STARTED DOGS
Are you in the market for a new hunting companion that is “ready for the field” as soon as you get home? Maybe you want a new hunting companion but would prefer to skip over the “puppy stage”? In either case, a “Started Dog” may be just what you are looking for.
At Top Shelf Kennels, our definition of a started dog is one that has the following attributes/training:
- Basic Obedience
- Crate trained (will “kennel” on command and travel peacefully in crate)
- Recall (comes when called)
- Heal trained
- Gunfire introduction
- Water introduction
- Field coverage (quartering/checking in)
- Beginning Steadiness (will point and hold birds until flushed)
- Beginning Retrieve skills (will bring birds back within arms reach of handler)
NEW!!
See below for details on available started dog.
We’d love to hear from you. 701-367-5758
SOLD - "Top Shelf's Have A Drink On Me II" aka "Remmy"
DOB: 6/18/22
Remmy is a pup who came back to the kennel due to original owner having some "life events"
necessitating that he re-home the dog. Within 30 days of having Remmy back, I had him well prepared to run in his NAVHDA Natural Ability test. He earned a 108 Prize 1 on test day! Remmy is intact and all of his physical attributes are correct.
Bite/Teeth Normal - Coat Dense/Medium Harsh
Remmy comes from our first Guss x Quill Breeders Award litter. He is a super talented and confident pup. He has a BIG motor and loves water. Remmy has a ton of "point", which will make his advanced steadiness training very straight forward. At just under 2 years of age, this is the kind of pup you can take any direction.....continue his NAVHDA testing, AKC hunt tests, NSTRA trails, etc. He has the attributes to be highly successful in any of those arenas. Or simply make him your "brag dog" hunting buddy when fall comes around!
Give TSK a call at 701-367-5758 if you have any questions or would like to discuss adding Remmy to your hunting household.
Thank you for your interest.

Esther has a very high natural retrieve desire which will make her 'Trained Retrieve" training very straight forward.
Esther a very well-started pup that will be highly productive for her new owner this coming season.
