We offer the amazing experience of a true upland bird hunt with a personal touch on our groomed, crop-covered fields. Here at Mountainview, we attend to details and can accomodate the entire spectrum of hunters from the novice to the very experienced - including persons with disabilities.

This is just to say a sincere thank you to all that attended our 12th Annual Veterans Fundraiser on October 7, 2023. The Towershoot was plenty of fun and the birds flew better than expected! The BBQ was, well, very wet! Good food, good friends, good raffle items! ❤️❤️❤️

Special thanks to Patricia and Robert DeLorenzo and Joey Kozcot and Matt DeAngelis for the their tireless efforts to help behind the scenes!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks to all who donated food, raffle gifts, time, etc. It’s such a worthy cause for local veterans to have a fund for emergencies that could arise.
Please patronize the stores listed as their generosity is so helpful in our endeavors to help our heroes. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Standby for more fun ways to donate money for the fund that assists veterans!!!

PS. With all the nasty weather we didn’t get a group photo🙁

This is the first of a few quilted table toppers or wall hangings that will be auctioned off at the raffle during the barbecue at our veteran’s fundraiser. It  was made by me and was one of the first projects that I started years ago but finished recently. I hope you like it.

Just a note for those who are planning to attend our Towershoot Veteran Fundraiser on October 7th. Instead of holding the barbecue at the Betty and Wilbur Davis state park we will be having it here on the grounds, down by the clubhouse. Unfortunately, the pavilion is being used by others.
We have plenty of cool things in the raffle this year. I’ll start to send some pictures soon. ❤️❤️
We still have a few openings. If you’re interested, please contact us.

The Trophy for the ribbon bird is all ready for the lucky winner at the Veteran’s Fundraiser Towershoot! Good Luck, all!

Fantastic training weekend!! So much fun, friendship and food. Oh and some dog training. Hudson Valley GSP Club had a blast, including tornadoes, UFOs, shooting stars, pedigreed pigeons, thunder and lightning, a rainbow….. nothing new for Mountainview Preserve & Kennels. Surprised it didn’t snow! Next time, we should talk about pigeons.
We missed all that weren’t able to come.

Happy 2nd birthday to the Sage/Gunner Harry Potter litter. Please send photos of any MVP dogs you have.

Hudson Valley GSP Club had our final Field Trial at the Flaherty Field Trial Grounds for the spring season. It was great fun!
Congratulations to all whose pups got ribbons and/or progressed to the next level.
Can’t wait ‘til the Fall Season!
Rip was able to pull off another blue ribbon in a 3 point major in Open Gun Dog…..and now to get some retrieving points in the fall! He’s a good boy!

Mountainview‘s Ripping it up (Rip) got his first leg toward his senior title at the Hudson Valley GSP Club Hunt Test over the weekend, here at Mountainview Preserve and Kennels. Thank you so much to everyone who came and everyone who worked it. It was a really pleasant weekend, very enjoyable. Lots of happy faces. Hopefuly, we will see you all at the next event!

We’re proud to announce that last weekend, our Sage (Mountainview’s Perpetual Motion) achieved her Master Hunter Title (pending AKC approval).

As uncharacteristic as it is, Frank was so happy he broke out in song 🎵 🎶 (video credit to Kenny Isgro 😂)

We’d like to thank the GSP Club of the Finger Lakes for hosting yet another hunt test that was well run, organized & lots of fun.

Our Sagie girl took some time off from her busy career path to birth 2 litters of beautiful Mountainview GSP puppies with our Gunner. She’s back on track having finished her Master Hunter Title as well as being a Field Champion. In her spare time, she enjoys pointing, backing, eating and licking everyone. 😂❤️🐾🎶

Our last pup has been sold. I’m happy but there seems to be something in my eyes making them water.

Our last Mountainview pup! Last but certainly not least!

Here’s our almost 5 week old Saga/Gunner puppies. Four are still available to families that hunt/compete. They are happy little creatures.
