“ALLIE” - STANDING STONES QUICK DRAW MH - RETIRED
Add to her excellent temperament and disposition, her incredible natural ability in the field, and her determination; she really is an all-in-one dog! Since she was a little puppy, she has been pointing birds, swimming for retrieves, backing naturally, and helping guide bird hunts!
“ARLO” - DC GAMBLE'S LOW COUNTRY BLUES MAN SH
Arlo produced a very nice litter when we bred him to Mako. We are excited to utilize him as a stud dog again with Muddy as there is a strong genetic relationship between Arlo and Benny, whom we previously bred to Muddy which produced our male, Thunder.
“BENNY” - DC INT CH RU AKC Nat'l WGDC Gambles Benny the Jet MH VCX
Benny produced a very nice litter when we bred him to Muddy. We are excited to utilize him as a stud dog again with Hazel as there is a strong genetic relationship between Muddy and Hazel, as they are full sisters from different Grit x Vex litters. When we previously bred Benny to Muddy we produced our male, Thunder.
Benny has a very impressive parentage:
Benny’s Sire: Sire: DC/AFC/ 3x NSTRA CH Gamble's Odyssey Fritz MH RD VCX F-ROMX
Benny’s Dam: Razorhaven's Sundance Maggie
~Owned by Rick Hopkins, Walnut Hill Kennel
“BREEZY” - STANDING STONES PRAIRIE STORM UT-2 - RETIRED
Breezy is the definition of a light switch dog. She is hard-charging all day in any cover type, yet at home, you’ll forget she’s there until she sneaks onto the couch to cuddle with you!
"CALI" - JOHNS CALI GIRL MH - DECEASED
Cali was a great bird finder with an excellent nose. She backed naturally with style and was a closer working dog that felt comfortable ranging between 30 and 50 yards. Cali loved to swim and was an amphibious retriever whether she was retrieving ducks or bumpers.
“CASS” - STANDING STONES EL TESORO DEVIL IN DISGUISE
Though we lovingly refer to this guy as Casserole on account of his puppy name from our Thanksgiving litter, he definitely has more class than that! He is a sharp looking dude with the intensity of his dad Thundery, but the sweet and easy going temperament of his momma, Hazel. He has hunted multiple seasons in South Dakota and quickly became one of the top dogs on Ethan’s guide string, not only on pheasants but also on prairie grouse.
“CASSIE" - STANDING STONES CALI’S SUCCESSION
When we do frozen breedings we are always hoping to produce something special, and with Cassie that’s exactly what happened. The combination of her momma, Hazel to our retired male, Shooter, got us exactly what we were looking for. She reminds us so much of Shooter’s momma, Cali. Cali was one of our foundation females and rightfully so as she produced both Shooter and Maggie, who themselves produced other exceptional dogs in our breeding program like Shock, Breezy, and now Cassie! It’s truly a blessing to see how the dogs of our past are still present in the dogs of our future!
“CHIEF” - ASPEN HILL STANDING INVICTUS ONE MH UT-1
Chief’s work ethic, desire, and fun-loving attitude leads to memorable days in the field, whether you are training, testing, or hunting. His enthusiasm and gregarious personality make each hunt that much more enjoyable and rewarding.
“DOC” - CH ASPEN HILL SAY WHEN MH
He is the dog that most dream to own, but few ever get the chance. His calm demeanor, human-like intelligence, stable temperament, and affectionate personality only scratch the surface of his positive traits.
“DOC” - STANDING STONES EL TESORO MEDICINE MAN MH UT-1
This young dog is an old soul. His calm, gentle disposition and incredibly sweet personality is offset by his fire in the field.
“DUAL" - STANDING STONES EL TESORO TWICE THE TROUBLE NA-II
Dual is exactly what her name suggests—the best of both worlds. She takes some of the pieces we love most about Quest and combines them with some of the pieces that makes Chief such an exceptional dog and brings them together in a very balanced, natural way.
From Quest, she inherits her calm, gentle nature in the house along with that easy livability we appreciate day to day. Quest has always been sweet and quiet at home, while still carrying a playful personality and an all-business attitude in the upland field. Dual mirrors that well, showing the same steadiness, stoicism, and staunchness on birds, paired with a temperament that makes her easy to live with.
From Chief, she picks up her drive and power. Chief is known for his versatility—equally at home in the duck blind as he is pointing and retrieving upland birds. Dual carries that same desire and work ethic, just in a slightly smaller package. She brings energy and purpose to everything she does in the field.
“DUSKY" - STANDING STONES BABY SHARK NA-1
Dusky maybe the baby shark to her momma Mako who is a land shark, but that comparison only holds true to her size. She may be a bit smaller in stature, but she is far from lacking when it comes to ability. She brings that natural ability to the field, paired with the intensity of her momma and she will put on quite a show. If a you think she’s impressive in her bio photo you should see her in motion, working and hunting!
"EAST" - STANDING STONES EL TESORO SUNRISE MH UT-1
East is such a fun dog! Anyone who meets him can’t help but love him! He is a natural bird dog with a loooonnggg nose that he gets from his grandpa, Shooter. He backs with as much intensity as he points! He is a water and retrieving machine which he gets from his daddy, Thunder.
“GIDGET” - FEATHER HILLS GO GO GIDGET MH - RETIRED
Gidgie’s puppies all have her spunky personality and field hunting style as well as her incredible natural retrieving drive. We can’t wait to continue her training and see where this fun-loving, get-up-and-go little girl will take us!
“GRIT” - BLACKRIDGE KICKIN UP DUST MH - DECEASED
Grit has been guiding hunts since she was 6 months old. And even though she was just a puppy, she didn’t hunt like a puppy! She put some of the older, more seasoned dogs we hunted with that year to shame, finding and pointing tons of roosters and making some impressive retrieves!
“GUNNER” - STANDING STONES SHOOTIN IT DOWN MH (FROZEN SEMEN ONLY)
Gunner is all business with a no BS attitude. It will be hard to find a dog with as much drive and work ethic as him. This is a dog that will hunt all day and never give up. He has that big motor every bird hunter is looking for and will eat up ground or water quickly.
“HAZEL” - STANDING STONES HAZEL THE HUNTRESS MH UT-II
This young lady is a huntress for sure! Hazel is a medium size female weighing 50lbs and she packs that 50 pounds full of style and intensity on point and a sweet disposition in the house!
“HENRY” - Top Gun Sir Henry MH
Henry had a great balance of desire and cooperation within a very athletic, strong 60-pound package. He carried forward the traits his sire brought to our breeding program. Henry reached his AKC Master Hunt test title passing 100% of his legs at a young age with average scores of 8.56. This achievement makes a complete 3 generation of AKC Master Hunt test titles in his pedigree. Henry earned the GSPCA 2011 Hunt Test Sire of the Year with his half-sister Princes Di the same year.
“HEX” - STANDING STONES DOUBLE TROUBLE - RETIRED
We’ve often said that Hex is an old soul. What do we mean by that? Well since he was a very young puppy he has always just had a more calm, sweet and relaxed demeanor in the house. He comes inside, and immediately lays down on his dog bed (or next to his dog bed) and behaves like a good boy. This kind of behavior is much more inline with an old, sugar faced, senior dog, than a young, energetic GSP.
“LEGACY” - STANDING STONES ASKING FOR TROUBLE - DECEASED
Little Legacy sure takes after her momma, Quest. She is so sweet and cuddly in the house and so steady and solid in the field. She also is quite the looker and turns heads everywhere she goes! As a puppy she had a spicy and sassy personality, but really matured into a sweet, calm, quiet and well mannered dog! She adds a lot to the table and we are excited to see how her puppies add to the legacy we are building at Standing Stone Kennels.
