Hey Craig,

I thought you might enjoy a follow up report.

"Mikki" is incredable!!! She slams on point...remains steady untill told to fetch. Great nose,

very easy to controll and retrieves to hand. Can't ask for anything more! My older male gets along with her fine and she is adjusting more and more to indoor life. She is extremely affectionate as well! I could not be happier with her. Thanks!!!!!

Craig I just wanted to let you know that we have been shooting alot of pheasant and quail

with "Ace". He is doing a good job... works hard, covers the ground well, points with style,

retrieves to hand and works well with other dogs. You did a good job with him and I beleive 

I have a good one. Thanks for all of your work.

Hi, this is Eileen Ramus with Tri-County Pheasant Hunting Preserve.

What a great dog"Pete"is!!! It amazed me how he picked right up on the scent of his very

first pheasant. He ran past the bird, circled back and went right on point. We are very pleased with him.

Craig, I can't say how pleased I am with "Mikki". Talk about a nice dog!!! I never  imagined

that I would be so happy. She worked great in Iowa. Held point and when she got to far out a simple whistle and she would come right in. She is pretty much a plopper in the house.

I really enjoyed meeting all of you and hope to return another time for another visit. After ten years of hunting in Iowa I am going to do something different next year. Kansas, Oklahoma

and maybe Montana.

Have a nice Thanksgiving and say hi to Elizabeth and Daniel.

A wonderful dog!

"Luke" is sure a nice pup and I am really happy with what I have seen in him this season.

He is picking upon things really quick. He has learned to hunt already and handles birds like

he is an ole pro. Tell anyone to call me for a refference.

Craig I wanted to let you know how well "Gracie" did after you trained her for me. She just

does it all and everyone is amazed that she is the same dog. Use me for a refference anytime!

Craig I am guideing on a preserve here in Connecticut and "Jake" is doing a super job. He got

a ten day workout in South Dakota, several hundred points and we shot fifty roosters.

He gets the run of the house and his obedience is very good. In fact he has all the obedience

that I have had in my Police dogs.

"Jo"is a great dog and you matched him to exactly what I wanted! He can clean up  preserve

birds no problem and he did quite well on Ruffed Grouse for his first year.

I enjoyed my trip to Missouri and your Kennel. You truely run a quality outfit. You may feel

free to use me as a reference any time.

Hello,

I bought a dog from you back in June. She is doing great on her first Bird Season and she is

a real good retriever.I even take her duck hunting and she acts like she has been doing it for years. If there are birds she will find them, she works the ground great.Thank you again. She is 

Muddy Creek Rudy x Uno Spoono and her tattoo is #602.

Dear Craig,

"Heidi" is my second pup that I have gotten from your kennel in the past five years. She is seven months old and pointing birds like an ol' pro.I get alot of compliments on both dogs and wouldn't

consider getting a dog from anyone else. Please feel free to have anyone phone me should you need a reference.

Craig,

I wanted to tell you ... "Tick" is a great dog! I am so proud of him. I would tell anyone who is looking to buy a great German Shorthair to buy one from you! You did a great job training him and he is also great with kids. Thank you very much for "Tick".

Craig she is doing well and we named her "Dusty". I had her put through rattlesnake avoidance

training and have Quail hunted with her two days. She found and pointed five coveys and numerous singles. I killed eight Scaled Quail and two Gambles over her points and she retrieved them all. She hunts close in tight cover with alot of cactus and thornbush but ranges well when in open grass cover.

She whoas well on command, comes in on a whistle. She points with style and retrieves quail very well. Thank you again for a very nice gundog.

Craig,

I better let you know how "Cotton" is doing. She is consistent, covers the ground well and is well mannered in the field (We are still working on in the house), responds to a whistle well, changes directions well, retrieves better than most labs, points with alot of intensity- will hold untill I get there, already relocates in cooperation with a short whistle. She will take advantage if she is without a collar and ranges farther than I like so I now use it all the time. She has retrieved

several times on doubles and has stuck with it. What else can I say after having spent several trips out with her. She has filled out and looks like a million bucks.

Hello Craig,

It has been three years since I got my dog from you and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with him. He is a natural easy going bird dog. I have owned multiple GSP. I am very particular about my bird dogs and he exceeds my expectations and is the easiest dog I have ever trained. His extreme quqlities are:

- Style on point (holds point untill flush even if I can't see him and I am calling him)

-Backs on sight.

-Retrieves even from water and hunts dead very good.

-Exceptional nose( on Game Farm birds he winds birds along ways. (20,30 even 40 yards away)

-Gets along fine with other dogs.

-Loads in the truck

-Great with people

-Quiet and clean in the kennel.

-Hunts smart and uses the wind effectively.

-Very cautious on running birds, does not like to flush them(cat stalks at a safe range in order to stay within the sent cone.)

"Hi Craig

I thought I would let you know what I think of the dog we got from you. We named her "HEIDI" and she has a permanent home!!! She does everything I could ask of her. I'm not saying that I am an expert trainer, she just does it pretty much natural and all day long.

We wound up purchasing two other females and a male from different breeders but they don't hold a candle to "HEIDI". I thought you might like to know how pleased I am. We're happy."

I just wanted let you know that "Joe" is just the perfect dog for me. You were right he is teaching me and I am learning to Quail hunt with his help. He does really well and is already a great friend. Thank you for the advice."

"Craig I just wanted to check in and let you know how happy we are with the puppy ( Apache x

Fancy litter) we bought last year. He has been a joy to train and hunt with this season. He

received his NA prize II 108 points ( NAVHDA). He received perfect scores on water work and field work but had a mis Q in tracking that held him back from his 112 point prize 1. He really

turned on this season and had many limits shot over him from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Chris Clement

Craig,

An update on the pup I bought last year; I hunted him with " Huck" in Dec. and Jan. hunting

Gamble's Quail. On the last day of season I tried him by himself and he hunted like a pro!

He worked running birds untill they stopped/held and pointed like an old dog. One Quail we knocked down ran and he trailed it 75 yards through brush. He is going to be a great dog.

Feel free to give my name any time as a reference.

Craig and family:

I would like to tell you how well both "Birdie" and "Cotton" are doing. They are just great!

They took right to Woodcock and we had a really good season with the Pheasant. Feel free

to use me for a refference if you need to and tell anyone to feel free to give me a call. We had

a very good time coming out to Missouri and thank you agin.

Craig,

I wanted to give you folks an update on "Fritz" (formally "Hero"- MC Skeet x MC Tallgrass

Annie). Last weekend we participated in a NAVDA natural ability test and"Fritz" scored 98

for prize 3. I was very pleased as he had never been in the water nor been swimming prior to

the test. He finally did make his retrieves but did not score well. He scored perfect in hunting and tracking skills ( with no prior training)  and the judges made a point of telling me what a great dog he is and what a good nose he has. In the tracking portion he tracked and retrieved the pheasant in less than one minute. I have entered him in another test and feel confident he will get his prize 1 as swimming was his only problem aera. I have had him in swimming several times now and he is swimming and retrieving well and now loves it.

"Hello Craig,

I just wanted to let you know how well the pup is doing. I have been working her on birds

and she is pointing at distances that I can hardly believe!

Thanks again for another fine dog.

"... Craig thanks for helping us with the pup, he is an absolute " fireball". I have never seen

a dog so busy.We were on the way to our fishing camp and I saw some woodcock off the

side of the road, I got " Slim" out and he went right to them and pointed! It was a great first

day.
