Litter update on 03 Mar •…The circle has grown smaller now. Where once there were many soft footsteps, there is one gentle shadow still lingering. Pine remains — bright-eyed, steady-hearted, watching each new day with quiet hope. His brothers are finding their paths, his sisters settling into new arms, and he waits with that patient kind of faith only a good pup seems to know. Not lonely — just ready. Not waiting — just meant for someone still on their way. Pine’s story is still unfolding… and the right home is out there, walking closer with every sunrise.

Litter update on 21 Feb •…Two special pups are still looking for their forever homes — Pine and Arctic. 💛 These boys truly represent what makes this breed so special. Each one carries that beautiful balance we work hard to preserve: the drive and enthusiasm to excel in the field, paired with the steady, affectionate temperament that makes a wonderful family companion. Pine has a naturally confident, thoughtful personality. He’s the kind of pup who notices everything, learns quickly, and settles in nicely with his people. Whether it’s hiking trails, working birds, or relaxing at home, Pine meets the moment with an easy, balanced energy. Arctic brings a lively spark and joyful curiosity to everything he does. He’s engaging, people-oriented, and full of heart — the type of dog that will happily go all day outdoors and then curl up at your feet in the evening. Both puppies are: Well-socialized Intelligent and eager to please Bred for versatility in both field and family life.

+4Davide was responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. He was very helpful in finding reputable transport for my puppy to travel from Tennessee to Iowa. He sent a fantastic package of information about the puppy with the puppy as well as a toy with the scent of his family for my puppy’s comfort. Overall fantastic experience.
