This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit Steve and Jodi Ries of Top Gun Kennels in Iowa. I have been very fortunate to visit a lot of kennels all over the country and felt especially welcomed into there home and kennel. It was refreshing to visit with them about there success in training and breeding German Shorthair pointers. There focus is to create dogs “for hunting and Family companionship”. Steve and Jodie take great pride in there dogs and training methods not only did they share there passion for bird dogs they also showed there giving personalities as Steve spoke at a local church about the importance of having structure in your home as well in your training of dogs. What great examples of the friends you can make in the bird dog world.
