Please be sure to check out our BLOG that has a lot of great advice. We encourage all owners to “like” our Facebook page as we post information daily on our facebook page. Please post pictures of the puppies you’ve adopted from us on Facebook. All owners love to see siblings! You can also visit our youtube site to see videos, including birth videos. We also have over 5,000 followers on Instagram.
Our puppies come from a long line of AKC Master hunters and their litters have produced fantastic hunting partners and most importantly loving family members.
