Winny is my new obedience prospect and maybe we’ll go farther as time goes on. She is a 10 month old choclate female owned by Aaron and Katie Brogan. Winnie is a daughter to HRCH Major, the choclate Lab featured in the header photos. She has lots of potential but has to get her manners and obedience in line first. She is doing well and may fulfill Aaron’s dream of having a dog to hunt shed antlers.
It takes two to hold on to Winnie
Don’t let the beard and the rough coat fool you Maggie is a true lady. Welcome to Maggie and Mark Mallot from Indiana. Maggie is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. The breed is gaining popularity here in the good old USA. Wirehaired Pointing Griffons went from the 137th most popular breed in America to 85th. The largest jump of any breed this year. Maggie is playing a lot of roles as a versatile hunting dog. She is required to point, retrieve, track and have good manners. She has a coat for rough country or water and a sweet personality for the fireside at home. We have a lot to learn here and she has started off well.
Maggie has developed into a wonderful hunter and companion dog. Eager to please yet birdie and driven she has become the controlled hunting dog most guys want.Maggie showing steadiness to flush

Beau came from the Jeremy and Ashley Vincon pack about a month ago (sorry for the delay) and took on a tough obedience course to help turn his life around. I’m happy to report Beau has took his training extremely well and may be in line for a good citizenship award. Way to go Beau. Beau is obeying commands quickly and happily. He is heeling off lead, going and remaining in his place until released and most importantly he likes doing it. 
With winter finally drifting into a memory things here at Missouri Kennels have been busy getting these guys ready for the spring hunt tests. Daisy will be running finished test with big aspirations of carrying an HRCH title with her from now on. She is working on technical marks and tough blinds (including working in the rain) and is doing well. 
Star Baby is a yellow female owned by my son J.J. and his family. She is working on her HR title and will be running seasoned tests. After a terrific hunting season she is ready for the upper stakes and may even get into the Finished test if all goes well. She has been going with me on my TRI-TRONICS trips and has been a real hit with the crowd. 
Say hell-o to Star
