  • Man and chocolate pointing lab with ribbons, awards, certifications.

    Ryker earned his APLA Certified Pointer and Advanced Pointing Retriever titles the same weekend. He is just 9 months of age and is running doubles in land and water, handling, and holding his points naturally. He has one of the prettiest points you will find in a Pointing Labrador! He sticks them with his tail straight up. Ryker was pointing at an early age and is one of the most intelligent dogs I have ever seen. He has so much raw natural talent and picks things up so quickly. He is an incredible bird dog and companion who comes in the house!! Congratulations Richard and Ryker! Ryker is an example of what we strive for in producing high quality Pointing Labradors! Ryker is on his way to GMPR!

  • Yellow pointing lab puppy.

    At just 3 1/2 months of age, Redd knows the following commands: Sit, Step, Hup, Sit, Stand, Wait, Touch, Let's Go, Sit, Off. The groundwork is being laid for: Novice stand for exam, Utility signal stand, Utility moving stand, Rally Stand on command, Rally-Call to Heel. I have seen Redd learning "Place" and casting left and right with bumpers, pointing, and retrieving out of the water already through video and pictures sent to me by Redd's owner Roxanne Lee. Roxanne can also help you with your training program. Contact Roxanne at: DogObedience1st.com

  • Woman and yellow pointing lab dog with ribbons, awards, certifications.

    Congratulations to Amanda and her dog Yukon. Yukon is out of CPR King David's Mighty Benaiah and Kell's Mary Alice's Bird Dog. At just 11 months he is successfully earning his AKC titles and his looks and style are drawing attention. It is always rewarding to see the dogs we breed compete at different venues and early on show the drive, intelligence, style, and natural ability to succeed. No doubt Amanda has put in the time teaching and training Yukon as well. Amanda and Yukon have a bright future ahead of them!!

  • Yellow pointing lab and ribbon, awards, certifications.

    Jax is one of the best looking hunting machines you will find!! He was pointing right away on a pheasant wing and took to the upland at such a young age. His nose is incredible. He will frequently point birds 20 yards away and let you know you better shoulder your gun. He has a lot of go in him when it comes to training, hunting, or doing our water exercises, but he can calm right down and chill out as well. Jax is a special dog and one of those dogs that don't come around very often. Thanks so much for Jax!! Sam

  • Chocolate pointing lab and pheasant hunt in a prairie or field.

    Bristol has become an excellent bird dog. In the last 3 weeks we have taken 72 pheasants with her pointing about 80% of them. Her retrieving abilities and the way she uses are nose are excellent. She made 4 pheasant water retrieves this week massive cattails. She amazes me with her marking downed birds and always comes up with them. If a bird comes down you can bank on her finding and retrieving it! She is also an awesome family companion. Thanks for everything!

    Abe is now one year old and is a beautiful blocky good looking male. He was introduced to birds at four months of age and took to them right away. This fall was his first hunting season and has an excellent nose, strong point, and retrieves everything. He is also relaxed in the house at night. We are very happy with Abe! Thanks Lyle!

  • Yellow pointing lab puppy pointing in a field.

    Finn went to T.J. Trollope and is now a Kansas resident. He was picked up at 7 weeks of age and just a week later he is all locked up on his first quail. T.J. is planning on running some APLA tests with him in the future. I anticipate seeing some ribbons around the neck of this guy!!!

  • yellow pointing lab in the snow

    Allie is pointing the pheasant wing repeatedly and will hold the point for several seconds already. She is very affectionate and outgoing. We are taking daily walks together and she is using her nose and works ahead nicely, yet stays in range. She is crate trained and only had one accident the very first night. She has plenty of drive and energy, but can turn it off and settle right down in the house. She is doing great and we are very happy with her! Thanks!

  • yellow pointing lab duck hunting in the water.

    Boji is doing great. He retrieved a duck into the boat at just 4 months of age! Boji did amazing on the pheasant opener and is learning so fast! We couldn't be happier with him! He weighs 52 pounds at 6 months of age. Also, today he had a 120 yard duck retrieve and is marking so well on the land and in the water. Thanks so much for Boji, we love him!

  • Yellow pointing lab in an Iowa yard, midwest.

    We chose Jed from Cornstalker Kennels because he was very athletic, and he retrieved for us at 7 weeks. Jed was very aware of what was going on around him, and he always had a strong desire to retrieve from the very beginning. He always wants more when we are finished training or hunting. He took to the water immediately and loves to swim, even in the extreme cold. In his first pheasant season before his first birthday, he found and retrieved over 40 pheasants for us. To this day, he will hunt all day for us. He is collar condition, force fetched, and I trained him to do blind retrieves. Jed and I were chosen to guide for the governor’s hunt in Clay County, IA. Jed passed his Junior Hunter test in the AKC. Jed was able to do the work of an AKC Master Hunter, but I did not have the resources to travel for the tests. Jed is also a great companion for our entire family. I have also trained several other dogs produced by Cornstalker Kennels and they have shown exceptional ability and have been very successful in my training program. Thanks Cornstalker Kennels!

    Congratulations to Richard Rutt and his new Grand Master Pointing Retriever Ryker! Ryker is out of our Eli and Charlie first breeding. Ryker went four for four this spring running Master APLA tests. Ryker is not even 2 years old and was doing the Master work at just 16 months of age. I heard several people, both trainers and spectators, say that Ryker ran the cleanest marks and was the best dog in the field and he is an amazing looking boy! Richard has a background in dog training and really laid an amazing foundation in Ryker which is why he was successful at such an early age. We strive to produce excellent pointing labs that are family dogs, hunting companions, and have the genetics to be successful in the hunt test arena. It was such a privilege to be at the hunt test and watch Ryker run Master so well. Hats off to you Richard, Eli and Charlie are proud parents!
