“Roll that beautiful bean footage!”

Titles are awesome, but that first finished pass can be pretty special as well. HR Hades owned by picked up his first finished pass today in a bo**er of a test with some nasty weather and poor visibility. This was one of those you were damn proud to have one of the ones that passed! Especially for a first one!

Tis the season!

By John McCarter Taking your gun dog on their first hunt is an exciting time and it is easy to get lost in that excitement.

What’s better than a good front seat dog?

Congratulations to Millie and Ghillie on their first AKC Master passes! They were the 2 youngest dogs entered this weekend to make it through with a pass!

Millie, owned by came back for the summer trip a week ago and lost 2 days training while we drove to Michigan and STILL managed to go out there and getter done! Steady as a rock, beautiful blinds and 3 clean triples!

The dynamic duo have been as consistent as a guy could ask for, HRC seasoned in the fall, HRC finished in the spring and now adventuring into AKC Master this summer!

What is your favorite duck? 📸

28/06/2024

Lightly started GR female UFD. Has been through FF, CC/Obedience, picks up singles on land and water. Likes birds, no issues with boom gun, clean in the kennel, gets along well with people, children, and other dogs. Not a breeding candidate, owners plan to spay. Shallow hips- OFA mild. Would make a decent hunting dog with more training, tracking dog, or companion. Will attach some videos in the comments.
