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.

Paladins Uplander (Timber) headed home after putting in some really solid work.

Timber is an old soul type of dog. Easy going around the kennel, fun to work with, and the kind that just settles into training without a lot of drama. But when birds are involved, he flips the switch. Bird drive for days.

His trained retrieve is complete, and he’s got a good steadiness base. The cool part with Timber is he was already a productive hunting dog last season. Now we’re adding manners and polish on top of that foundation.

That’s when things start getting really fun.

Paladins Ziva went home this weekend after a couple months of training with me. She made a lot of progress during her time here.

Her trained retrieve is complete, and she has a solid start on steadiness fundamentals. Ziva is a fun dog to work with and has all the tools to keep moving forward. Now it’s time to put in the summer reps, get her on birds, and test her at the next level or just continue to hunt the heck out of her.

Big thanks to Chad and Tracy. Not only for trusting me with Ziva, but also for the incredible handmade cutting board with the Paladin Gundogs logo CNC carved into it. That was an awesome surprise and something I’ll proudly keep around the kennel for a long time.

Good dog. Good people. Hard to beat that combination.

I picked Hazel (FIFI) up yesterday from Alexandria, MN, and she is very, very pregnant. Everything looks good on that front.

We had an uneventful start to the drive home. She settled in the back seat and had been quiet for a couple of hours. As the trip went on, it started raining and getting dark, so I was pretty focused on the road conditions.

Out of nowhere, Hazel decided it was time to check in. She got up and licked me right in the ear. I’ll be honest, it caught me completely off guard. I jumped and probably sounded like a little girl 🙂 She, of course, was completely unbothered 🙂
