We would like to introduce our newest little Cedar Grove employee! Our sweet Parker Brooke will be wrangling dogs before we know it!
Two female AKC registered German Shorthair Pointers ready to go home! These pups are out of our personal litter with Sitka and our buddy’s dog Angus! Both parents come from excellent bloodlines and are excellent hunters, they both also are great family dogs! Video of the pups playing in the comments!
Happy 4th of July from our family to yours! We hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th! 🇺🇸
Hey guys, as you most of you know we’re expecting our little girl to make her arrival between tomorrow night and Tuesday! With that being said we want to go ahead and inform everyone that we have help in place for the kennel and Casey will be going back and forth to oversee as well. If your dog is in training or is almost ready to go home Casey will be in touch with you once we get back home towards the end of the week, if your dog is almost finished with training he will be reaching out to schedule your in person training. Please respect our privacy as we take some time to welcome our daughter into the world, Casey will be back to working a normal schedule by the end of the week. Thank you all for your continued support we can’t tell you guys how much we appreciate all of you!
Due to a death in the family we will be taking some time off over the weekend. If you message us and we do not respond please be patient we will get back with you! Please know that all dogs are being cared for we are just taking a few days off from training.
It’s that time of year again for the bird dogs. Gsps, Setters, and Brittanys are back. If you know you know! 😂 Thanks to our friends at Eukanuba for some cool new gear as well!
These crazy kids turn 2 today!! Happy birthday to our Cabella x Boone litter. We hope y’all are all happy, healthy, thriving, and hunting!
Help us wish our Citori and her brother Bongo who is with us for training a very happy 1st birthday!!
Arlie graduated our obedience program a few weeks ago! Love to see those happy faces!
A lot of folks in our neck of the woods have been purchasing GSP pups, it’s important with this particular breed’s high energy levels to have ample off leash time and brain stimulation through working with a human counterpart. With that being said Cody and Fallon have became the ideal team and this pairing should last a lifetime. Investing in you and your dogs future is so worth it, this keeps you happy, your dog happy and others happy when your dog is stable and under control. Get with us with on how we can help you with the structure your dog needs to be the best it can be!
When Osiris came to us he was a lot for his mom to handle. He pulled her on the leash and he had no patience. Upon graduating our obedience program he could easily be handled on and off leash. As you can see in the video he worked amazingly through his patience problems!
In the coming weeks and months you will see dogs from the past that have completed obedience, upland work, force fetch and have had water intros but are back for more formal training in the wetlands! Warm temps are here and it’s time to add in more water work. For a lot of our customers the dog they own is their “do it all dog” upland, waterfowl, companion in the house etc . It’s important that we cover all aspects of the criteria with obedience always being first and foremost.
Hey y’all, this is Mackenzie!
We have been very busy the last couple of months and we have many clients and dogs to brag on! But this one is special to me, this is my “Girlkin” Beretta, I worked her all last summer formally and Casey took her out west to be guided over her last fall . Beretta has everything I personally want in a Boykin stay tuned for more Beretta content in the future as she gets her feet wet in multiple venues!
This is what it’s all about! Thanks again to the Caudle family for the opportunity to work with Nova!
Just two girlies who are ready to go!
Stay tuned it’s going to be a fun summer! You’ll be seeing lots of spaniels as the days get warmer!
Good morning,
We wanted to make an announcement that we will not be allowing anyone to come for visits/training this weekend. Please be understanding that it is a holiday weekend. If you were scheduled to come this weekend please reach out to reschedule. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
The 2023/2024 woodcock season has wrapped up in NC. During the last week of the season Koda and her owner Thomas and his son Dusty went out to one of their favorite honey holes. Koda is a graduate of our started gun dog program a little over a year ago and came back last summer for a little tune up. Big shout out to Dusty and Thomas for putting in the miles to make the memories with Koda, you guys rock!
Lots of reports coming in from the holiday weekend, here’s a dedicated pair right here. Ryder was here for our late summer entry level gun dog program. Him and his dedicated owner have beat the bush’s in search of their first southern woods wild bob. They completed that task this weekend all while toting a shotgun his grandfather gifted him at age 12 . It doesn’t get much better! Congrats guys, this is why we do what we do!
Daisy is out of Cedar Grove’s Wi******er, she’s killing it in the upland covers and her owner is pleased. On this particular day he limited out and then was just out for a stroll working his dog on birds. So many folks are breeding dogs with nothing to back it up other than tailgate pics and story’s . Where’s the proof!? Proofs in the pudding with these owners . Proud to say this fella takes pride in himself his dog and his dog work . Keep up the good work guys!
Boone x Cabela pups update!
It’s been a pretty good year so far for these dogs and their owners. Pretty happy about mine and Ryan’s litter and how they’re working out I personally kept 2 of these pups and mine have done well also. We don’t have updates from everyone this season but hoping for news soon once the NC deer season is out. There are a lot of folks out there breeding papers, and even though we have good bred dogs on paper I’m a firm believer you can’t hunt papers. Wild birds in wild places are our proving grounds and where the rubber meets the road for us. You can sit out all the birds you want, you can compare paperwork over and over, but you really find out what you have in the box when you drop the tailgate in the birds domain where they’ve got the upper hand 99 percent of the time.
Things are heating up, the guiding season in NC is upon us. I’ve guided my usual customers for the last 3 years with room for 2 or 3 more hunts this year. We don’t push to guide alot here because we enjoy working our young dogs in training and our customer dogs in training on these birds over and over without pushing them out of our covers. Pictured here is a friend of ours and he’s actually shooting his new Upland Gun Company LLC 28 gauge . If you want to see how getting a fitted gun can change your life contact the guys Upland Gun Company LLC. If you are interested in possibly booking a guided hunt with us please reach out!
Pictured below is Cedar Grove’s Harkers Island pointed on a wild covey of quail.
We get asked a lot about how we gauge our dogs and decide what we’re going to guide with, breed, etc. That’s an easy answer some dogs are just bird finders. We put our dogs in wild birds throughout the country on different species of birds and putting countless miles on a pickup truck. All to see what these dogs are made of. If we have a litter off our dogs just know that dam and sire have more than likely went the distance and we’re satisfied with them on more than just birds sat in a launcher or thrown out in a simulated hunt scenario.
Skye is a graduate of our started gun dog program from last summer. She’s a family dog first, she’s got a mom dad and 2 little girls to spoil on her on the daily. She’s been through obedience, she’s woah broke, force fetched and spoiled with love! Shoutout to her owner Cody Osteen for following through and keeping up our training and keeping her in birds. Dedicated owners make life easy! We love getting updates from past clients!
We are planning to move some young started dogs to make room to focus more on our line of setters and our guide string. As of now it’s looking like we’re going some have English pointers and GSPs up for discussion. Good hunting homes are a must these are gun dogs. Please reach out to us for further details!

Max the Llewellin doing his thing in the northwoods. Smiling faces is what we’re all about at Pineridge Grouse Camp. Mackenzie and I are happy to be here another year, and get to see the clients and our extended grouse camp family! We’re a little behind on social media but intend to change that! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #grousehunting #woodcockhunting #wildbirddog #llewellinsetter #uplandguncompany #pineridgegrousecamp
Check out this owner walking around the park peacefully with her dog. This is what a walk with your dog should look like! A walk with your dog should be calm and enjoyable for both you and your dog! If this is a goal that you have for you and your dog reach out and let us help! We would love to help you enjoy your dog in a whole new way! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtrainer #ncdogtraining #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #basicobediencetraining #wildbirddog #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #uplandhunting #gsp
Ryder’s steadiness has really came a long way! Hobbled birds attempting to flush at first and then moving to a bird that will fly off. You can’t predict what will happen in the trial world or in the woods but she’s sure got a great solid foundation! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtraining #ncdogtrainer #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #wildbirddog #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #gsp #uplandhunting #basicobediencetraining
These sweet babies are officially 7 weeks old! They are growing so fast and their personalities are showing more each day! We are so excited for their future families! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtraining #ncdogtrainer #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #englishsetter #wildbirddog #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #uplandhunting #englishsetterpuppies #basicobediencetraining
This is what it’s all about! An obedient dog should listen to every member of the family even the kids. We love when kids get involved in the training of their dogs and enjoy working with them! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtrainer #ncdogtraining #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #doodle #basicobediencetraining
Here we are late September plenty of leaves still on the trees, a lot of emotion goes into guiding. This gentleman just wanted to bag a bird with his hammer gun. We tried all morning and he just couldn’t connect. After we grabbed a quick sandwich all the stars lined up for him! I was more than happy to be apart of it. . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #frenchbrittany #pineridgegrousecamp #grousecamp #uplandguncompany #ncdogtrainer #gundogtraining #woodcockhunting #grousehunting
Grouse and woodcock aren’t the only birds we hunt at grouse camp. Here’s a late season duck shoot with a first time duck hunter! My wife’s little Boykin was there to assist us and make sure the game made it to the game bag and later to the taxidermist! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtrainer #gundogtrainer #birddogtrainer #retrievertrainer #ncdogtraining #grousecamp #pineridgegrousecamp
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

When Rose and Marshall came to us their mom couldn’t walk them separately without being pulled down. Now she’s able to walk them on and off leash not only separately but also tandem! They came leaps and bounds during their time with us! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtrainer #ncdogtraining #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #standardpoodle #doodle #goldendoodle

Obedience, force fetch, pile work, and now on to some casting drills it’s just a start but this should lead her into hunting season with confidence! Stay tuned for the next couple of weeks their going to be fun and filled with water work! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtrainer #ncdogtraining #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #wildbirddog #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #uplandhunting #labordorretriever
When Charlie got to us he did not have much patience at all. This video was taken mid ways through his training with us when we first started working on patience with him. As you can see in the video he’s worked through this very well!! Just as with humans patience is SO important for dogs as well. You can also see Charlie learning at the end of the video not to jump on people, which was a big problem of his when he came to us! . . . . #cedargrovegundogs #ncdogtrainer #ncdogtraining #dogtraining #gundogtrainer #obediencetrainer #wildbirddog #birddogtraining #birddogtrainer #retrievertraining #retrievertrainer #uplandhunting #labordorretriever
