Started dogs are usually younger dogs that have a fundamental start in the field. These dogs have basic “on-lead” obedience training. They quarter in the hunting field, turn on the whistle to establish a set natural range and find, flush and chase game. They have been introduced to the gun and retrieve shot game to hand. Most dogs in this class have been introduced to basic swimming as well. These dogs are not steady to wing or shot and have no training in handling blind retrieves. The training work for these dogs is started on pigeons. Most will have some exposure to chukars and/or pheasants prior to sale. These dogs are a “ready to go” hunting companion at a reasonable investment.
If you were frustrated last season by not having a dog at your side, look no further. Feel free to contact us in regards to any of the following dogs. Please note that these started dogs will move up to the Finished Dog and Field Trial Dog pages as training progresses. Please check these pages to see other dogs that may be available. A deposit can “hold” your dream dog for you while training continues.
