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

Sully went home last week after coming in for a tune-up focused on duck work.
Sully is Jay’s dog, and Jay hunts ducks, so we spent his time here sharpening up the things that matter for that job.
He is doing really well. Sully has matured a lot since last year and approaches his work much more professionally now. He understands the job better, handles the work with more focus, and is showing the kind of progress you like to see in a hunting dog that is starting to put it all together.
It was fun having him back, seeing the growth, and getting him tuned up for Jay before the season. … See MoreSee Less
I bet I filled out a hundred of these little green notebooks in my previous life.
If you know, you know.
Back then it was round counts, mission notes, OPORD briefs, convoy briefs, grid coordinates, times, names, tasks, and plenty of chicken scratch that probably only made sense to me at the time.
Now the notebook looks a little different.
Instead of round counts, it’s bird counts. Instead of convoy briefs, it’s training schedules. Instead of mission notes, it’s puppy notes, client dogs, who’s coming in, who’s going home, who’s visiting today, who needs dog food, who do I owe a call back, and whatever else I’m trying not to forget.
At 12 weeks old, Goose is already showing a lot of what we hoped for from this breeding.
He not only has the looks, he has the natural ability that comes standard. He hits the water with no hesitation and is already jumping off the dock for retrieves. He is bird crazy, gun broke, tracks like a bloodhound, and shows no fear around launchers.
During positive pigeon drills, he has already been pointing from a distance and is starting to show some natural control without much chasing.
Goose is ready to move into scent-pointing launcher birds, and after that, it will be on to wild birds this fall.
He is owned by Tyler and family.
Goose is out of Cross Timber’s Fifi “Hazel” and by Cedarwoods Mountain Top “Moses.”
Sledge went home last week. He is out of Winnie and by Red.
He is a good one, but he is also a tough one. Sledge is a physical force, and if he doesn’t understand the task, that training session is not going to be an easy one.
But once he understands what is being asked of him, he brings a work ethic that is rarely matched.
He made me think, adjust, stay patient, and find the right way to communicate with him. That is not always easy in the moment, but it is exactly how growth happens.
By the time he went home at 2 months, Sledge was running long marks, double marks, marks where he had to hunt and use his nose to find the bird, and long out-of-sight independent drags. We finished him up with stop-to-flush work before sending him home.
He is a powerful dog with a lot of drive, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he and Jake do on wild birds this year.
We just got two more pallets of Inukshuk dog food in.
We feed and recommend Inukshuk because we have confidence in it. It’s quality feed, and it has worked well for our dogs here at Paladin Gun Dogs.
We feed 26/16 to puppies and during the off-season, and we feed 30/25 during the hunting season or when dogs need the extra fuel.
A good portion of this order is already spoken for. About a pallet and a half is sold, but we should still have some 30/25 and 26/16 available.
The best way to make sure you get what you need is to pre-order. I try to keep extra on hand, but it moves fast, and I can’t always guarantee I’ll have enough available once everyone picks up their orders.
If you want to be included on the next order, or want to reserve bags from this shipment, let me know.
Hans stayed here an extra month because Brady was tied up with some military orders, so we were able to put a good start on him before he headed home.
During that time, we worked on tracking, bird introduction, gun introduction, water introduction, and general socialization. Hans has been around people, other dogs, and plenty of different situations.
He is tracking well, swimming, showing a lot of love for birds, and is pretty much gun broke for his age. He has a good foundation under him and is ready for Brady to keep building on it.
It was fun having Hans here a little longer and watching him start to turn into a young hunting dog.
Brad and Josh stopped by this morning with their pups, Mags and Duke, and we had some fun introducing them to ducks.
Mags is out of Leia × Red, and Duke is out of Winnie × Lido. Both pups are right around four months old, so at this stage, it’s about building desire, confidence, and a love for the work.
We did some duck chase and duck search type exercises, letting them use their noses, get excited, and learn that ducks are smart. If they want to find them, they have to get predatory, use their nose, and stay after it.
That kind of early exposure is a big part of making a versatile dog. Build the drive first. Build the love for birds first. The formal work can come later.
It was a fun morning watching young dogs start a lifelong obsession with ducks.

Brady picked up his puppy Hans today.
Hans stayed here an extra month because Brady was tied up with some military orders, so we were able to put a good start on him before he headed home.

Good luck, Brady. Keep me posted on his progress.
