Breeder of High Quality German Shorthaired Pointers - Health and Hunt guaranteed. Over 20 years experience as a Dog Breeder, Trainer and Hunting Guide.

Our mission is to grow the sport for the next generation and support my veteran brothers and sisters. We are small family run kennel located in the heart of Upper Peninsula grouse country. Our specialty is training young dogs how to hunt grouse by using a philosophy of Genetics, Exposure and Patience. In addition, we occasionally breed high quality and healthy German Shorthaired Pointers. Our dogs are proven in the grouse woods and you will not be disappointed! All of the dogs hunt September - December, nearly 40-50 days of hunting each fall. The dogs primarily hunt here in the U.P. and northern WI on Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock. On occasion, we head out west and hunt them on wild pheasants and prairie grouse. In addition, our seasoned dogs are woodcock banding dogs in the State of Michigan. We would be happy to help you and your dog with basic introduction (very important - birds and gunfire), foundation work, field bird work, and wild bird work. We offer full day guided hunts in the U.P. of Michigan. You can hunt over our dogs or yours. Full day of guided hunting trip includes transportation to/from arranged meeting location, bag lunch, and plenty of memories. Our rates for dog training and guided hunts are very reasonable, and we have many references are available upon request.

Rain, 25mph wind, and eventually sleet.

But these days are meant to be the time to share good friends and good dogs.

The dogs stepped up today and the comradarie was as excellent as the food.

Exposure leads to dogs taking advantage of the genetic propensity to want to find birds.

Dogs remember where they found birds and the more birds you get them into, they will seek out similar cover types on their own.

No need for hand signals or making a pinting dog "quarter," the birds will teach em where they need to look.

Making habitat...thankful for loggers.

Wasn't a bad day at all...

IMO and experience, the best time to hunt grouse is on a rainy November day.
