Country-Side Breeders

Patty,

Just have to let you know how impressed I am with this little boy.  He is so easy to work with.  Super confident, haven't found a single thing wrong with him, yet.  He is already kennel trained, walks great on a leash, knows his name, and "come", "sit", "no", and "off".  He has picked up everything, it's crazy.  Sits for his dinner, not a single accident in the house in 3 days.  And, we are working on training him to use a doggy door bell to ask to go outside.  We are just working on manners right now, but when he gets to playing, he will intensely point at his toys.  Can't wait to hunt over him and Ruger together. 

​

Update:  Remi has stolen my heart and is amazing in every aspect of the word.  I'd like to join a local NAVHDA Chapter and get him titled. He currently weighs 53#. ~ Melissa and Joe

Patty,

Thought I'd share an update on our boy. He's grown to be extremely loving, friendly, and curious. He loves to swim and check every bush or tree for birds. He sits at our feet and waits for attention..sometimes a little too much..the funniest thing is he's learned to huff loudly when impatient, bored, or bothered by us snuggling too close while he's trying to sleep. So if we don't open the door fast enough for him to go outside, expect a loud huff from him. We love him dearly, he's made our family whole. ~Kurt and Sara

1st grouse for Riser, proud moment. Stella and Buddy litter.  (Grandpa being Hank, what a phenomenal dog he was).  ~ Nick

Patty,

Raven pointed both birds, retrieved the one runner and was on another bird instead of retrieving the second. Her first multi point though.  ~Mike and Chris

Patty,

Thought I’d give you an update on our girl Scout. She has become a grouse hunting machine. Even with a fresh 6 inches that we woke up to in Cable, WI she was able to find and flush a small covey. She loves our kids and riding in the truck with me when I’m working. Outstanding pup! -Lance

Patty,

Diesel is doing amazing; he loves to go hunting. He gets mad when my son and his girlfriend leave for work, I think he thinks they are going hunting without him, as they take him a lot. He gets along great with little kids, and other dogs. I have attached a picture of his first bird and him. ~ Jessica

Patty,

This is from a game farm in January.  We hunt at Sugar Bush Pheasant farm need Wittenberg, WI.  We usually go around 6 times a year.  Max is turning into a well rounded dog in the field and at home.

Greetings!
Just had to send a little note that our dear Eva has reached the one year mark!! She is a whopping 45#, tall, beautiful, healthy, and smarter than any of our previous girls, and keeps me going and going!!  She goes to doggy daycare once a week to give me a break and has a ball with the other dogs.  She is a grand swimmer and got the chance to fight the waves on Lake Michigan this summer.  She loves tennis balls and will hunt and search forever until she finds the one you just threw (even when there are multiple in the yard/woods).  Loves our cat “Miss Gray” but they keep a respectful distance.  She is a joy and without her I would have mourned Gertie for a long time.  She is Poppa’s pride.  -Marian

Patty,

Major is a spicy pup, but he's really coming into his own as a hunting dog.  Holds a point without breaking, and his nose is solid.  He gets plenty of work every year and we're looking forward to some travel hunt next year, now that he's solid.  He's coming into being a great house dog as well now that he's almost through the famous GSP puppy years, haha.  Thanks for a great dog.  ~ Scott

Patty,

Axel is turning out to be "one hell of a coyote pup", using his outstanding nose to track them.  We've had 3 successful hunts with him so far this season. ~ Keith

Hi Patty,

Remington is so much fun to have around and we are loving him being here.  ~ Brad

Hey Patty,

Hope you are doing well. It's been awhile since I've updated you on Lilah. I ran her in her first NAVHDA Utility test a couple weeks ago. She got a Prize 1 202. Missed the max score by 2 points, she qualified for the Invitational next year. When we were lining up to do the Steadiness by the blind and retrieve, we had a lightning strike hit very close and we all felt it. It threw her off a little bit so her heeling wasn't as good as it normally would be. ~ Jared

Patty,

Wren is almost a year and a half, from Annie and Buddy's litter. He loves backpacking with his friends, running in the mountains, sleeping in tents, hanging out at breweries, and snuggling.  He is one happy boy. ~Marie

Good morning Patty,

Tucker has been just a joy to our family this past week. He definitely fits in and is very much loved. He has learned a great deal within the first week. He has met our chickens, and he loves to run with them, and even helps me round them up in the evening. 

It took 2 days for Tucker to be relaxed in the car. He now enjoys the car rides and comes to work with me daily, and has been quite the popular pup here! He also has learned to let us know when he needs to go outside to go potty, with just a little whine :) He also knows to sit and stay, with knowing he gets a treat !  Little by little, each day he is exploring and learning something new. 

This past weekend we went camping. He went swimming for the first time, just a few minutes of it, but loved the water and swam with no problem. 

Tucker sure has made a huge change in our lives for the better! Couldn't imagine life without him now :) ~Trish

Hi Patty,

Violet continues to do very well. She's a smart dog and trains easily. She goes on several walks a day. She stays right with my husband and returns when called. He has a story of one time a deer and her walked up to each other and sniffed noses, the deer then startled and ran away, it scared Violet so bad she turned tail and booked it all the way back to the house. That was a while ago and she is braver now. She sure is a happy little dog.  ~Pam

Hi Patty,

It's been awhile, but here's a recent picture of Raven.  She has the most beautiful coat and most of her molars are in.  She is a fantastic hunter, but has some stubborn streaks.  Can't wait for October to do it all for real.  Thanks again, Mike and Chris

Hey Patty,

Just wanted to say thanks again for making our house fun with patter of four feet. Jordy is such a kind soul and Milo has the most unique big personality of any dog I have ever seen. At the moment he is chasing Jerry around the house grabbing his leg with his and then biting him to play. We had the grandsons over Friday night and Milo was right in the middle playing as if one of them. Although the three year old often says “ Jordy is such s nice dog”. But then plays with the puppy. Still missing Buck terribly but these two sure make it easier. Anyway thanks again. For the thousandth time. -Tracy and Jerry, WI

Patty,

Well we have had Scout out to hunt every Sunday. And that character has put us on birds each and every week. Last week he had us on 3 birds, we got one. The birds at Bong tend to run. But he managed to get onto three birds and get into a classic point each time. It is awesome and we are truly enjoying every minute we have with him. Mike cannot believe how well he is doing. Mike is in awe. There were two other dogs and I could not count how many guys looking for a bird that had run into some thicket. Well, we were so proud of that little guy. He found the bird all these guys and dogs were looking for. Mike shot it and we went on our way and all those guys were left standing there. We were so impressed. We wanted to give him a treat each time he got a bird for us and we have found that he doesn't want any. He spits them out and wants to get back on the hunt. He loves to go hunting. Spirit is getting really big, tall and lean. Still all legs though. He is a joy to have around. Take Care, Ellen and Mike
