Our Training Grounds consist of two 200 acre parcels. One with 12 ponds and one with 22 ponds. We also have access to 1000 more acres nearby.
The area with 12 ponds is a natural grouse and woodcock habitat. We also maintain 2 coveys of quail.

Our dogs are trained on planted and wild birds. This abundance of game allows them to experience many hunting situations. In addition to bird work, they are trained to work out of blinds and boats.

Dogs work year round. Summer and.....
Fall.

The most enjoyable time is when we run all of the dogs at once and share their happy, spaniel questing!
Although, as a general rule when hunting, we use only 2-3 AWS at a time.
