For decades we primarly hunted the canyons to hill tops in central and eastern Oregon for chukars, Huns, and quail for 40-50 days/season.  We occassionally hunted waterfowl but our committment was to the "devil birds" and we focused our breeding program to producing dogs that could maintain the endurance of hunting multiple days afield, hold the birds on a long point, eager to retrieve in cold water, and yet still be a calm house dog that was easy to live with.  Bird hunting has been our way of life for years as we added new generations to our lines. 

Recently, we retired from our "real jobs" which has allowed us the opportunity to hunt in other states with new challenging bird species, weather conditions, terrain, and ground cover.  We have been fortunate to spend time in South Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, and Montana and discover new hunting honey holes.  Our time hunting in the field behind our dogs in varying terrain and habitat has provided us the opportunity to properly evaluate our dog's performance and make responsible decisions about our breeding program.  We only breed our best dogs.
