Cole was my pick from our "C" litter vom James River, a litter which was of exceptional quality throughout. Seven of the eight pups from that litter were tested in NADKC Derby tests, and all seven received Prize 1 scores. Four of those dogs continued their testing careers and became certified for breeding per DKV regulations. Those dogs all had hip ratings of either A1 or A2, equating to OFA Excellent. Cole is the best of an outstanding litter, and a quality son of the prepotent Bjorn vom Jaeger-Meister, which makes him a prime breeding dog from a genetic standpoint.

Cole is a tremendously talented, cooperative, and trainable dog. He was steady to wing and shot at the age of 7 months. He completed his retrieving training in 2 weeks, instead of the average 4-6 weeks. He has style and substance. He has been hunted on Ruffed Grouse, Pheasant, Quail, and Waterfowl, and performs admirably every time out. He has the intelligence to adjust his range to the cover conditions, he points with tremendous style and intensity, and is absolutely honest about it.

Cole has a conformation rating of "V", meaning "Excellent" in the DKV. His hips were rated A1 by the DKV in 2008. Since we decided to make him available to AKC breeders, we had new xrays taken in November 2012 for OFA Evaluation. The evaluation came back as "Excellent".

Most importantly, Cole's temperament is the absolute best. As driven as he is in the field and water, he is equally calm and quiet in the house. He has an "Off-Switch", which is sometimes lacking in a high drive dog.

Cole will make his mark on Leeward Kennels, and is available for stud service to approved b##?#?hes?, by Private Treaty. Cole is a certified DKV Stud dog, and is also registered with the AKC and the FDSB.


Pearl cut her teeth on chukar in the rugged mountians of Oregon. She earned her place in our breeding program because of her great nose and her natural staunchness. She likes to hit her birds hard and from a long way off. Pearl was born to grouse hunt, she's has a tremendous desire to find birds and is adapt at hunting the cover whether it's 20 yards to the front or 200 yards on the top of the ridge. Pearl's last litter produced pups that were point grouse at 6 months old. She really passes her great nose and natural point to her pups. Pearl is OFA good.

This litter has a CIO% of 8.3%, Our pups are sold with a health guarantee. Price is $600 male or female. Call 423-292-9097 or email volraider@charter.net
