Buying a Hunting Dog for Christmas
Nothing compares to the serene outdoors and companionship of a loyal dog by your side. Having a dog with you while hunting can make things easier and more effective. A well-trained hunting dog can also help you track prey in rough terrains. When you’re hunting with a dog, the chances of tracking down your prey are a lot higher due to their heightened sense of smell– there isn’t much they can’t track!
Are you sold on getting a hunting dog? If you are; here are a few kennels that are expecting puppies near the holiday season:
Swift Rock Kennels
Owned and operated by Bryan Camper; Swift Rock Kennels specializes in training and breeding bird dogs in Walnut, IL. Bryan has two decades of experience training all breeds of gun dogs, however, pointers are his specialty. He has had two dogs named Copper and Smitty that have been his pride and joy that have given him many litters of great pups. Copper is a 3-time champion and Smitty is a 1-time champion in the National Shoot to Retrieve Field Trial Circuit.
These award-winning traits are passed down to Cooper and Smitty’s offspring so you can trust that any dog from Swift Rock Kennel is going to be a great hunting partner! Visit their site for more information on puppies, contact information, and location!
Tuff-E-Nuff Kennel
Owned and operated by Will Messer; Tuff-E-Nuff Kennel trains and breeds beagles at their location in Marshall County, KY. As a young adult, Will handled and trained hounds primarily for squirrel hunting or raccoon hunting. These days, he focuses on field trials and rabbit hunting.
