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.

Paladin’s High Explosive “Goose”

At 4.5 months old, Goose is already showing a lot of what we hoped for from this breeding.
Goose is owned by Tyler and family. He is out of Cross Timber’s Fifi “Hazel” and by Cedarwoods Mountain Top “Moses.”

He not only has the looks, he has the natural ability to go with it. He is being trained by Bridget Neilson and Tate Martinson, two very experienced and successful trainers, and I think they like what they see in Goose.

That says something.

It is always fun watching a young dog start putting things together, especially when the natural ability is showing up this early. Goose has a lot of good things ahead of him.

Great update on Grimm, a pup born here this summer out of Zayda × Moses.
Grimm stayed here a little longer as part of our started puppy program before heading to his family in Michigan.

They sent this update:
“Grimm is doing great! He’s getting along well with our other dogs and the kids. We’ve planted some of our quail around the yard for him to find a couple times now, and he’s done a great job finding them and staying on point. We’re all amazed at how well he calms down when the kids aren’t being wild. Honestly, he’s just a really great puppy, and we’re excited to get him out in the field.”

That is exactly the kind of update I love getting. Natural ability matters, but so does the ability to settle into family life and be a good dog in the house.

Sounds like Grimm is off to a great start.

Wyoming kicked our butts.

It definitely wasn’t for lack of trying. The dogs worked their tails off, and we wore plenty of boot leather.

It was tough hunting, but it was still a great experience. New country, big country, good dogs, and good friends. The camaraderie was great, as usual, and camp was a big part of the fun.

One of the highlights for me was definitely the Hot Springs. There were moments where I thought I probably would have been just as productive staying in the hot springs and drinking a beer instead of chasing sage grouse. But that is hunting.

Overall, it was a great way to kick off the season. Hard, humbling, and still a lot of fun. I’m grateful for the opportunity to travel, see new places, chase different species of birds, and do it behind some pretty cool dogs with friends who have pretty cool dogs. I’ll probably be back, if for no other reason than revenge.

Cedar is already making memories in her first season.
Cedar is out of Paladin’s Mission First “Leia” × Windy Sage Rudy Red “Red” and is owned by Blaine. She is only around five and a half months old.

Blaine got his limit of sharptails today, and Cedar did very well on her first real hunt. Her was wide open, and she had some solid points on both grouse and pheasants.

That is a pretty special first hunt for a young dog. They still have three more days out there, so we will see what else Cedar gets into.

Great job, Blaine. It is always fun seeing these young dogs get their first real chances on wild birds.
