Pups are Here!!

 The pups are finally here!   I know it's been a long wait for some of you, but the wait is finally over and the exciting part is finally here.    There is still 7 weeks to wait, but this part of it all seems to fly by.  The fun part is finally here and now you get to watch them grow!  Puppies arrived yesterday around 12:30pm (1st) and Belle was done around 4:00 pm.  It was a short labor and everything went very well.   The puppies and Belle are healthy and that's all that matters. There are 3 males and 3 females.

 Punch is APLA Certified Pointing Retriever (CPR) that spends a ton of time in the field. He is used as a professional guide for Pheasant Crest Lodge near Kimball, SD where he gets a ton of bird exposure. They hunt hard 5 days a week from the beginning of October thru December. He literally sees thousands of birds every year. Punch is the perfect combination of looks, trainability, and drive. He has a ton of point and can go strong all day long. Punch is a 65 pound powerhouse that is lean, muscular, and has a nice broad chest and boxy head. When all the other dogs are starting to wear out after a long day in the field, Punch is still going strong. Punch has a great mix of APLA, AKC, and Field Trial dogs in his background. He comes with all the health clearances EIC/CNM clear, Hips-Excellent, and Elbows/Eyes- Normal.  

Belle is a 50-55 pound female out of GMPR MHR Rik's Risky Raider MH and GMPR Grits of Black Forest MH lines. She is pure muscle and it shows out in the field! She has a never quit mentality and hunts strong all day long! Her marking and retrieving ability is second to none, and also quarters very well covering a lot of ground in a hurry. She was first introduced to birds at a young age, and since then has hunted 3-4 days per week during the hunting season, mainly pheasant, and has developed into a national qualifier for PHU(Pheasant Hunters Unlimited) and also won the Okoboji Bird Dog challenge at only 2 years of age. Belle can compete with some of the finest dogs in the country when it comes to upland game! In the past she competed in the PHU National Championship and placed in the top 20 at nationals and in the top 15 in the final standings. She went on to qualify many times for the PHU and NBDC Nationals(National Bird Dog Challenge as seen on the outdoor channel) and also the World BDC Championships. Belle has competed with dogs that have placed very well at the BDC National and World Championships in PHU competitions and has consistently contended with and/or placed higher than. She gives me the best of both worlds being a solid pointer when the birds hold tight, yet is not afraid to flush a bird on the move. She is extremely intelligent and I pride myself in knowing that she has been trained personally by myself. From the day she came home with me she has lived to please me and retrieve. Whether it be a bird, bumper/dummy, tennis ball, or anything she can get her mouth around, she has never given up on a retrieve even from a very young age. People are amazed at the speed and tenacity she shows in the field, but she is also very calm around my kids and in the house. She knows that when it's time to come in the house, it's time to settle down. Belle is truly is the perfect family gun dog giving me everything I ask for in the field and knowing when to tone it down around children and in the house! Belle lives to hunt, lives to please, and is what I consider a best friend!
