Bird Dog Training
The late Bubber Cameron trained dogs all his life and handed down to his sons, Rush and John, his experience with gun dogs.
It is our belief that usually lots of birds and repetition makes a bird dog enjoy this job. We can do this because the strongest birds will survive and establish themselves on our hunting grounds and will enhance our hunt during the hunting season. The ample space and plentiful birds year around make for a perfect combination to guarantee that a dog in training has maximum field conditioning and bird exposure.
The ability to work your dogs year around is provided by the number of artesian wells on the property. With plenty of water, dogs have the opportunity to cover large areas.
Puppy Training
We are nationally recognized for our puppy training program and have been featured in Gun Dog magazine and many newspapers. Our dogs love to work the fields looking for quail. We’ve made a career of raising pups and training great bird dogs. Any hunter who has experienced a pair of stylish dogs working together and backing on point, knows that watching the brace is almost better than shooting the bird.
We take puppies straight from weaning to a pen in the middle of the preserve by themselves. Then everyday we take birds out to them allowing them to chase the the birds around where we usually have coveys on the grounds. By doing this, everything that is natural comes out in the puppy. This type of training is far too expensive for most trainers because of the number of birds used. But to our preserve, it helps to establish coveys on the hunting grounds with only the strongest of birds.
