Standing Stone Kennels Dams
At Standing Stone Kennels we strive for excellence in all that we do, especially our breeding program. That's why we train, test and title all of the dogs in our breeding program. Before our dogs will stand at stud they will have been PennHip tested as well as titled in NAVHDA or AKC.
This young lady is a huntress for sure! Hazel is a medium size female weighing 50lbs and she packs that 50 pounds full of style and intensity on point and a sweet disposition in the house!
Little Legacy sure takes after her momma, Quest. She is so sweet and cuddly in the house and so steady and solid in the field. She also is quite the looker and turns heads everywhere she goes! As a puppy she had a spicy and sassy personality, but really matured into a sweet, calm, quiet and well mannered dog! She adds a lot to the table and we are excited to see how her puppies add to the legacy we are building at Standing Stone Kennels.
You can’t help but say “wow” when you look at Piper! She is one big, beautiful girl! Not only is she pretty looking she is pretty on point and has style for miles. She definitely is on the bigger side for a female and she’s got a big ole’ head and often gets mistaken for a male if she isn’t wearing a pink collar!
Quest is a sweet girl with a softer personality. She is extremely natural and exceedingly trainable. She’s easy peasy in the house and sweet as pie with other dogs, puppies, and our son! This girl is special, and we expect great things out of her and her puppies for years to come.
She did so many big dog things this year from tracking like a pro (she got it from her momma) and being super steady on birds (she got it from her daddy) to showing us her true versatility. This girl is great in the water, retrieves all day long, tracks with focus and points with intensity and style.
This girl really does make some waves! Not only does she love to retrieve but she always makes a splash in the field with her good looks and style for miles.
This incredible girl is an all-around “good dog”! Suvie has proven herself time and again, successfully guiding in both South Dakota and Kansas and making every wild bird hunt an exciting adventure. She intelligently checks objectives and slams her points in a style that is strikingly reminiscent of her grandpa Shooter!
Suvie’s “can-do” attitude is unmatched. She’s always eager to work, quick to learn, and a joy to train.
Tailor is one heck of a bird dog.
What does it take to make a true bird dog?
Style, Intensity, Bird Sense, Natural Steadiness and Retrieving Drive!
Her style and intensity on point is off the charts!
She has Natural Bird Sense and has hunted huns, sharptails and pheasants in North Dakota, pheasants and prairie grouse in South Dakota, pheasants and quail in Kansas and now she is down in Texas on more quail!
She was early to mature and has so much natural steadiness that she developed quickly and was able to start guiding at the El Tesoro Ranch steady to wing, shot and fall this season!
Plus she loves to retrieve!
Don’t let her super sweet and easy-going personality fool you, she has the drive and desire to make a great hunting dog and she sure is determined when she wants something!
Veil is everything we expected to get out of a line breeding on Vex. Drive, desire and a true knack for finding birds. She has the power we hoped for and the bird finding ability of her daddy. It was always so impressive how Vex just seemed to know where the wild birds would be, and as a young dog down at El Tesoro, Veil is outhunting and finding more birds than most of the seasoned dogs that have hunted wild quail for years! Veil also has a lot of her momma, Trix, in her. She is steady to a fault, backs with as much style as she points, and always wants to be with you! She is definitely a velcro dog and prefers to be next to you hanging out on the couch or following you around the house from room to room!
The goal for Yahtzee’s breeding was to get as close to her mother, Breezy, as possible while continuing to improve trainability. We achieved that goal and then some! She is also a light switch dog that seems to have endless energy in the field yet once she walks through the door she want’s nothing more than to be curled up with you.
Some dogs are just powerful. Everything they do is explosive. We thought her momma, Breezy, was the most powerful dog we’ve every produced… then we met Yahtzee! She is a powerhouse and you can see that in every fiber of her being. She is one solid muscle!
