Retired Dogs

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!

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 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.

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 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!

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.

Maggie is not just an exceptional hunting dog. She is a love bug in the house and loves for you to save her a spot on the couch or in the bed to cuddle overnight. She sure makes a great foot warmer! This love for her people makes her a great friend to little kids, and a good watchdog. Maggie is one of our foundation females but is now retired.

Mako inherited her momma, Timber’s wonderful personality. She is easygoing in the house and will playfully let you know when she’s feeling spunky! Mako’s second favorite place to be is on the couch next to you and she will melt into your arms. Mako’s tracking ability in the field is second to none and has multiple 400 yard plus wounded rooster recoveries.

Mandi is a hard worker and her determination makes her a dog you can keep on the ground and hunt all day long, or train tirelessly in the off-season. She has a nice foot-hunting range and covers ground well, which makes her a joy to hunt behind! Mandi is one of our foundation females but is now retired.

Muddy has been such an impressive dog ever since we picked her out of Grit's first litter! She has always been so sweet and well-behaved in the house! Even as a little puppy we were impressed with her livability!

You can’t help but say “wow” when you look at Piper! She is one big, beautiful girl! Not only is she pretty looking she is pretty on point and has style for miles. She definitely is on the bigger side for a female and she’s got a big ole’ head and often gets mistaken for a male if she isn’t wearing a pink collar!

Quest is a sweet girl with a softer personality. She is extremely natural and exceedingly trainable. She’s easy peasy in the house and sweet as pie with other dogs, puppies, and our son! This girl is special, and we expect great things out of her and her puppies for years to come.

Snap is our light switch dog. When she’s in the house she is off. When she’s in the field she is on. This incredible combination of a lazy, couch potato that will sleep through the morning alarm and a hard-charging, field and duck hunting machine is what makes Snap so special.

Tailor is one heck of a bird dog. 

What does it take to make a true bird dog?

Style, Intensity, Bird Sense, Natural Steadiness and Retrieving Drive! 

Her style and intensity on point is off the charts!

She has Natural Bird Sense and has hunted huns, sharptails and pheasants in North Dakota, pheasants and prairie grouse in South Dakota, pheasants and quail in Kansas and now she is down in Texas on more quail!

She was early to mature and has so much natural steadiness that she developed quickly and was able to start guiding at the El Tesoro Ranch steady to wing, shot and fall this season!

Plus she loves to retrieve!

Vino has just gotten “sweeter with time”. She has always been easy in the house, even as a puppy. Now she’s even sweeter. Vino is one of our foundation females but is now retired.
