HRCH Stewart’s Scapaflow Buck MH X Soggy Acres Lucy Belle

Lucy just came into heat and will be bred to Buck in the next two weeks.  The pups will be tri factored black puppies and due sometime in early Oct.

All of our litters are bred for superior temperament, as well as natural ability.  Feel free to set up a time to come out and meet some of the dogs!

I have a chocolate labrador retriever puppy available due to a cancellation.  The mother of the chocolate lab pup is Soggy Acres Liberty Belle JH and the sire is HR Soggy Acres Desert Fox SH.

The pups are ready for homes on July 3rd.  They come with one set of shots, a quality health guarantee, have their dew claws removed and were vet checked. 

This is a repeat breeding with pups from the last litter doing well in the field.

Dont miss out on your chance for a Soggy Dog!!

Thursday Class starting on June 24th is full.
Wednesday Class starting on June 23rd has one opening.

Three day workshop from July 16th thru 18th there are four openings.

We just opened up the six week class on wednesday and only have one spot left. We also just posted the workshop a week or so ago and have it half filled……long story short…..dont wait too long if you want to get your hound in the class. I will also have several slots available for those without dogs in each class for half price.

These classes will be taught in a group atmosphere and focus on getting your retriever to a basic gundog level. The class goal is to give clear instruction on everything in the course outline. All demonstrations will be taped and put in a youtube account for you to review once the class is over.

If you are seriously looking to learn the proven training techniques we have used at Soggy Acres Retrievers with our Labrador Retrievers dont miss out on our class!

I may add an August workshop if we have enough interest as well.

Feel free to call me with any and all questions about our Basic Gundog Training classes and workshop. Attached is the flyer with outline for the course.

Training Flyer

Here are two more pics from our litters featuring chocolate and black labrador retriever pups. These future little gundogs and couch warmers are doing wonderful. They started eating mushy food today and are well on their way to heading to their homes.

I am going to get a bunch of bird wings tomorrow and we will start the hunting dog eval process for the pups.

Basic Gundog Training Class

The purpose of this class will be to teach the dog and handler techniques needed for basic gundog skills. The class will meet over a 6 week period, once per week, and work on basic commands and skills needed to train a gundog. The class will be hands on with one instructor per four dogs and handlers. Each dog will be evaluated and worked with one on one for a period of time during each session, with the balance of the training being in a group atmosphere.

We are limiting the class to 4 dogs with handlers. We will allow an additional person for each group to observe, but want to limit the amount of distraction for the dog and handler teams. Persons without dogs are welcome as well at a discounted rate.

The first class will start in June and be held on Thursday evenings from 630 pm to 830 pm. The last or sixth class will be held on a Saturday and last four hours.

All birds are included in the cost of the class. We will have both ducks and upland birds for the training class. Expectations are that the dogs in the class will have a basic knowledge of obedience commands prior to its start. Equipment needed for the class is listed below and will be needed for the course. Soggy Acres Retrievers sells all of the products and can put the training packages together prior to the class.

The cost for the class is $250 per dog and handler. Handlers without dogs are $125 to observe the class. If possible I will provide demonstration dogs for observers.

We are limiting the class to four dogs with handlers. As classes fill we will add more as needed.

This class will be set up in a group training atmosphere. While the handler is not working directly with the instructor they will be expected to observe and learn through the experiences of other classmates. The course is set up to not only train your canine companion, but the handler as well. The main goal will be to train, demonstrate, and explain training methods that will allow the average handler to work effectively with their dog.

Equipment List

This is a list of equipment needed for the class
• Whistle and Lanyard
• Flat Buckle Collar
• 6 Foot Lead
• 1 Foot Lead
• Pinch Collar
• E-Collar (Optional, but highly desirable)
