Eagle Ranch Kennels

Had a fantastic time today guiding for Logan Cox and his dad Randy. They won the trip by supporting the Eagle Football Alumni Association. Great fellowship. Great dog work. Great times had by all.

Off topic here but I have to comment about this. I am not a nurse and we’d all be in real trouble if I were a nurse. However, I have had the honor to work around a lot of nurses (heroes) in my career that do amazing things everyday but nothing compares to this unbelievable lady. The stories she must have. The patients she has impacted. The wisdom she has passed on to her colleagues. Just amazing.

Erk’s High Octane Blue Tide. Cute little fella. 9 week old male from the Hank x Vonnie litter. He is a cutie and starting to show signs of his natural ability.

Blown away. Absolutely blown away at the 2025 we have had. It’s always about quality and never about quantity but if someone would have told me 2.5 years ago that we would have had the honor and privilege to meet so many wonderful people across the country and have Eagle Ranch Kennels represented in some form or fashion in so many states, I would have told you that you’re crazy. And to those that have served as mentors, offered advice, or have helped with training our dogs, we are indebted to you forever. Whe are so blessed for the extended family and friends we have come to know through the common love of bird dogs, gun dogs, etc. (no matter the breed). Finally to all our puppy families - we cannot thank you enough for being such great caretakers. The love and respect you have provided our puppies is worth more than you will ever know. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are so excited about the future. God Bless - Brad and Jil Trower

Let’s get one thing straight:
We NEED ethical dog breeders.
Not backyard breeders.
Not puppy mills.
Not “oops litters.”
Ethical. Responsible. Passionate. Breeders.

Because the truth is this:

Good breeders don’t just produce puppies — they protect entire breeds.
They’re the reason we still have healthy working dogs, therapy dogs, sport dogs, and family companions with predictable temperaments and solid genetics.

Good breeders raise puppies like they’re staying forever.
Socialization, early exposure, enrichment, confidence-building…
None of that is “extra.” It’s STANDARD.

Good breeders take dogs back, every time.
For life.
No questions. No judgment.
Because their puppies NEVER end up in shelters, ever.

Good breeders breed for preservation, for improvement, and for LOVE.

And here’s the part people don’t want to admit:
Without ethical breeders, we’d lose the breeds we depend on and adore.
Service dog lines.
Duty-driven working breeds.
Family-safe temperaments.
Sound structure.
Predictability.
Purpose.
History.

Shelters are full because of irresponsible breeding —
not ethical breeding.

So next time someone says,
“Just adopt,”
remind them:
You can support shelters
AND still value ethical breeders.

Both matter.
Both play crucial roles.
Both are needed.
Because the breeders doing it right?
They’re the ones keeping dogs healthy, stable, and loved for generations to come.

I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to have Outlaw in our family. And I’m so grateful for Hunt'em Up Kennels for not only giving me the opportunity but for all the work the being put in. To see him develop and become the next generation of what his parents were is such a blessing. I’m truly honered. What a handsome boy he is!!
