Retrievers and Retriever Training
HuntinWeatherRetrievers and Kennels--Waterfowl Retriever Training
Welcome-
Welcome to HuntinWeatherRetrievers and Kennels website, the internet home of Hunting Retriever Champion Sir Sterling of Grand Lake (Sterling) and also the home of Hunting Retriever Champion Black Diamond in the Ruff (D). These dogs come from well known hunting lines and champions of all sorts. Look for future litters of hunting and retrieving labradors from these two outstanding retrievers.
How we came about:
As a young boy I remember my dad's chocolate lab named Pup. He used to work her in the pasture below the house. Then set in the drought of the 80's for water and ducks. It was not until I was 10 that my dad got back to duck hunting and a few years after that my first dog training experience happened. We had a half lab/half German shepard that I coaxed into retrieving ducks. Not long after that, my dad bought our first family labrador. This dog was later trained by Omar Driskill's Grandlake Lodge and Kennels that was then located on the edge of our farm in southeast Arkansas which is part of the Mississippi Delta. Omar is one of the forefathers of the Hunting Retriever Club and was the first president of the Hunting Retriever Club. This is where I first learned of force fetch and got to watch a dog being handled by one of the greats.
Where we are located:(we make several trips a year for your convenience through Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi)(HuntinWeather Retrievers has a location/landing point in the Mississippi Delta for the Delta Retrievers)
HuntinWeather Kennels primary facility is located outside of San Angelo, TX on 40 fenced acres of varying types of cover from plowed ground, to tall grass, and mesquite thickets. This challenges a retriever to develop its nose and eyesight to pick up birds in all types of situations. In addition to that, Spring Creek and Twin Buttes reservoir are just a couple of hundred yards away preparing your dog for swims to pick up ducks so that you don't have to step a foot that icy January water!
SERVICES-
Early puppy training--age 7 weeks to 5 months. $100/month. More and more trainers are offering early puppy training. The benefits include but are not limited to: better obedience, earlier finish time of overall training, less development of bad habits. This early puppy training program can be especially handy to one who wants a serious gun dog and wants to skip the puppy at home part. There will still be plenty of time to bond with your dog after training is complete.
Full-time Retriever Training(Gundog training)-Only $400 per month(compare this price to others!)(from basic obedience, gun breaking, force fetch, and all the way to finished/advanced)--blind retrieves, hand signals, whistle training.
This includes feeding and heartworm medicine.
We also run HRC hunt tests, call or email for more details.
I like to barter or trade, please email to discuss. info@huntinweatherretrievers.com
