At Orion's Kennel I have been raising hunting Golden Retrievers since 2006. Though I primarily hunt pheasant they have been hunted on  pheasants, ducks, chucker and quail. I select dogs based on their natural hunting instinct as well as a good temperament and trainability. All of my dogs are pick of the litter. After they provide a great season of hunting or after competing in field trials or hunt tests the rest of the year they will still be great pets and enjoy their training sessions with you.
I travel extensively with my dogs and have hunted in Florida, Illinois, South Dakota, Colorado and Minnesota; run tower Shoots in  Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina and Indiana; guided in Illinois, Minnesota and Colorado. Between hunting, guiding and tower shoots these dogs get a lot of experience with birds and they do an excellent job.
