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!
