Bearpoint Kennel - References

Hello Dale and Brenda,

Wanted to drop a quick note and tell you how overly pleased I am with CPR Scott's Razmataz of Bearpoint!

He has been fun to train...he has allot of fire...wants to retrieve everything...all the time! Great point, pretty good marker...very nice all-around gun dog. He nailed his CPR in Illinois last weekend...couldn't make it to a test for him last year or had it sooner. I think he scored 31 of 35 points.....we also had him hold point for longer than the 5 second minimum....for future training. He will run 3 weekends straight in NAHRA....needs one more pass for his SR...then will test for WR......and maybe MHR in future. He has been blessed with Excellent Hips, Clear eyes, and is CNM clear also. If he spent some time with you guys and had advanced pointing training....I think he could become a GMPR....he has SH retrieving skills and runs pretty consistent 100-125 yard blinds....land and water..so I think he could get there. My kids are where my money is going right now....they are 16-13-and 9. It is my dream in the future, though! I would love it if you wanted to use Taz as a reference for your kennel. If a guy like me can get a dog like this to do the things I need done for hunting and some hunt testing....it must be "The Dog!!!!" Good luck on your new training adventure.

Thanks again,

Scott Kemble

Hi Dale, Brenda,

Hope all is well up at Bearpoint. Here is a pic of Kaia, our 10 month Jake/Shilo pup, scanning the sky on a recent duck hunt. She saved the day for my friend Bob, finding two cripples for him that had swam off 25 and 40 yards from their drop mark in the flooded fields. The first had buried itself in a thick patch of reeds and the other, a drake pintail, was just moving on out. It was pretty amazing how she tracked them through the water and reeds. We had no idea where they had gone and without Kaia they would have been lost for sure. She retrieved six ducks that day, the last couple to hand. Needless to say I am pretty proud of our girl.

Best,

Dale and Brenda,

Just wanted to give you an update (and an additional thank you to Dale) on Kobe (Maggie/Hawk puppy). I just got back this evening from a preserve hunt (just the two of us) with five pheasants - all scratch birds located in about an hour by this pup. I actually had points on all the birds and three of the five were delivered at heel/sit and held until told to drop. This pup has responded to force fetch in an unbelievable (I feel) short time thanks to your advice Dale. He was grabbing for the bumper by the third night of pressure. Continuing to work him on this but seems to pick up on everything very quickly.

I am very impressed with him as a family dog as well. He loves the kids, won't let the youngest (age2) out of his sight. Is very well mannered, and now loves it because he is free from his crate at night. I catch him now lying on his back, spread eagle, sound to sleep.

Thank you once again for your quaility dogs! I know you like input on your sold puppies -- I cannot say enough!

Hello Dale and Brenda,
I have to say we LOVE Winchester. What a perfect pick. He is laid back but energetic and interested. Believe it or not he is "stalking" in the weeds (stalking the boys) and he knows how to sit and speak and is working on stay. He fetches and "gives" most of the time. His potty training is successful and his crate is his friend. Thank you and we really love having him. He seems well adjusted and happy.

Hi Dale, and Brenda,
Just wanted to say hello and tell you what wonderful instincts the puppy I bought from you in early June has. I returned from a pheasant a grouse hunt up in northeast Montana yesterday afternoon. I took my puppy who I had primarily been doing obedience work with. He has been on scent and has done some field work but mainly just working on listening to me. I hunted for 3 days and by the last day he was pointing and then making the retrieve. It really did not matter if I got a limit or not just watching him work made the trip.

I think that one of my friends that witnessed these talents will be in contact after the first of the year for his new puppy.

Sincerely,
Alan Gillespie

Hi Dale & Brenda,
Thanks for the info. Trust that you are all well. "Belle" is growing like a weed and has adapted very well. She is one smart pup and loyal as can be. Man oh man, she has some of the sharpest teeth this side of the continental divide too! She definitely shows a great combo of courage, curiosity, intelligence, responsiveness, teachablity and good old playfulness! Now if only I can catch up to and stay on track with her. Please say hi to Brenda. We sure appreciate the time you've spent with us and hope there will be some opportunities to learn from your training experience.
