What do you do with 12" of fresh snow on the last day of Iowa pheasant season when everyone else is shoveling out?

Late season roosters are the best. Let's see those pictures of the long spurs you are harvesting. Does anyone have 3/4" or longer?

Just as important then providing them with a food source, is the winter habitat for them to survive the environments they have to deal with to carry over to the next nesting season.

"Hello Steve & Jodie - I hope you are doing well and are having a great holiday season. We have had Roxy (Snuffy x Sadie) now for 20 months. She is having a fantastic pheasant hunting season this year. We have been very impressed with her - which grows each time we take her out. I have had her out 8 times so far this pheasant season here in Pennsylvania. For example, the last time we went out we went to a private farm and put out 8 birds and she found & pointed 15 birds. She didn't bust or bump any birds. She is extremely fast to track down shot and/or wounded birds and gets better every time. She hunts at a medium range and always checks back to see where I am. She works a quartering pattern naturally. I talk to her and handle her very little when we are hunting since she is so natural. Everything you said about just teaching basic obedience and doing a proper bird and gun intro were very true. We do need to work on retrieving this offseason - she tries to pick up the birds but doesn't seem to understand how to grab/grip it yet - I'm not too concerned about it.
She is also great around the house and with our 3 young kids - extremely gentle with them and just wants to cuddle up."

"Happy New Year!!! I was going to call you to tell you about Charlie- he had a fantastic hunting weekend. We hunted quail Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I track his stats and he ran 31.6 miles and had 46 points. He was incredible. He will track the birds with his nose in the air and narrow it down and just lock up. He has really honed his hunting skills. He holds like a rock. The retrieving still needs work but he is incredibly. And then when he comes home he is just a big snuggle bug."

"Lincoln joined me and Macy this morning for his first Kansas quail hunt. He was able to witness a strong point and covey rise within the first 15 minutes of the hunt! I think I have a lifetime hunting partner." (Hank x Sadie)

"Pistol Pete is more than a great hunting dog; his desire to please, high energy and confidence makes him an excellent show dog too. Now that Pete has his Grand Champion Conformation title, we are switching to the hunt related titles and activities that Pete loves the most. I never imagined I would own a dog so handsome, versatile, and such a great companion. Thanks again for all your work to provide such quality GSP’s."

"Iris and I went out this morning and had a fantastic hunt. She said she wants to learn how to shoot for next year. She was pretty excited about the whole thing. Bee has been on fire this season. Her nose is absolutely amazing!" (Hank x Dee)

“Steve and Jodie, Kruz is just over a year and a half, and he has been incredible to watch in the field. Big nose, high prey drive, locks down on birds hard, covers ground quickly, excellent retrieval to the hand. He’s got everything you would want in a bird dog. When he’s not in the field he is the happiest dog around with a great demeanor for a young dog. I am so excited to watch him continue to develop in the field” (Jake x Winnie)

A good Friend of our shared the memories he created today. "Tucker turned 15 today and guided a grandpa and his 12-year-old grandson on his first pheasant hunt. Grandson was the only shooter. Fun day!" Truly blessed with getting our next generation outdoors!

We are both very proud all of our customers that put in their time and efforts to support their needs and goals with TGK offspring. However, this pup named "Frankie" has accomplished some very impressive honors teaming up with his owners while continuing to be a great hunting and Family companion. This guy is truly special!

Words cannot express how we feel about this individual in Hank. This dog loves me and will do whatever we ask of him to please me. He gives me 100% every day, every time we put him on the ground. He only retrieves birds to me and will only hunts for me. I am not a "me" "my" or "I" person like you see above...but I am the only one this dog thinks of each and every day and we love him for it! I am Truly blessed!

If your dog loves you this much send a picture of appreciation!

"Steve and Jodie-
We wanted to send some updated photos of Kaos and a couple with Brooks. He is so gentle with him! We can’t wait to see them become best buddies and grow up together! Kaos is also learning the e-collar and is doing great with it! He loves to bring the chaos but is also great at snuggling too!!" (Hank x Rogue) 15 weeks

George is amazing. It is impressive how close he hunts when there are no other dogs hunting with us. Check out our newest hunting dog Bubba
