Our Dogs...

Gunner - (Greta von der Salzmarsch)

Gunner is a wonderful 2 year old Schwsch (black and white ticked) female from the von der Salzmarsch kennel in Utah. Gunner has proven to be a very biddable dog with a lot of natural ability as she is very focused on whoever is handling her, takes to training easily, and is absolutely driven to find game. Gunner's test scores in tracking and use of nose demonstrates these abilities, and she also possesses a natural temperament that is required in our dogs. Gunner knows when to turn on her drive as well as when to settle down in the house or kennel. Gunner has been a joy to train as she is very intelligent, wise in use of nose, has proven stamina, and is atentative to the hunter. Gunner is experienced in hunting rabbits, waterfowl, pheasants, and quail, and she has proven to be versatile in blood tracking.

Citori will be arriving at our kennel shortly. Our good friends, Jan and Terry Huebbe, will be entrusting her care to us while we prepare her for the VJP test next Spring and the HZP test next Fall. Citori is from a litter of Vicki vom Hedgerow and Mento Vom Schinkelberg. We are excited about this opportunity to continue perfecting our skills as dog trainers and handlers, and we wish to extend a large "Thank You" to Jan and Terry. Check back for updates on Citori's progress.

Yessi - (Yessi vom Hedge Row)

Yessi was our first Drahthaar, and she was a result of the vom Hedge Row kennels 30 plus years of breeding. We found her to be a high powered dog that would literally hunt until her legs fell off. Unfortunately, Yessi was not blessed with facial furnishings (beard). As a result, we made the tough decision to sell her as she would not fit into a responsible breeding program. We owe a debt of gratitude to Dan Hoeper for breeding such a fine dog as Yessi. If not for Yessi, we would not have discovered everything this breed is capable of. Yessi is currently living in Texas and hunting in Kansas where she is enjoying locating, pointing, and retrieving upland game as well as waterfowl and fur with her new owner.
