting day to deal with another Facebook Click. We have not posted an ad on Facebook for quite some time and when we do, someone gets offended (At What???) and all we are doing is promoting our business and NOT violating any policies. yes, we had to jump through hoops to re verify who we are, because Meta doesn't verify nothing, they just block all or parts of your page. Great work Facebook (Meta)
Anyhow, back to what we love. Our dogs

UPDATE: Chloe didn't hold off on her heat cycle. We will be breeding her late June 2023. Don't miss out on these two litter coming up.
It looks like we will have a busy late summer with two litters back to back. We are hoping Chloe holds off on her heat long enough so we can finally get to run her in an HRC seasoned test (and not be judging) in a couple weeks and with any luck, get her HR title in the fall. Chloe has not disappointment us in her training, she is fire and we call her a chocolate Paige. We are excited to see how her puppies progress. Don't miss out.

Rain, has not disappointment us at all we see both sire and dam in her and she is absolutely like a rock in the upland field. Scroll through the pictures here on our page. Rain's first litter sired by our Zeke was a litter that as the puppies got older, the more we liked them in how early they all learned things and the desire for birds. This breeding will be a repeat. If you're looking for a yellow, check us out. We hope to get her 4XGMPR this fall.

What do they say, ignorance is bliss? What we are talking about is health testing. Look at the health testing our dog have. None of this is cheap but, it ensures the puppies will be healthy as possible. We do a few more test than many others out there. Lets talk Injuries, especially out hunting. It will happen, injuries to the eyes most likely will not be evident without proper exam equipment but, they will show up on an eye exam. Briars are the devil. enough on that. Be cognitive of what is going on and carry a first aid kit.

Lastly, we do offer delivery of your new puppy. There is a fee involved, and it is based on distance. What is better than the breeder willing to deliver your new partner. We also offer a veteran, first responder discount. These dogs are great animals and make an awesome family member and hunting partner.
Here is a pic of Rain and Chloe to close out. Have a great day.

Hello all, We have an update in our training costs, breeding's for summer/fall of 2023 and an overall update for the kennel.

Starting 1 Jun 2023 we will be charging for birds used in training. We have resisted these last few years, and have decided to start charging for birds instead of raising our monthly training cost.

Breeding; We will be doing a repeat breeding between 2.5XGMPR HR Rain / 4XGMPR HR Zeke. Rain's first litter with this breeding showed early advancement. This will be an all yellow litter.

Our second breeding is not up on our website yet and will be late May once Chloe's OFA results are in. Due to a change, we had to change the stud we will use for her first breeding. This breeding will be 1.5XGMPR Chloe / 4XGMPR HR Zeke. This will be a black and chocolate litter.

If things keep the pace that was set on 7 Apr, we may be able to take on a few more dogs for training (over the usual 3 or 4) sometime in the second half of this year. a policy we started late 2019, We don't train mixed breeds or dilutes. Please go to our website www.randvkennels.com for more info on training and our breeding's
