We started our kennel in 1996, located in Colorado. We first heard of Pointing Labradors in 1997, when we acquired a son of Sir Hershey. After learning more about Pointing Labradors, we decided that we wanted to get more serious about breeding. We then began to put together a breeding program, as we acquired dog’s with exceptional pedigree’s.
In 1999, we moved from Colorado to Indiana. After our move, we decided that we were going to run our dogs in both AKC and APLA events. We now try to put both AKC and APLA titles on all of our breeding dogs. Tim and Charity have both individually trained and titled APLA Master Pointing Retrievers and AKC Senior Hunters! We have both also begun judging all stakes of APLA hunt tests. We have learned so much from the people who share the interest in the dogs, and from the dogs themselves. We have educated ourselves in training, breeding, pedigree’s, and experience.
The beginning of 2006, we once again experienced a move. Tim’s work transferred him to Georgia. Tim went to Georgia to begin work in February, and to begin looking for a place for our family and kennel. Once we found a house, Tim began work of preparing a kennel for the dogs. From February until August of 2006, Charity and the boys stayed in South Dakota with family. The majority of the dogs (and our other animals!) also resided in South Dakota during this time. In August of 2006, Charity and the South Dakota crew made the trip down to Georgia.
In March of 2007, Tim was transferred to Wisconsin. Charity, the boys and most of the dogs stayed in Georgia while we were selling the house. We made the move to Wisconsin the beginning of October. We stayed in a rental while we looked for the right home for our family and our dogs. A year after Tim started work in Wisconsin, we have finally moved into our new home! We have 20 acres to play and train dogs on, which also includes a 3-4 acre pond! We look forward to getting back to the training and hunt test game with our dogs, not to mention hunting!
