Started Dogs 6 – 12 months starting at $5,000
Started Dogs from Northwoods Bird Dogs have received the finest early development possible. Through a consistent routine of bird exposure and mental and physical stimulation, a critical foundation has been created that prepares the dog for future work. Started Dogs are trained to handle in the field and are accustomed to ecollar corrections. They have been introduced to basic obedience commands such as Here, Kennel and Quit. They will have spent a winter working wild bobwhite quail in Georgia and depending on their age, may have had exposure to hunting for ruffed grouse and woodcock or other wild birds.
Trained Dogs 12 months – 2 years starting at $7,500
In addition to the development of Started Dogs, Trained Dogs have completed their training on pigeons and/or liberated quail. They hold point until the shot is fired, back another dog on point, stop to flush, hunt for dead birds and handle in control. Some might retrieve, either naturally or trained. Trained Dogs have completed obedience work and been finished with the ecollar. They are ready to go hunting and to apply their training to ruffed grouse and other wild birds.Seasoned Dogs 2 years + Contact us
