Augustus (Taz) impresses with his calm, serene attitude, and his family-friendly nature.  His choke bored nose is evident in the field while standing in front of game and is a natural backer.  He is very good with like species but has no compromise to predators.  Taz is comfortable and quiet in the house, kennel, or vehicle.  He is naturally social around humans, especially small children due to his excellent breeding with Bento v.d. Kopperberg and Dixie v. Speidel.  Taz works on a full-time hunting operation in Alabama over 100 days per year.  He completed his first Derby at 5 ½ months old with all 4s and was working in the hunting precinct at the same time as a guide dog.  He is an absolute joy to have around whether in the field or at home.

Grand Sire: Nick vom Sparta 0629/13 – D1, S1, LN, VBRN, HDA2, VGP, Fw: V

Arielle, aka call name “Betty” is a truly special dog. She is one of the most trusting and affectionate dogs I’ve ever met. Her desire to retrieve is unmatched by any of the other dogs I’ve ever worked with, whether mine or my clients. She has a beautiful field search, does well in the water, and just wants to cuddle in the house. Her natural abilities are something truly great….she passed the AZP without any training! Her prize 3 was based solely on natural ability. When the opportunity to acquire this girl came knocking, I jumped on it. She has a special match of bloodlines in her pedigree, her natural abilities are incredible, and her personality is very endearing. She has hunted quail, pheasant, ducks, coons, rabbits, and I’m told she has tracked some deer in her previous home. She received an SG rating in conformation but the judge said she should be a V. She had a broken leg when she was a pup and it didnt heal quite right – it’s not really visible unless youre looking for it, but she has just a tiny limp in that leg. The judge said if it wasn’t for that she’d be a high V dog. She’s a nice moderate size at 59cm, and well muscled.  I’m very thankful to have her as part of my crew. She’s quite the joy to hunt over and just a fun dog to have at home.

Achilles vom Texas

Grand Dam: Queen von Kings Crossing 0630/14 – D1, S1, Fw: V, HDA2, VGP

Grand Sire: Payton von Kings Crossing 0098/14 – D1, S1, Fw: V, HDA1, HN, VGP

Achilles is a nicely muscled, thick bodied and balanced male that is within the breed standard for height (65cm).  He has a lot of drive and endurance and has actively hunted a wide variety of game including wild pheasant, quail, prairie grouse, woodcock, ducks, doves, rabbits, raccoons, and blood tracked multiple deer. He nicely quarters a field and is a medium-range dog, and his water search is phenomenal –  he absolutely thrives in the water. He has on many occasions swam for several hours on his own accord, searching for anything to retrieve while I was out doing other chores, then would bring to me whatever he found even if i was nowhere near the water!  He is very much a companion-minded hunter. I would say retrieving is one of his stronger traits. In the house he is very relaxed and has never been a “chewer” – I could trust him even as a youngster to be in the house unattended. So many people have and continue to comment on how attractive he is as well. He truly is a well-balanced hunting and family dog. Achilles has had one litter so far.. most of them ran in their derby this spring and all got a P1 and were high SG ratings. The litter is very uniform and all are very affectionate, calm at home, and have a lot of drive. Most of them finished gunfire training in just one session. I anticipate similar results from this upcoming litter.

I expect this litter will have a ton of drive, will be truly versatile, have good conformation, good water and exceptional field dogs, and be great at home as well. Based on the parents, I’m expecting them to have a strong natural retrieve.

Andy vom Tekoa Mountain

ZB Nr. 0986/18; Gew. am:02.07.2018; Derby Prize 1 4H nose and search; AZP Prize 1; VGP Prize 1(306 points) 4H in search.;  HN; FW. “V”; 2022 Ehren President’s award for top VGP dog

Andy is an exceptional male Deutsch Kurzhaar with an intense and exuberant work ethic paired with the ability to turn it all off when he is in the home.  The combination of these two qualities makes him a pleasure to train and hunt behind, as well as live with. He has received a V rating and was described at the Zuchtschau as having a noble head, correct top and bottom lines, as well as a correct tail set and his pigmentation as dark. Standing at 65 centimeters tall and weighing 74 pounds, he is a perfectly sized male in both height and frame size.

Andy is extremely motivated to complete any task given to him, whether it be in the field, timber, or on the water. All while displaying great levels of cooperation and stamina. His ability to focus on a task and accept training is shown in his test scores. At his Derby, Andy received a Prize 1 with all 4s and two 4Hs in Nose and Search at just 8 months old.  His exceptional work was noted by the judges as “Wide search, textbook quartering, turning correctly into the wind, and search dominated by his nose”.  He also earned a Prize 1 (all 4s) at his AZP.  Andy’s work ethic and cooperation were once again displayed at his VGP test where he received a Prize 1 (306 points) with a 4H in Search. The judges’ remarks included- “The search was nose-driven, methodical, covering the field entirely leaving no area uncovered”. His high score accompanied by a 4H in Search earned him the 2022 Ehrens President’s award for highest scoring VGP dog.

Andy’s balance of natural abilities, biddability, desire to work, and the sought after “off switch” in the home is the complete package and it is what sets him apart from his peers.  However, I feel his greatest attribute is his fun-loving personality. His positive, high-spirited nature is truly contagious and a characteristic that is definitely unmatched.

He loves children, is very open-minded, problem-free and easy to handle. He always behaves calmly and exemplary towards his fellow dogs. In the field he shows a long-range search with very good use of the nose. He is extremely motivated on the water with great stamina and willingness to find things. When it comes to predatory game, he hunts very hard and uncompromisingly, which he has already proven several times on raccoons. On the blood trail he works extremely calmly and with concentration.

Her paws are tight and she stands on her toes looking elegant and proper.  Catja (Millie) has the temperament any person would desire. Her love to people and her desire to please brings success with hunting/social activities. She loves to retrieve marked game in the water and in the field.  A princess in nature, Millie has a calm disposition which is enjoyable in the home.  Millie has a very strong prey drive and is “hell on wheels” with game.  With her medium size she has wonderful endurance in the mountains chasing Dusky grouse all week long.  With her calm disposition, she is a delight with children being very tolerable.  As a mother she does not need to be separated from her pups even though she has the option because she is very loving.  Even during the “5-8 week period” she calmly corrects her puppies with excellent social skills all while never getting upset them.  Usually after a mild correction, her puppies realize they don’t want to challenge mama anymore because she will hold them down and let them know about manners.

Bree vom kleinen Fluss
ZB. Nr. 1243/17, DOB: 27/08/2017
D1, D2, S1 (search behind live duck 4h), SG, HD A1
63 cm ~ 65 lbs

Bree (aka Tracy) is liver roan, larger female, yet is still within the standard at 63 cm. She is equally happy to run all day in search of birds or spend the day on the couch in someone’s lap.

Tracy has never met another dog or person that she did not get along with. She is a very affectionate dog and was easy to train. Some of her strong attributes are, she has a very good nose, locating pheasants downed in a standing corn field without having seen the bird as she was in the truck.  She did her rabbit drag on a full speed run out and back never veering from the track. Her search desire for ducks was noted and rewarded with a 4H also at her Solms. Unfortunately, following her Solms test, Tracy was not able to continue her preparation for VGP as she had swallowed whole walnuts on 3 separate occasions requiring abdominal surgeries each time. The first time nearly took her life.

Tracy was not bred until she was 3 1/2 years old. This will be her third litter and we will be keeping a female pup from this pairing for a replacement female. The previous two breeding’s have produced some excellent dogs.  All the pups were very uniform in temperament and desire to please, high prey drive paired with a strong natural point, love of water, excellent work ethic and trainability. 

We do not breed often, typically only when we or a close friend want a puppy. This will be our eighth breeding in 18 years of owning DK’s.  Most of that time we have had 3 females on the place, never a male of our own. We feel this makes us search for the best stud dog that complements our female, instead of using a convenient male residing in the back yard. We feel we have found this with Tracy’s previous breeding with Charger and after seeing Bentley run his Derby and discussing his Solms with one of his judges and talking with Barry we feel this will be a great match.

At this time we are very excited to announce our intentions to do this pairing during Tracy’s next heat cycle anticipated in the first quarter of 2023, likely February.

She is slightly larger than many females (about 67lbs), and threw an excellent first litter. Piper has a sweet temperament until she is on game, then she flips the switch and becomes all business and aggressive. She was pointing and retrieving at 12 weeks of age. She jumped in the lake on her first visit to water and was very easy to train. I have always felt she had more than I could bring out. Piper has an exceptional nose and would track rabbits at full speed during her tests. Please watch this video to see her in action:
