I'm nathaniel C., the breeder behind Iron Oak Kennels (v.d. Eiseneiche) located in Spring Grove, PA. Our breeding program uses the KlM-GNA breeding standards as our foundation and then goes above and beyond to produce and develop the best possible versatile companion gun dogs. Our puppies are whelped and raised according to the Avidog program, and prepared for the NePoPo® training system.
Q. & A. with nathaniel
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the KlM's ability to be both an excellent hunting dog and companion dog.
What makes your program special?
We are professional dog trainers. Because of this we go to great lengths to ensure our dogs have sound temperaments and leave our home with the best foundation possible to avoid all of the common issues that arise with puppies. As a certified NePoPo® trainer we imprint and condition our dogs to be active, engaged, and operant training and hunting partners.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown roan and brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
