Pointing Labs At R&R Pheasant Hunting, LLC, we offer you the finest pheasant hunting experience in South Dakota. One of the ways we do this is by providing trained pointing labs with every hunt. All of our pointing labs go through a rigorous training process, which helps the maximize the effectiveness of your hunt. Although different dog trainers use different techniques, there are some generalities that hold true. The dog's training begins when the dog is still a pup, usually at about 10-12 weeks. The pup will be encouraged to search for treats on the trainer's person, thereby encouraging and rewarding the dog for using its nose. About this same time, the dog will first be introduced to game birds (usually a pigeon). If the dog becomes excited, this is called becoming "birdy." Some of the more gifted pups will even show a natural pointing tendency. The handler will then tweak and hone this behavior through games, such as attaching a bird feather to a fishing line and dragging it along the ground. This eventually leads to pointing to caged birds in a field. Once the training is complete, the dog is then ready to take the field. The dogs used by R&R Pheasant Hunting are all experienced pointing labs. Our dogs also work well together, which will help you and your party get the most out of your hunting experience. Naturally, our guides are well-versed in getting the most out of our dogs. R&R Pheasant Hunting is ideal for corporate retreats, family hunts, or a trip with friends. Our first-class lodgings and superior hospitality will complete your experience. We also encourage you to bring your own dogs (we have kennels) to see how they'll fare on a hunt.

Hunters Point Kennel Information INTENT &
PURPOSE
At the completion of the "Super Dog" exercises we
begin a temperament equalization program recommended by Purdue
University School of Veterinary Medicine. In very simplified terms
the program requires random grouping of the puppies away from mother
twice a day. This changes the dynamics of the litter allowing the
puppies to assume roles different from the norm in their small
groups. This continues through six weeks of age.
PUPPY SELECTION POLICY
|
The kennel grounds occupy
approximately 2 ½ acres. We have two banks of adult kennels that
contain six 5' x 12' runs each. And six puppy runs of 4' x 12' each.
The kennel floors are concrete and on a 5 degree slope that drains
into a trough. The trough is connected to a 1000-gallon septic
system. The runs are divided by chain link fencing. The welping
areas are inside a metal building. There are three concrete runs of
8' x 16' inside and 8' x 8' outside. These are also connected to the
septic system. The concrete slopes and troughs make for easy and
thorough daily cleaning. We have an exercise and training area that
contains a one-acre pond. 
All of our dogs are fed
Eukanuba dog food. This was the result of a nutritional inquiry to
Purdue University and Ohio State University Schools of Veterinary
Medicine. The expense of feeding this top quality food is more than
offset by its results. All of our dogs are on Interceptor once a
month wormer and Advantage flea and tick control. All of our dogs
have their hips OFA certified and must score a good or excellent to
be bred. Annually our dogs receive rabies & parvo vaccinations and
their eyes are examined by a canine opthamalogist with the result
submitted to CERF for registration. Or puppies receive Interceptor
wormer at 3 weeks of age and their first Ft Dodge Puppy Shot (Duramune
DA2PP + CVK) at 5 weeks. We repeat the Ft Dodge Puppy Shot every two
weeks until they leave or reach 16 weeks. Dew claws are removed by
the pinch method, limiting scaring. 
Our puppy development program
begins with early neurological stimulation using the "Bio Sensor"
program. The "Bio Sensor" program was developed by the U.S. Military
for their war dog program. Later it became known to the public as
the "Super Dog" program. This program consists of five exercises
performed on the puppies daily from the third day of life through
the sixteenth day of life. The benefits from this program are: 
Treating
people as I would expect to be treated has provided me with 24
successful years as an insurance agent. I have applied this basic
concept to Hunters Point Kennel as I handle the advertising,
marketing, and record keeping part of the business. The result has
been hundreds of satisfied puppy buyers all across the United
States. I am a life long avid hunter and fisherman. I am a member of
NRA, Ducks Unlimited, Quail Unlimited, and Pheasants Forever. I am
currently a member of the board of the American Pointing Labrador
Association and a two-term past-president. 
As
a 24 year employee of Purdue University in the capacity of County
Extension Educator, I have worked to help area farmers produce top
quality crops and livestock. This experience has helped me in
handling the breeding, health care, feeding, and daily maintenance
at the kennel. I believe quality is a result of deliberate action. I
am a lifelong hunting and fishing enthusiast and a member of Quail
Unlimited and the American Pointing Labrador Association.
