Top Gun Kennel is a Family
business focusing on breeding, raising and training German
Shorthaired Pointers for the versatile foot handler. Steve
and Jodie have a history of training both dogs and handlers
to achieve
high
standards in NSTRA, NAVHDA, AKC Hunt Test, AKC Field Trials
and Hunting Dogs for both upland and waterfowl.
Top Gun Kennel has received two “GSPCA
Sire of the Year Awards” and produced numerous Breeder
Awards, Master, Senior & Junior
Hunt Test titles, NAVHDA NA, UT and VC honors and Amateur/Field
Championship titles on their offspring. However the most important
part of this Family business is making new friends, and meeting
our customers' goals by producing
and developing great hunting and Family companions.
Our goal is to explain the
methods we and other successful trainers use to train bird
dogs from start to finish. We feel that everyone is capable
of training
a hunting dog to meet his or her goals if provided
the proper information and a commitment is made. We feel it
is very important to develop
and maintain a trusting relationship between you and your canine
hunting partner. Often times we see and hear of people wanting
to take a “short-cut” to
success' which will build distrust and inconsistent results.
It is important to understand that not all dogs are
born willing to please his or her owner! Once we find the puppy
that will meet our needs' then it’s up to us to mold
them into the “versatile hunting dog” people
talk about. Our training methods must start early without breaking
the trusting relationship, willingness to please and desire
to find game.
We believe training bird dogs is as simple
as 1-2-3!
