All of our puppies will go through our puppy raising program. The pups will go home with their new owners between 8-12 weeks. During their stay with us we will work on crate training, socialization, and retrieve drive. With the purchase a pup you will also receive a video series on training your new gundog. A $250 non-refundable deposit must be sent in via CHECK or PAYPAL, then another $250 deposit will be sent once the litter is on the ground. our pup's will range from 1700-2500 depending on titles of the parents and training. Call (828) 734-3249 for questions or to put a deposit on a future litter.
This program requires a lot out of the owners, The Owners must start their dog in our foundations program using our online video series or private lessons. The dog must perform some basic drills with drive and enthusiasm before starting our group training programs. Having the owners start the dogs in our foundation program allow us to see that the owners are committed to the training and allows us to evaluate the pup's potential before they come to the join other dogs in distracting environments. We only take 10 dogs at a time, so that our clients get plenty of attention. We train all breeds but specialized in spaniels and retrievers.
$200 Cost includes two training sessions and 4 live birds per month for training.
$100 one session, birds are not included
$140 Private Lessons
We train non-slip retrievers meaning the focus of our retriever training is steadiness and blind manners to give you the perfect "meat dog". The dog will be trained to handle simple blind retrieves and hunt deads but we do not train field trial dogs or run retriever hunt test.
The Gundog program is focused on developing a nonslip retriever and a steady upland flushing dog that is a pleasure to hunt behind.
We would love to help you handle your dogs through Spaniel Hunt Test. The dogs will start at the Senior level, and progress to the Master Hunt test.
