PRG Excellence, Lexi in action.

We have significant experience with proven results training hunting, hunt test, tournament shoots, and companion dogs and their handlers. Including the traditional continental pointing breeds, retrievers, flushers and pointing labs. While we specialize in PL's we have significant experience producing excellent results with the other dogs mentioned. In fact, all the photos and original oil paintings on the web site are of dogs we have trained. At PRG with have the expertise and experience to take retrievers, flushers, and pointing dogs to he highest levels desired by our clients. We have the titles and ribbons at the highest level to show you the results. Seems like trainers are popping up everywhere these days. Anyone can call themselves a trainer regardless of their training abilities or results. Do your homework. Give us a call and we may be able to help you sort through some of the stuff you may hear.

We offer breeding services from some of the very best bred quality animals in the country. All of our breeding animals have excellent to outstanding pedigrees. All of them are proven performers both in the field hunting and consistently come home with ribbons at hunt tests. We believe the differences will become obvious when you start looking at our animal's background, pedigrees and testimonials regarding trained dogs, pups and started dogs from their owners.

Our philosophy and approach to training is much more than just teaching dogs concepts that allows them to become well mannered companions, highly effective hunters, and bring home titles and ribbons from events. Actually, we are in the team building business. We teach people how to develop a productive working relationship with their dogs. A relationship of mutual respect and teamwork. We focus on how to communicate effectively with animals the way they do at their level. We teach people how to think and communicate like a dog. This is the key to producing superb performing dogs in the field. We teach owners how to instill and develop a healthy work ethic in their dog. How to create a success cycle by building confidence. Confidence in the dog to do the work as well as confidence in the trainer or handler to lead the team. We provide training that builds these teams and as a result allows owners and their dogs to have the type of experiences together that can provide great memories for a lifetime. After all that is really why we have dogs in the first place. The experiences we can share with them. Our training philosophy is one of several things that makes PRG different from other trainers and kennels. For more information about training take a peek at our training page. We also will work with you in evaluating your dog for training. Click on the link for more information about this service. We are not the new kid on the block. We have a proven track record with proven results at the highest levels.

We have the experience few trainers have. We've trained flushers, retrievers, pointers, and pointing labs. We have trained pointers and successfully ran these dogs in AKC and NAVHDA hunt tests. We have even put a retriever title our GSP G-Man in the HRC. We have titled retrievers and pointing labs at the highest levels in the AKC ,APLA and HRC. We have titled dogs in NAHRA as well. As we have said before anyone can talk about what they are going to do with their dogs. We produce the results that can be seen in the field and the ribbons and titles to back up what we say we can and will do!

We have a great deal of respect for these animals and a breeding philosophy we believe benefits the dogs we produce,the breed and ultimately owners of PRG dogs. Our primary goal is simple. To produce a better dog. One that has a pedigree second to none. One that has all the traits and abilities to make a superb hunting dog, competitive dog and outstanding companion. We feel that only emphasizing one trait of many that a good pointing lab, or any dog for that matter, has to offer is not the direction to go for us. Just as we wont breed just for color, we wont produce a dog with just enough qualities ( pointing ) to make a sell. One of the most desirable reasons to own a PL in our opinion is the unmatched versatility of the retrieving and pointing abilities. We would like to mention there are some very nice traditional pointing dogs out there. We own them ourselves and train them for clients. Just as there are misconceptions about PL's, there are also some misconceptions about pointers.

Any kennel can make claims about their dogs. All of our dogs have excellent pedigrees. We invite you to compare them to what other kennels offer. Of special interest take a look at the Our Competitors Dogs page. We think you will agree, you will see a difference. Pedigrees are just the starting point. All of our stud dogs and breeding females are hunted and have titles in several hunt test organizations. The AKC , HRC, APLA, NAHRA and NAVHDA. We refuse to compromise, as some breeders do, by putting a CP or JH title on females and just start cranking out the pups. We expect much more from our dogs because they are capable of much more. HR 4X GMPR Snake River Delta SH and HRCH 4X GMPR Bar None's Snake River Otter MH QAA , HR 4XGMPR Jesse James SH, HR GMPR OD's Cobra Jet Sally SH examples of this.

Our experience in seeing hundreds of dogs work and in training has taught us a great deal about what good dogs are and how to produce them. We can offer this experience to our clients and help them find what they are looking for. We are fortunate in that we usually have both the Sire and Dam of our puppies on site. You can come and see them as well as watch them work in many cases.

We have two excellent Stud dogs that are proven performers. Otter has a excellent reputation for consistently producing very nice dogs. His pups have achieved titles at the highest levels in virtually all hunt test organizations in many locations through out the country. His pedigree is very strong with predominately field trial dogs. Some of them known to be some of the best field trial dogs to run in the field. Jesse is developing quite a reputation as well. He produces strong pointers with field trial level marking. He and Sally has produced some of the most stylish pointing labs we have trained. Take another look at the photo of Lexi and you will see what we are talking about. With both Otter and Jesse there isn't the compromise that many breeders must except in their dog's ability regarding marking and pointing well. You don't have to take the risk of a stud dog that has not proven themselves as producers. The results are reasonably predictable with a PRG stud dog.

Another advantage PRG has is that we keep dogs from our breeding's for started dogs and for our breeding process. We produce and offer what we would own ourselves. In many cases you can see pups from a previous litter. We have a very good understanding of what our dogs produce because in several cases we have personally trained several generations in their pedigree. In fact in the 2007 fall Kansas test you could see three generations all perform and bring home CP APR and GMPR ribbons. We have spent the past twelve years developing the bloodlines and dogs we have to offer. We are producing high quality performance animals that have a lot of drive, are very birdie, mark excellent, are trainable, love water, are strong pointing dogs. They will excel at most any job you have for them to accomplish. There is more information about our dogs, started dogs and puppies in the web navigation bar.

One of the purposes of our web site is to try and help you deal with what can seem like a gauntlet of information regarding finding a pup, dog or pro trainer to meet your needs. We will provide you with the essential information about our training, pups, started dogs, and stud dogs. There is a FAQ page you can access through the training page that may be helpful for people interested in training. We take pride in our kennel and what we have to offer our clients. We have excellent references. Thank you for visiting PRG's web site and happy surfing.
