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.

Let's Go

Let's Go!

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.

The Hunt First, Dogs Always.

Paladin Derby “DeeBo” was the last training dog of the year to head home. DeeBo was here for a couple of months, and during that time we were able to get the trained retrieve done and put a good start on stop-to-flush.

He is a lot of dog, and he is the kind of dog that will get the tough jobs done. Logan now has some more tools in his toolbox to help guide DeeBo in the uplands and marshes.

DeeBo is out of our Safari South’s Ariel × Windy Sage Rudy Red litter, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he and Logan do this season.

The Hunt First, Dogs Always.

FYI for anyone thinking about a Garmin Pro 550 Plus for this hunting season:

For the last couple of years, demand for the Garmin Pro 550 Plus has exceeded factory stock. Once inventory dries up, backorders have sometimes been a month or longer.

If you know you want one for this season, I wouldn’t wait until you need it. Get your order in soon.

FYI for anyone think

Big night for Paladin’s First Defense “Vax”, 5.5 months owned by Joe Wessel

Vax had a point and retrieve on a sharptail grouse out on the prairie, and it sure looks like things are coming together for this young dog.

If the Natural Ability test wasn’t during sharptail opener, Vax would be ready. He was doing it all a month ago. Pointing birds, retrieving game, handling new country, and putting the pieces together.

I think he could even squeeze out a 4 duck search at this point.

One cool part of Vax’s story is that he gets to live with his dad, Cedarwoods Comfortably Numb “Lido.”

And there is a fun little naming connection here too. Joe is a pharmacist, Vax’s sire is Comfortably Numb “Lido”, named after lidocaine, and now Joe owns Paladin’s First Defense “Vax.”

Great job, Joe. Vax is turning into a nice young hunting dog.

She is a duck hunter!
This is already retrieve #50 between doves, ducks, and snipe, and she is only around 5.5 months old.

These are special moments for sure. This is Brad’s first year after retiring from coaching high school football, and he has turned that same focused passion toward getting his young puppy ready to hunt. He has done super well.

Caliber Point Gundogs stopped by on their way to the vet for puppy shots. It was good to see a nice group of healthy, good-looking, well-bred pups. They looked solid, confident, and well cared for.

Lance from Caliber Point Gundogs and I work closely together, and I always enjoy seeing what he has coming up in his program. All of these pups are already spoken for.
