The great advantage to buying a trained dog is that you get to see exactly how well the dog can hunt, how obedient it is, and it's disposition towards people, before you buy it.  You know exactly what you're getting, no surprises.  We feel that you should be able to take a Started dog out hunting and expect it to do a good job for you right from the start, and we train them with that expectation in mind.

The Started dogs that we offer for sale are dogs that we have raised from puppies.  These dogs have been through the training we use for our Started Training Program, including:

- early socialization
- on and off-leash obedience
- introduction to birds, the gun, and water
- force fetch
- collar conditioning
- steadiness training
- many land marks
- many water marks
- upland work on quartering, flushing, and retrieving

Nova is a Roux puppy that we raised to be part of our breeding program, but unfortunately that did not work out. She is a very strong, well built dog, and weighs 65 lbs. Nova earned her HRC Started Hunting Retriever title in the
summer of 2022, passing four straight tests. The last two falls she has been guiding pheasant hunts with me at Paul Nelson Farm in Gettysburg, South Dakota. Nova has a ton of drive, loves the water, and has the sweetest disposition you could ask for. She will be sold with limited registration.
