CFC Wildwind's Storm MH - Owner/Handler: Jim Keller
|
We are a year-round training facility. In early January, we are at the farm working on basic bird work, obediance and e-collar conditioning. During mid-February through late April, we can usually be found working in the mid-western United States - starting in south central Kansas - until ground opens up in the eastern United States.
By May through July, we are back at the farm preparing dogs for the upcoming hunting season. August and September offers opportunities to work on pre-season wild grouse and woodcock. October 1st marks the opening of our upland season, which runs until December 31st. Woodcock season is generally limited to the month of October.
We welcome your visit to our modern, first-class facility and to meet our staff. We all take great pride in what we do and in how we take care of your dog.

Monthly Boarding and Training
$650 per month (birds not included)
We offer a great program designed to develop a
young puppy into a first-rate hunting partner. Just a month or two of basic
introduction will get your puppy developed the right way. This is also a
great program to seasonally brush up your veteran dog before the hunting season.
We can customize a training program to suit your hunting needs. We also work
on specific problems such as poor retrieving habits, disobedience in the
field, gun nervousness, etc... The owner/handler is encouraged to be
involved in training as much as possible to ensure a smooth transition.

out of your gun or trial dog. We offer both open and tight cover for bringing
out the best of your dog.

Field Trials
We campaign spaniels throughout the US and Canada, having made over thirty champions and multiple national placements. We also prepare spaniels to run in the AKC Hunt Tests. We take pride that many of our spaniels compete with their owners handling them in field events.
We specialize in developing young dogs starting with the puppy stakes then converting them to the more demanding Open All Age stakes. Campaigning opportunities are available on a limited basis.
We believe in Quality not Quantity.
Please contact Jim regarding current rates for field trial training.
