Jordan Valley. |

| Our
started prospects are handpicked from our breeding program to become part of our

don't qualify. Temperament must be rock solid. |
|

Started Dog is "bench trained" so that they will not drop birds
or training bumpers |
|
| Started dogs are usually
7 months old or older. |
| We orient each new owner so that you can get the most from your new partner!
The transition is a very important time and we support you through it. We
provide support over the lifetime of your dog. |
| We train each of our dogs to go to their "place". This is very handy
in the house when guests are present and you want the pup to stay put. |
How do you price your dogs?
| |
| Prices for Started Dogs vary depending on the level of training they have
received and other factors. By the time this dog is ready we have significant
number of hours of preparation
time invested in the pup. |
|
Maybe I should just buy a puppy?
We can set you up to do just that, however consider the following:
| Once you obtain a puppy, you are usually one year away from taking that dog
hunting. Our started dogs are ready to take hunting right away. |
| If sought, professional assistance is expensive. Most Professional Trainers require
$500+/month for their services. |
| The cost of food, shelter and veterinary during the first year can be
significant. |
| Your time - If you go it alone, plan on devoting over 100 hours to training,
conditioning and nurturing your new pup. |
