Member of the North American Pudelpointer Alliance (NAPPA)
Our Pudelpointers only go to hunters. We are committed to producing versatile gun dogs that are calm in the home but “turn it on” in the field and exhibit an awesome balance of cooperation and a tenacious drive to produce game for the gun. Our breeding program strives for the complete gun dog; intelligence, drive, cooperation, and coat.
One of the best things about producing outstanding dogs for outstanding people are the relationships built. I train and hunt with several that started as “clients” and turned into solid friends.
I am so proud of the road Jason has taken with the Pudelpointer as a breed and his role on NAPPA’s board as one of their directors.
I met Jason Mix many years ago when I sold him his first Pudelpointer. Later when he was deployed to Germany by the military he had me work with his second Pudelpointer that he imported while stationed there. Over the years I have encouraged Jason to take an active role as a breeder as his honesty and dedication to the breed is rarely seen in today’s world of hunting dog enthusiasts. I am so proud of the road Jason has taken with the Pudelpointer as a breed and his role on NAPPA’s board as one of their directors. Jason’s military past and background has certainly indoctrinated one very fine husband, father, and young man that continues to make my heart proud…….Bob Farris

Not only did Jason supply me with the finest dog that I have ever had, he has also became my friend and hunting partner.

This is Hondou, (Paladins X Formerly Known As) owned by my friend Mike.
If you’ve hunted with me more than a couple times, there’s a good chance you’ve hunted with Mike. And if you know Mike, you probably know Hondou.
For only being two years old, Hondo has already seen more wild bird country than many dogs see in a lifetime. He started traveling and hunting at around four months old, spending weeks on the road chasing birds across the Midwest, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and New Mexico. Then he did it again the following year for even longer.
This dog has been exposed to a lot — different cover, different birds, different country, and plenty of time in the field. And he has turned heads of the people who have hunted behind him.
You can count on Hondo to run. You can count on Hondou to find birds. He has that drive, ability, and personality that makes him fun to watch.
Mike and Hondo have a pretty special relationship. They don’t need a lot of noise or commands. They just go hunt, read each other, and get it done.
Now Hondo is here for some formal training, and I’m excited to see what we can add to an already talented dog.
Yesterday I went down to southern Iowa with my buddy Pete for my first NSTRA event, mainly to watch Blayton and Paladin’s The Outdoor Calling “Pipr” run.
It was also their first time running that type of event, so it was a good chance for all of us to take it in and learn a little.
There are still a few things I’m trying to figure out, but I enjoyed it. It was fun watching the dogs work, seeing the format, and getting a better feel for how a different bird dog venue operates.
Most of my testing and training background has been through NAVHDA. NSTRA has a different feel. It is more of a head-to-head competition format, with dogs being judged on finds, retrieves, ground coverage, and the handler’s ability to make good decisions.
The most critical part is still finding birds. You can’t score points if your dog doesn’t find birds — and find them first.
I don’t see it as a replacement for NAVHDA, but more as another venue to get dogs on birds, gain experience, handle under pressure, and enjoy some competition with good dog people.
I’m thinking I probably need to do more of it.
Good job to Blayton and Pipr. It was fun watching you two run.
Paladin’s Taking Aim “Beau” has been here for some training, and he is going home today.
We’ve been working on tracking and beginning steadiness work.
A big thank you to Jeff and Toni for trusting me with Beau and also for this incredible gift.
The detail in this artwork is pretty amazing. The artist captured Red, Beau’s sire, along with Beau as a young pup “Little Red” and tied it all together with the Paladin Gun Dogs logo and the bird dog theme. That makes this awesome!
Gifts like this mean a lot because they represent more than just a dog in training. They represent the relationships that come from these dogs, the field, and the people who share the same passion.
Thank you again, Jeff and Toni. I appreciate the trust, the friendship, and the thoughtful gift.
The Hazel × Top puppies have all headed home with the exception of one getting started here.
Now the fun part starts — watching them grow, develop, hunt, and become part of their new families.
Cross Timber’s Fifi “Hazel” × Cedarwoods Mountain Top “Moses”
Hazel is a lighter, agile field-type female with a dense, harsh coat, strong bird-finding ability, and the kind of track perseverance I like to see. She comes from a very consistent litter with proven NAVHDA performance at the advance levels behind them.
Top brings the Cedarwoods influence I have a lot of respect for (Thunder Raider by Winstn). He earned a NA 110 Prize I and UT 204 Prize I, showing strong natural ability and finished versatile performance. His pedigree carries proven Cedarwoods dogs known for cooperation, water honesty, nose, and all-around versatile hunting ability.
This breeding was built with purpose — to produce hunting-first dogs with strong noses, cooperation, water desire, mental stability, track drive, and the kind of temperament that makes them good partners both in the field and at home.
These pups are now off to hunting homes that understand and appreciate the heritage, purpose, and stewardship that go into this breed. That means a lot to me.
Welcome to the Paladin Gun Dogs family. I’m grateful for the trust you’ve placed in this program, and I look forward to following these pups for years to come.
Now go make memories, send pictures, and keep the hunt first. … See MoreSee Less
Paladin’s Gengar is staying here a little longer for some started puppy work, but today he got a pretty important visit.
Nolan got to meet his pup.
There’s something pretty cool about watching a young boy meet the dog that is going to grow up with him. Right now, Gengar is learning tracks, birds, confidence, and the basics of becoming a hunting dog. But someday, he’ll be more than that.
He’ll be the dog Nolan remembers from his childhood.
The dog in the truck. The dog in the field. The dog in the pictures. The dog that helped teach him patience, responsibility, and the love of watching a good bird dog work.
That’s the part of this deal that never gets old.
Good luck to Nolan, Nick, and family. Gengar has a little more AIT left here at Paladin, but it sure looks like he already knows where he belongs.
Zelly is in great hands. Fun to watch her progress online. I trained two of her brothers; Hank and Timber. My daughter and son-in-law own her sister. She's out of our U litter Kodi by Red. … See MoreSee Less
Paladin’s Dead Eye “Pongo” and Daniel stopped by for a training session this morning.
Daniel said he wanted some help with the trained retrieve, but honestly, he has done a great job working Pongo on his own. So instead of having to fix much, we mostly verified the process, cleaned up a few details, and then challenged Pongo a little more.
We added the excitement of long marks on birds, and before long, he was running doubles.
This was Pongo’s very first double mark, and he handled it well.
Gengar is staying here for a started puppy program for his owners. I call this stage my AIT — Advanced Individual Training.
Here, he is learning to track, waking up his nose, and building confidence in using it.
One thing I really liked in this clip: when he lost the trail, he didn’t quit or just wander off. He went back to where he started and tried again, twice.
That tells me a lot about a young pup. He’s thinking, problem-solving, and learning to trust his nose.
This is Sledge, owned by Jake and his family. Jake is a retired Marine, and that name carries some weight—especially if you know the legacy of Corporal Eugene “Sledgehammer” Sledge.
Sledge is currently going through trained retrieve, and he has been deliberate, committed, and all business. He keeps coming back to the work and is hammering his way through the process.
There is something fitting about the name. If a dog could personify the toughness, determination, and steady resolve associated with a United States Marine, it would be Sledge.
Respect to Jake for his service—and respect to Sledge for living up to the name.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
