Cross Timber Gundogs - Pudelpointer

23/11/2024

Went out with a few friends to chase bobwhites yesterday on Public Land. Got into enough birds to keep it fun without a doubt.

Cross Timber’s Duchess Dani did a great job working the field and at least a few birds were harvested off her points. She is co owned by Chris McCormick.

North Texas Need for Speed, UT I (Goose) was also on the hunt with his owner Mitchell. He is a nice male.

Looking forward to seeing how Cross Timber’s Duchess Dani X North Texas Need for Speed pups turn out after seeing them both hunt side by side yesterday. She was bred to days before this hunt.

Enjoyed a day afield with my 14 year
Old son and a friend (Brandon Matthes), and of course with our four legged friends as well.

We moved a number of Bobwhite coveys hunting public in OK on opening day.

One of the males we kept named Cross Timber’s Implement the Plan, NA I (AKA CREED) is now 10 months old. This was his first wild bird debut. Wasn’t certain what I’d see as some dogs do great in canned training scenarios, but don’t impress on wild birds after walking for miles. He didn’t dissapoint. Never stopped moving or tired out when on the ground. He even got in on some action with a point or two that resulted in a shot bird. After going through a number of males I can honestly say this one appears to be a keeper.

Lastly, the last few minutes of legal shooting light Cross Timber’s Above and Beyond, UT I locked on point at the edge of a small cliff. My son climbed up there and the bird fell to his 7 1/2 lead shot. I’m sure that one will be engraved in the memory bank. It’s the memories we share with our dogs and the folks we love that makes all this hard work worth it!

Cross Timber’s Implement the Plan

Creed is a retrieving fool! He is 8 months old.

Cross Timber’s Jump Shot (AKA AUTO) was tested in our local OKNAVHDA Chapter by his owner Jeffrey Metheney this past weekend. I was out there testing Creed Sunday as well, so I was able to see him run the test. Auto put on a show in every part of the test and earned the max NA score of 112 pts.

Thanks Jeff for putting in the time!Jeffrey and his wife are the kinds of dedicated owners that we feel good about selling a pup to. Jeffrey hunts a lot, and this dog will see a boat load of birds this year. Jeffrey has come to several training days with AUTO, so I’ve had the privelage of seeing him several times before test day. He’s a nice dog out of (Flatlander’s Chicago Bandit X Cross Timber’s Duchess Dani)

“Cross Timber’s Implement The Plan”(AKA CREED) earned the max score of 112 in his NAVHDA Natural Ability test yesterday.

I’ve been impressed with this dog in more ways than I can express. Creed launches into the water for retrieves and swiftly covers a field in search of birds.

Creed has been a joy to work with so far and has been displaying certain things in training that suggest he is truly special, such as, the day when (at a mere 6 months old) he totally disappeared, body and all, with “only his tail” out of the water only to come up with the diving duck in his mouth! He has went under water twice for ducks now, so not a fluke.

I went through 6 males to find this one who I expect to one day represent our program well, and who I expect to become a top stud for our Cross Timber breeding program one day.

Only time will tell, but right now I’m feeling really good about him!

I’ve been training Oxbow’s Muskogee Merle (AKA TRIPP) for several months now. Trip certainly brought his A game today and earned a Utility Prize I with a max score of 204. I certainly can’t take all the credit for his success today as his owner Alex Burkdoll put in some training time with Tripp, especially during his first few years of life. He is now 6 years old.

I appreciate his owner Alex Burkdoll for allowing me to take Tripp on for this task. I also appreciate Calvin Harpe for producing such a nice male.

Oxbow’s Muskogee Merle, UT I will be joining Cedarwood’s Cowboy Oakley, UT I as a stud dog for our breeding program.

Cross Timber’s Chickashsha Poya earned a Utility Prize I, 204 pts this past week! Congrats to Joshua Hinson the owner. This is a nice male that is a duck hunting machine! I still remember the call I got from Josh when he was looking at getting a dog. Joshua hunts on prime Native land quite a bit and he and Tweedy harvest limits of ducks and multiple species every year.

A big thanks to Josh and all the other Cross Timber owners who take their time to test their dogs to high levels.

Cross Timber Gundogs had a good day at the Heartland Chapter in Nebraska.

We had two dogs run their Utility Test today. Both dogs are out of our female Cross Timber’s Above and Beyond, UT I.

The left dog is Cross Timber’s Finonna (AKA KODA) owned by Jim and Debbie MCcaul. Koda earned the max score of 204/204 pts to solidify the Utility Prize I. She is sired by Ripsnorter’s Shoot and Miss, UT I. Koda’s training can be attributed to both Jim and Debbie who have done a fantastic job with her. They plan to take her to in the 2025 Invitational, and I’m betting on them!

The right dog is Cross Timber’s Driven to Serve (AKA Sloan) who earned 174 pts and a Utility Prize III. She is sired by Cedarwood’s Cowboy Oakley, UT I. Im busy training a male for his Utility test so I didn’t have time to take Sloan on this year for training. A big thanks to her owner Ryan Adams for allowing us to send her to Ryan White in Kansas to be trained for her Utility Test. A big shout out to Ryan White who worked very hard with her and was very communicative throughout the time he trained and worked with her with both me and her physical owner. He did a great job with Sloan and I can recommend him!

Both dogs will be breeding dogs in our Cross Timber program. We are more than thankful to have such special dogs in our breeding program and honored that their owners are willing to work with us to continue the improvement of this remarkable breed.

Oxbow’s Muskogee Merle sure has a nice stylish point. Still has a ways to go, but coming along in his Utility training. Great temperament and good to be around. We will continue working with him.

Cross Timber Gundogs decided with the passing of Oxbow’s Big Gun (a good producing stud) that a nice male sired by him should have the chance to pass on his genes. There aren’t a lot of males directly sired by Big Gun around. There are a few, and those are nice dogs usually.

This male named Oxbow’s Muskogee Merle (AKA TRIP) is a Big Gun son, and he has been at my house in training. He is working towards earning a Utility Prize and qualifying for breeding so that he might join Cedarwood’s Cowboy Oakley in becoming a stud dog for our breeding program.

He is a nice dog that runs well, hits the water hard for retrieves, and points with true intensity and style…high tail and all!

Cross Timber pup with his new owner Tyler Schill. Working on deloping his innate desire to retrieve.

This pup was produced by a breeding between Cross Timber’s Duchess Dani, NA I X Flatlander’s Chicago Bandit, UT II.

Our latest Cross Timber litter. All these little guys and gals are spoken for. Feel free to look at our Cross Timber Gundogs website info on future plans.

Cross Timber’s Game Changer was ran in a Natural Ability test by his owner Chad Bloomer and earned a Prize 1 with a maximum score of 112 this past weekend.

Chad plans to take him on to the Utility level. This young dog is making waves for his ability to move in the field and his style on birds, not to mention the way he is put together and his stunning appearance…

Cross Timber’s Fionna is the first dog out of Cross Timber’s Above and Beyond, UT I to attempt the Utility test.

This last weekend she earned a Utility Prize II with a very respectable 193 pts.

She only was dinged in drag and heel, which her owner James MCcaul said he plans to clean up and try for the UT Prize I with her this fall. I’m betting this team will get that done. Once the UT I is in the bag they hope to go to the Invitational to go for the title of Versatile Champion! She is a cooperative, good running girl who can tear up the duck search!

A big thanks to Jim for putting in the time and effort to demonstrate the talent of this young girl in the testing environment.

Cross Timber’s Heart N Soul is a female in our program. She is co owned by Charles Cox who NA tested her yesterday and she earned 4’s across the board, but got dinged in track as many dogs do. Earned 108 pts and a prize.

She is from a breeding between Little Egypt’s Fishin in the Dark, NA I X Versatile Champion High Life’s V Zeke, UT I (204).

This girl has tons of point and will allow her Hunter to the front of the bird every time to get in position for a shot, despite her being less than a year and not being steadiness trained yet.

She also retrieves on land or water with intensity.

Hard to believe such a driven field dog can be such a calm house dog.

He plans to move on to UT training now!
