Your Drent and its AKC Registration

I have updated this article from the original post made in late 2020 to reflect current AKC policy. All of our puppies are sold with AKC registration, and starting in 2024, many of our puppies with be sold with NAVHDA registrations - as of today, we are still working through the nuts and bolts of the later registry so please forgive what may be perceived as a lack of commitment. ​“A dog registered with an AKC Limited Registration shall be ineligible to be entered in a breed competition in a licensed or member dog show. It is eligible, however, to be entered in any other licensed or membe ..read more

The expression of the Drentsche Patrijshond

by

The breed standard of the Drentsche Patrijshond doesn’t state it outright, but the Drent is a “head breed”. So, what does that mean, being a “head breed”? The details of the head are what defines a Drent. It is these details individually, and in summary that separates the Drent from the German Longhaired Pointer, Small Munsterlander, French Spaniel, or other somewhat similar white and brown piebald continental hunting dog from western Europe. Another element not mentioned in the breed standard that all true fanciers can and will go on and on about is the “expression of the Drent”. The expre ..read more

Arizona Wrap Up ‘23

​I made a social media post after the Mearns Quail opener where I opined about what was likely to be the worst season in fifteen years. Perhaps making such a statement was premature. The “heat dome” of 2023 that sat over the Southwest certainly had greater effect then I had realized. In my ignorance I was sure that because the Mearns Quail is considered to be a tropical bird, that the heat itself would have little to no effect on them. Well, I stand corrected. Fortunately, I am very mindful about being in a state of being able and willing to learn. ​I learned that temperatures in ..read more

What does an e-stim mean to your dog?
The Home of Quality Drentsche Patrijshonden

When I talk to handlers about what their e-collar stim means to their dog. I get the most interesting looks. Then I ask, so when your dog does X (undesired behavior) what are you going to do? The handler usually states, "light it up" or something along those lines. But why, I mean, does the dog know what being "lit up" means? Again, usually more puzzling looks. Using the e-collar like an electric "no" is just as ineffective as saying "no" to a dog. What is more effective then, you may be thinking? Well, instead of "no" try (if your dog has been taught the following cues), "off, down, leave it ..read more

High Desert Alpine Sage Grouse

Yes, you read that right. There are easier and far more typical places to hunt Sage Grouse, but when Dominic Bachman invites you to go hunting with him, you clear out your calendar to make it happen. Even more so when the hunt is in such a unique and challenging environment. This distinctive southeastern Oregon hunt must be applied for in advance, then if you are lucky enough to be chosen for this intense event, with less than a 10% chance of being drawn, you have to be prepared for high elevation. All the best hunting is right around 8,000 feet of elevation. The breath-taking views encompas ..read more

The TGK Montana Opener '23

​What a grand time we had! Now that is out of the way, I’ll share a few details with you. I took Powder and Rye on the paired down, lean camping trip for Sharptail and Hungarian Partridge in Northeastern Montana. These early season hunts have marked temperatures in the 90’s, which limits how long you can be out running dogs even more so than the relatively low limit on Sharptail. However, if your shooting is on point, your day can be closed out in a matter of minutes! We camped within a quarter of a mile of the Canadian border. With the windows on the truck canopy fully open to allow the bre ..read more

In memory of Fowler: 10 May 2010 - 26 April 2023 ​Since you are reading this, it is a safe bet we are back in cold, dark, and wet Spokane and we are no longer in the business of shoveling sunshine and hunting quail in the high desert. I could make this the shortest recap ever: we had a great trip. But then that isn’t a lot of fun now, is it? ​ A week prior to heading South for the big Pheonix dog show, Jenna had gone to Oregon to help our friend Stacey. It was an eventful stay, and to say the least, Stacey was helped, as was Mr. Kim & Laura. A made for TV drama if there ever was one. As a ..read more
