The great advantage to buying a trained dog is that you get to see exactly how well the dog can hunt, how obedient it is, and it's disposition towards people, before you buy it.  You know exactly what you're getting, no surprises.  We feel that you should be able to take a Started dog out hunting and expect it to do a good job for you right from the start, and we train them with that expectation in mind.

The Started dogs that we offer for sale are dogs that we have raised from puppies.  These dogs have been through the training we use for our Started Training Program, including:

- early socialization
- on and off-leash obedience
- introduction to birds, the gun, and water
- force fetch
- collar conditioning
- steadiness training
- many land marks
- many water marks
- upland work on quartering, flushing, and retrieving

PEDIGREE

D.O.B. 7/27/2022

Shadow is a high drive dog who lives to retrieve! At the same time, he likes loving like most labs do. He is made for the upland field with a strong, athletic build, and longer legs, weighing in around 70 lbs. He can cover ground but will respond to voice and whistle to hunt in range. Shadow has been through our Upland Started Training Program, so he is force-fetched and collar-conditioned to the heel, here, sit, and kennel commands. Shadow has been neutered.

Shadow is currently working as guide dog at Paul Nelson Farm by Gettysburg, SD. He’s doing a great job of both putting the birds in the air, and retrieving them after they’re shot! Give us a call to find out more about him.

Sale Pending!
