I have been
hunting birds in
Missouri and
Kansas for over
forty years.
During this time
I have owned
"most productive
of good :
offering or
producing the
greatest
advantage,
utility, or
satisfaction."--
This is the
definition of
the word "best,"
and the next
time I look for
this word in
Webster, I
expect to see a
8x10 picture of
John prince.
This is my
story. At
the end of last
year's pheasant
season I lost my
best friend, a
German Shorthair
Pointer named
Streaker, a
grandson to
John's best
friend Sauly.
I'm sure most
bird hunters
know what it is
like to lose a
bird finding
machine, I was
devastated. I
knew the
following season
was coming, so I
didn't want to
waist much time,
because I wanted
to have that
felling of
having the best
again. I really
didn't know
where to look,
but I began my
search for a new
puppy so that I
can at the least
have it started
for the
beginning of
pheasant, and
quail season. I
ended up with a
hustler pup I
named Zek.
Zek was a lot
different than I
was used to in
every way, he
always wanted to
be under my
feet, not easily
excited, in
other word, a
big lazy puppy,
and I was
getting nervous.
I thought I had
bought a slug. I
knew now I was
going to need
some help with
this one.
Surfing the net,
I found Prince
Quality Gun
Dogs, and after
talking to John
for the first
time for over a
hour I new who
going to train
my new slug.
John was very
knowledgeable
about the breed,
and explain to
me what type of
pup I had
purchased. When
Zek was five
months old I
took him to
visit John, just
to get him
acclimated to
birds. John only
wanted to keep
him for three
weeks, and we
would start the
second leg of
training when
Zek reached 8-9
months old. When
we got to
Pittsburg, KS
John wanted to
spend some time
with Zek just to
see what he was
like, and after
a little
examination, we
found out that
Zek had a lazy
point on point,
no bird drive,
in other words
big lazy puppy.
My head hanging
low, I jumped in
my truck and
headed west back
to Wichita.
Like I said
early in this
story, John only
wanted Zek for
three weeks, but
during these
three weeks we
had lots of rain
limiting the
time John had to
train. After the
three weeks was
up , I knew I
had to go get
Zek, so I jumped
in my truck and
headed east back
to Pittsburg.
What I saw with
my own eyes when
I got to
Pittsburg was
amazing Zek was
a totally
different
animal. In less
than three
weeks, because
of all the rain
remember, John
had that lazy
pup, here broke,
finding and
pointing his
birds with
intensity, and
30-40 water
retrieves. After
seeing that I
new I had found
my trainer for
life. This is
why I think John
Prince is the
best my eyes
have ever seen.

WOW!!!!!! I
could not be any
happier with my
new bird dog!!!
"Prince's 12
Gauge
Obsession."
Back around
February 2009 I
did some
research on
internet and
came across
Prince's Quality
Gun Dogs.
I called up and
talked with a
very nice man.
He introduced
himself as John
Prince. We
talked several
times. He
answered all my
questions and
talked with lots
of confidence in
his breed of
dogs.
Now, I wanted to
get a lot out of
a dog. I needed
to have one that
would work
fairly close,
would be great
around my
children, and
retrieve out of
water and
white/liver.
Anyway John was
very honest with
me. I live in
Maine and only
could talk with
him on phone and
trust that he
would be giving
me the right
dog. He told me
that he had the
right dog for me
and my family.
But One downfall
was that the dog
didn't really
like the water
that well. He
said he would
continue to work
him and try to
get him to
retrieve out of
water. Sure
enough two days
before my flight
he told me that
he had an extra
for me. My dog
was retrieving
to hand from
water. I set up
a flight for
July 26, 2009 to
come to Kansas
and pick up my
new dog. He told
me I could stay
at his home with
his family. This
was
unbelievable,
they didn't know
me from Adam.
When I arrived I
was treated
fabulous. We ate
very well. They
took me out to
some great
restaurants.
When I first met
Gauge, I
couldn't believe
how beautiful
and calm he was.
John showed me
everything this
dog could do. He
had him
pointing, whoa
broke,
retrieving to
hand every time.
When he took me
to his pond and
through a bird
out into the
water, Gauge
jumped in and
grabbed that
bird over and
over and over
and brought it
back to my hand
every time. It
was so awesome
to watch Gauge,
I could not be
any happier.
Thank You very
much John for
all your
hospitality and
hard work
training me the
perfect gun dog.
It was a
pleasure meeting
your helper Carl
and your family
and friends.

Gauge shows
he can retrieve ducks too! |
Recently I
purchased a
German Shorthair
named Daisy from
John Prince. I
talked to John
approx. 9 months
before we got
Daisy because
John wanted to
make sure she
was the right
dog for me and
my family. John
certainly got it
right, she is
everything that
I expected and
then some. When
I got her she
was whoa broke,
here broke,
crate broke,
points birds,
retrieves to
hand, not to
mention just a
great family dog
with a very calm
demeanor
(especially for
just 10 months).
I am waiting for
chukar but I
have shot
pigeons over
Daisy and she
was just
awesome! John
was honest and
definitely did
everything he
said he would
do. I would
recommend John
and his dogs to
anyone looking
for a bird dog
and a family dog
as well.

Daisy on a
pigeon retrieve |
My family and I
have owned
several
different breeds
of dogs over the
past 20 years.
After not having
a dog for over a
year, we decided
that we wanted
to find a good
quality hunting
dog/family pet.
I wanted to get
back into bird
hunting again
after a very
long hiatus.
Additionally, I
wanted to
introduce my
wife to the joy
and excitement
of hunting. We
did some
research and
decided that a
German Short
Hair Pointer was
the breed we
were most
interested in.
Not only are
they beautiful
dogs, but also
they are
renowned for
their
intelligence and
great hunting
ability.
Fortunately,
after doing some
extensive online
research (thank
goodness for the
internet!), we
came across the
web site for
Prince's Quality
Gun Dogs, owned
and operated by
John Prince. We
contacted John
and immediately
"hit it off"
with him. Not
only is John a
very nice and
friendly
individual, he
also possesses
an absolute
wealth of
knowledge in the
areas of
breeding and
training of GSPs.
Moreover, John
freely shares
his knowledge
and experience
in a way a
novice can
understand. Even
though John
lives a whole
state away (we
live in CO, John
lives in KS 700+
miles away) we
knew right away
that we wanted
to work with
John and buy one
of his
magnificent GSPs.
To illustrate
the type of
people that John
and Judy Prince
are, they
actually offered
us a room in
their home while
we were in town
meeting our new
pup and picking
John's brain.
That type of
thing just
doesn't happen
anymore!
Although we
shared numerous
emails and phone
conversations,
we really were
no more than
strangers. John
and Judy's
hospitality is
something my
wife and I will
never forget and
turned our time
there into a
mini-vacation.
The dog we
bought from John
has turned out
to be far more
than we had
hoped. He is not
only beautiful
and vastly
intelligent
compared to any
other breeds
we've been
around; he is
also a great
family pet too!
Our 10-year-old
son plays with
him for hours
until he becomes
too tired to
play anymore
(our son...not
Gunnar!). We
recently brought
Gunnie back to
John for
training. After
only spending
approximately
3-4 weeks
training him,
John told us he
was ready to be
picked up. We
spent another
mini-vacation at
John and Judy's
house and were
completely
floored when
John showed us
everything
Gunnie can now
do. He is
completely HERE
and WHOA broke.
He fetches to
hand every time
and he does
everything with
style and grace.
It's hard to
believe our pup
basically became
a full-fledged
hunting dog in
such a short
period of time.
We took Gunnie
out to the
hunting preserve
this weekend. I
purchased three
Chukars and
placed them in
the field.
Gunnie quickly
pointed all
three birds and
help point
without any
direction from
me. He also
fetched all
three birds with
very little
coaxing. We
wouldn't buy a
GSP from anyone
other than John
Prince! He is a
man of his word
and doesn't say
anything he
can't completely
back up. John
has my contact
information and
I have
instructed him
to provide to
anyone that may
have questions
about the
quality of his
GSPS, or his
training
abilities. If
you are looking
for the ideal
hunting
dog/family pet,
look no further
than Prince's
Quality Gun Dogs
and John Prince.

This testimonial
is way over due,
but better late
than never. I
purchased a male
GSP pup from
John over a year
ago, I had
called and
talked to John
many times, some
breeders just
run a puppy
factory, it is
my testimony
that John not
only knows what
his doing, he is
doing with the
right attitude
towards the
breed, and that
is to better it.
my pup is
everything John
told me it would
be and more,
this pup loves
to retrieve ALL
DAY LONG,
I have a pigeon
that I use to
train with, this
pup will
retrieve and
retrieve, that
same pigeon is
in my loft still
today and I
still train with
it, he has a
very soft mouth.
he is very
stylish on
point, head up,
12:00 tail. John
is the real deal
and so are his
dog's. John I'm
sorry it took me
so long to send
this, the only
other thing I
could ask, if
you would send
some brids out
here to Utah we
have NONE!!!!!!
thanks for
everthing.

My name is Ryan
Warden and last
spring I began
the search for a
GSP. I have a
guide service
"Misty Morning
Outfitters, LLC"
and we were
going to start
guiding upland
game very heavy
the next fall. I
called Prince's
Quality Gun Dogs
to see if he had
a started pup
with the idea it
may be old
enough to
perform "ok" the
first season. He
talked me into a
pup that was not
going to be born
for another two
months. I was
very nervous but
was assured the
dog would out
perform veterans
in the same
field the first
season. The dog
was going to be
5-6 months
opening weekend
but I bought it
anyway. I was
also told the
dog would
naturally
retrieve also.
Ha! This guy is
really talking
these dogs up
and they are not
even born. Oh
well I thought I
will do it if
the dog is bad
the first season
I would have an
excuse since he
was going to be
so young. I
drove to pick
out my pup and
it was hard they
all looked good
and pointed
quail he had on
the site. They
all will pretty
much do that so
big deal I
thought. I left
with the dog and
worked with him
twice a week in
the back yard
sometimes not
even that much.
I was stressing
I had no time to
teach this dog
anything and it
was going to be
a train wreck
and partially my
fault. Two weeks
before season I
put him on live
birds that were
planted. The
first one he
pointed hard at
20 yards. I
thought no way.
The points only
got better and
harder and about
ten gun shots,
four pigeons,
and two
retrieving
sessions later
it was opening
weekend. Oh crap
I thought we are
not ready but is
showing hope.
Opening weekend
on a controlled
shooting area he
pointed, held
the point, and
retrieved 211
birds. Not
directly to my
hand on the
retrieves but
ran around with
it til' he got
close enough.
Not a hard mouth
just proud of
our work. He
could barely get
those roosters
in his mouth. We
completed a
season and by
the time he was
6 and half
months old
people were
offering to buy
him, wanting to
breed him, and
joking about
taking him when
they left. It
was no joke now
this dog was a
machine.
Retrieving
strait to hand
holding points
while we shot
birds that other
dogs were
pointing the
whole nine
yards. And as
far as out
hunting
veterans. Made
people talk
about getting
rid of there dog
and getting one
like mine. John
made big
promises, really
big I thought at
sometimes, but
every one was
true. One was
that anyone that
buys a dog from
him always buys
a second one. I
hated GSP but
now I love them
and take him
everywhere with
me. I just
purchased a
second dog from
him in the last
week here. Don't
hesitate when it
comes to buying
a GSP pup from
John Prince. He
will treat you
better then
right and his
dogs will do
better then
great. I had no
desire to get a
second dog so
quick but with
the first one
being such low
maintenance I
can run a second
one really easy.
My dogs name is
"Todd" and I
should have
called something
more flashy for
such an awesome
dog. Don't
hesitate John
will promise you
won't regret it
and so will I
now. Thanks
John!

I purchased my
gun dog - Cash -
back in
September at 9
weeks old. John
was great at
having multiple
discussions with
me to ensure
that he knew the
kind of dog I
was looking for.
You could
immediately tell
how professional
and serious he
was about
breeding and
selling a
quality dog.
When I got my
puppy, he was
immediately able
to point and
retrieve. By 5
months of age,
he was able to
point and
retrieve many
birds during one
hunt. He has a
great
personality, is
very
focused/attentive
and extremely
trainable - both
in hunting and
non-hunting
tasks. John has
been great to
work with and
has made this a
super
experience. He
delivers
everything he
says he will in
the quality of
puppy you
receive. He is
always willing
to help and
sticks to his
word.

I found John via
his website
while looking
for a shorthair
pup. I called
John and visited
for quite awhile
about pups.
What I like
about John is he
took the time to
answer all my
questions and it
was like talking
to someone I've
known all my
life. I went
down to Johns
place to look at
some dogs and I
was amazed at
what I saw with
a 5 month old
pup he had been
training. He
worked better
than most of the
broke dogs I've
hunted over. I
had never bought
a dog in my life
and wasn't sure
I wanted to. But
he had a 3 month
old female that
I really liked
that he hadn't
done anything
with yet. I
ended up leaving
with out buying
a pup but just
couldn't take it
I had to have it
so I called John
up and told him
I would take
her. I was
scared I
wouldn't be able
to train it but
to my surprise
this pup had
more natural
ability than I
ever will have
trainer in me.
She is so smart
with a few phone
calls to John I
had her whoa
broke and her
first time out
she pointed
pigeons like a
champ I was so
amazed I went
home got my
video camera and
started shooting
because I knew
no one was going
to believe me
they are on
YouTube if you
want to see them
type in
kcbirddog in
search there are
4 or 5 videos
showing her
first 3 or 4
times out. Last
week I took her
to a BDC
tournament
hunter event and
entered her in
top gun puppy
class and the
amateur division
she won the
puppy class and
finished 3rd in
amateur because
of my shooting
skills. I cost
her 1st in that
division. She
was the youngest
dog there at 6
months all the
other dogs in
puppy class were
1 1/2 to 2 years
old. She's
also a great
family dog she
stays in the
house most of
the time with
are 2
Chihuahuas.
Needless to say
I would buy
another dog from
John in a heart
beat best money
I ever spent.
Thanks John for
all your help
and a Great Dog.

I contacted John
when I saw his
ad on the
internet and
talked to him
about his
kennel. We
discussed what I
required in a
dog. John was
very informative
and I felt very
comfortable
talking with
him. My
requirements
were that the
dog work closely
( I'm 61 years
old), retrieve
in water, was
calm and that it
would also be
part of the
family. John
assured me his
dogs do all of
this and more. I
ordered a pup
sight unseen and
not yet born.
John called me
after the pup
(Katy) was born
and kept me up
to date with her
progress. At 4
1/2 months he
sent me a
picture of her
retrieving in
water. I was so
impressed I
decided to visit
John and have
him train my
other shorthair
(Rowdy was a 1
year old male
house/backyard
dog). I left
Rowdy and
returned 2
months later
after another
2000 mile round
trip from
Arizona to work
with John and
bring the dogs
home. Both of
the dogs were
holding their
points, were
whoa broke and
retrieving in
water. Katy and
Rowdy get along
well with our 3
yorkies. Yes,
they both use
the yorky doggie
door! I see many
years of
enjoyable
hunting with my
dogs now. I
highly recommend
John.

Hey John,
Coosa is the
best dog I have
ever had!!!! he
is all
natural and is
already out
hunting dogs
that are 2 and 3
years old. he is
whoa broke,
retrieves (land
and water) to
hand, he has
never even
busted a
bird yet, is
here broke and
doesn't even
wear a shock
collar anymore.
He
never really
needed any
"training" he
was just that
natural. we let
him
hunt on a quail
preserve with
this guy who had
GSP that were 1
and 2 years
old and he had
to leave them on
a leash b/c they
kept busting
birds.
Coosa held one
bird for over 15
min and he was
only 7 months at
the time.
He is awesome.
he has also
turned into a
beautiful dog.
everyone wants
to buy him from
me. I always
give them your
number. cant
wait to keep
hunting him. all
i can say is
thank you, thank
you, thank

I was doing some
research for my
next GSP when I
found John’s web
site. I was
looking for a
started dog and
John was
advertising one
on his website
in my price
range. I called
John and after
spending an hour
on the phone
with him, I
decided to set
up a visit to
see the dog.
Unfortunately, I
wasn’t able to
make the long
drive so we
continued to
talk about what
I was looking
for, how I hunt
and what I need
in a dog. John
was very
knowledgeable,
thorough and
honest. After
talking for
another hour on
the phone we
mutually decided
that this was
not the right
dog for me and
my young family.
I was impressed
with John’s
honesty and
integrity. I
asked John if he
could recommend
any other
kennels. He
said, “give me a
couple of days”
and he would
call me back.
Well, thinking
that I would
never here from
John again I
started calling
around. I had
actually worked
out a deal with
a different
kennel when John
called me back.
John told me
about Ted Myer
of VZ Kennels in
Ohio. He said he
had bought a
female from Ted
earlier that
year and he was
really impressed
with her. Ted
had two males
left (at that
point they were
already 7 months
old). John
thought either
one of these two
dogs would be
exactly what I
was looking for.
John explained
that it’s
difficult to
find a started
dog in my price
range but buying
this little
older pup and
letting John do
the training
would be the
best way for me
to get what I
was looking for.
So, I called Ted
and after
working out a
deal to buy Tank
from Ted, John
and I arranged
to have Tank
sent to him for
training. John
and I talked
every week
during the
training and he
was gracious
enough to take
time out of his
busy schedule to
talk to me every
time I called
looking for an
update on Tank.
When Tank’s
training was
complete I
anxiously made
the trip to
Kansas. I was
thoroughly
impressed with
Tank and he
continues to
live up to
everything John
promised….and
more! Tank is a
quality bred dog
with great
genetic
background, not
to mention
fantastically
trained.
My experience
with John has
been fantastic!
I had never
bought a dog
unseen before
but John and Ted
of VZ Kennels
made this a
great experience
for me and my
family. I would
recommend John
and Ted to
anybody! Thanks
again for
everything.
Thanks

I have been
hunting birds in
Missouri and
Kansas for over
forty years.
During this time
I have owned
several dogs of
various breeds,
some good and
some not so
good. I
currently have
two GSP’s that
are reaching the
end of their
hunting days. I
have been
looking for over
two years for
the dog to
replace my old
dogs. I have
looked at many
web sites and
talked to
different
breeders in the
process of
trying to decide
on my next dog.
After reading
about John
Prince’s
operation and
dogs, I was
intrigued, could
this man be
true? Were his
dogs as good as
reported? I
called and
talked to John
extensively
about his dogs
and my needs.
Eventually, over
the phone, I
agree to
purchase an
eleven month old
dog that John
had been working
with. We
arranged a time
for me to look
at the dog and
pick him up. I
traveled to
Kansas and
watched John
work “Jake” my
next star. He
was all that
John described
and more. I also
had the
opportunity to
look at some of
John’s other
young puppies
that were doing
amazing things
for their age. I
recommend John
Prince and his
kennel to anyone
looking for a
quality GSP that
will start early
and will be easy
to handle. If
something
happens to one
of my older
dogs, I know
where I will go
to get a new
pup. I am
excited about
the prospects of
this season and
the opportunity
to get Jake into
a lot of birds.
Please feel free
to contact me if
you have
questions about
my experience
with John.

I bought a pup
here in Ohio and
wanted to get
him trained, so
I started
looking and
calling and
E-Mailing
kennels to see
what I could get
going. So after
contact after
contact I ran
across John's
add and gave him
a call. I read
his
Testimonials,
talked to him on
the phone and
decided to send
my pup to him
and have him
trained. Well
after 8 weeks
and my pup only
being 8 months
of age he said
he was done and
ready to go
home. That being
said I had to
wait a couple of
weeks to get
time off from
work to go and
pick him up.
John told me
that was fine
and he would
keep the pup for
no extra
charge....Now
who would do
that right. So I
went and picked
my pup up and he
showed me just
how trained my
pup was. Here
Broke,Whoa Broke
you could put a

Naturally. So as
you can tell it
has been a
pleasure to deal
with John and
the results were
great and now I
have a pup to

many years.

I must share my
experience with
all gun dog
owners and
especially and
one looking for
not just a
hunting dog but
a superior
hunting partner
for many years.
I came to know
John 9 months
ago during my
research to
purchase not
only my first
gun dog but a
family
companion. I
contacted John
and just wanted
some information
on him and his
kennels and the
dogs he
produces. John
spent several
hours on the
phone telling me
about himself,
his kennels and
more importantly
his positive
approach to
raising and
training
shorthairs.
During this time
John said to me
"Jack you are
welcome to come
to my home and
stay with me to
view the
parents, other
dogs and any
puppies you
wish" I was
absolutely
shocked beyond
belief. What
person this day
in age is
willing to open
up there home to
let someone they
had only spoken
to over the
phone come into
there home and
see first hand
there kennel
operation. I
quickly came to
think this is an
outstanding
person who is
not only
committed to
raising and
training great
gun dogs but
someone who
cared about
people and his
dogs along with
the individuals
new partner.
After picking
out a puppy from
John and not
being able to
travel due to
weather issues
we made
arrangements to
ship the dog
with John's
promise to
always be
available for
anything when
ever I needed
anything. My
female arrived
and I could not
have been more
pleased with
Casey. Well I
now need to
share as Casey
is 8 months old
I just got back
from taking John
up on his offer
to visit Kansas
and learn from
him but also
spend time as he
trained my pup.
I must admit in
my wildest
dreams what John
was able to do
with my pup in 2
short days was
the most
incredible dog
training one
could ever hope
for. You need to
see it to
believe it it
dang near was
the most
professional
training I have
ever seen. John
had Casey whoa
broke,
retrieving to
hand, handling
in the field and
not chasing
birds in the
short time. She
was performing
like a dream and
I could not be
more proud of
her but
astonished at
the mans
knowledge, help
and training but
his willingness
to not only work
with Casey but
also with me. I
was simply blown
away by the
accomplishments
of Casey and how
John's teaching
was 100%
positive with
her and the
field. She not
only has
continued on in
her success but
is a totally
more positive in
the house with
our young
children also.
The type of dog
John has is
about natural
ability and
positive with
outstanding
behavior and
temperament. I
can tell you
when you speak
to John there is
not a more
honest, real and
helpful person I
have ever meet
in my life. I
must say THANK
YOU JOHN PRINCE
for not only
providing me a
awesome dog for
years to come
but for your
help, teaching
and time to
visit with you
and stay in your
home but this
breeder is the
real deal and a
heck of a
person. I am
looking forward
to my future in
the field with
Casey and also
adding a future
shorthair to the
family but also
the friend I
have made. If
you should ever
desire to speak
to me call John
and he can get
you in touch
with me and I
will share more
positive
thoughts about
John and his
dogs. You need
to see his dogs
and the passion
he has not only
to produce a
great gun dog
but an awesome
gun dog. It
simply does not
get any better
than John and
the dogs he has
and produces.
Thanks a million
John for
everything.

I was looking on
the internet
when I came
across John's
site. I started
looking at it
and started
reading the
testimonials. So
I thought "too
good to be
true", boy was I
wrong. I called
John and it was
like I had known
him for years.
We talked about
the pups that he
had and the dogs
that were in his
kennel. I told
John that I
wanted a dog
that would work
close to me and
would not just
take off and
leave me behind.
John promised
that not only
would my dog be
everything I
wanted but more.
I could not wait
to see for
myself. One
month later I
went to go pick
up Gus. John
took me out and
showed me some
quick training
tips while we
were there. This
pup has been
everything and
more that John
promised. On the
500+ mile trip
home if Gus
wanted out of
the carrier to
do his business
he would just
give one little
wimper, pull
over get him out
does his
business and
back in the
carrier, no fuss
at all. This
happened all the
way home, 12
plus hours of
driving. I
brought him home
and had him on
pigeons the next
week. Gus was
pointing birds
from 15-20 feet
away. Solid
points tail up
and rock solid.
My buddy could
not believe it,
only 2 months
old and he was
out working dogs
that were 6
months old.
Everyone asks
where did you
get that dog,
and all I can
say is Prince's
Kennels. Gus is
now 7 months old
and has been
with me on
Pheasants and
quail, and NEVER
flinched when
fired over him.
I am so
impressed with
this pup that I
am already
planning my next
trip to Kansas
to see John
again.

After searching
the web a couple
of months for a
GSP puppy, my
nephew Greg told
me that I should
call John
Prince. In our
first phone
conversation I
told john that I
was looking for
an easily
trainable GSP
puppy that was
predominantly
white in color
with a solid
brown head and a
high tail. John
laughed and said
that if that was
all I wanted, he
could fix me up
as he had
several upcoming
litters.
The next time we
spoke, John said
that he had just
the puppy I was
looking for. I
purchased "Lola"
sight unseen.
When bird season
opened in
Southern
California, Lola
was just six
months old.
Since she would
respond to
"come", "Kennel"
and "whoa" on
command, my
nephew Greg and
I decided that
it was time to
take her
hunting. On her
first wild
chukar hunt,
Lola was the
first of our
four dogs to
point. She also
retrieved the
first chukar we
had shot. That
same week Lola
also pointed and
retrieved wild
quail. She is
not only quick
to learn, but
she is also the
best looking dog
on the block!
John Prince is
just a phone
call away and he
is always ready
to answer my
questions and
share training
tips. In
addition, he
calls me
periodically to
see how Lola is
coming along.
My nephew and I
are both
impressed with
John's concern
for his dogs
after they leave
the kennel.
