They’re learning to be staunch on point and mark birds well before release. They have trained with multiple dogs and handlers and get along with everybody. These are outstanding young bird dogs and will provide a lucky hunting family with many years of field and family companionship.  

Both parents are on site and can be viewed in the field along with the boys.
