Retired Dogs
At Standing Stone Kennels we ensure the health and well being of our females, which means we don't over breed. Our females are part of our family, and though we run a business and they are part of that business, it is more important to us that they are only bred to produce healthy, quality litters that improve the breed. These females have been an important part of our breeding program in the past and are now retired, living the life of luxury, hunting to their hearts content and lounging around the house!
Add to her excellent temperament and disposition, her incredible natural ability in the field, and her determination; she really is an all-in-one dog! Since she was a little puppy, she has been pointing birds, swimming for retrieves, backing naturally, and helping guide bird hunts!
Breezy is the definition of a light switch dog. She is hard-charging all day in any cover type, yet at home, you’ll forget she’s there until she sneaks onto the couch to cuddle with you!
Cali was a great bird finder with an excellent nose. She backed naturally with style and was a closer working dog that felt comfortable ranging between 30 and 50 yards. Cali loved to swim and was an amphibious retriever whether she was retrieving ducks or bumpers.
Gidgie’s puppies all have her spunky personality and field hunting style as well as her incredible natural retrieving drive. We can’t wait to continue her training and see where this fun-loving, get-up-and-go little girl will take us!
Grit has been guiding hunts since she was 6 months old. And even though she was just a puppy, she didn’t hunt like a puppy! She put some of the older, more seasoned dogs we hunted with that year to shame, finding and pointing tons of roosters and making some impressive retrieves!
Maggie is not just an exceptional hunting dog. She is a love bug in the house and loves for you to save her a spot on the couch or in the bed to cuddle overnight. She sure makes a great foot warmer! This love for her people makes her a great friend to little kids, and a good watchdog. Maggie is one of our foundation females but is now retired.
Mandi is a hard worker and her determination makes her a dog you can keep on the ground and hunt all day long, or train tirelessly in the off-season. She has a nice foot-hunting range and covers ground well, which makes her a joy to hunt behind! Mandi is one of our foundation females but is now retired.
Rosie is such a happy-go-lucky dog! She is always so happy, whether she is chewing on a toy in the house, hunting a field, or swimming after bumpers. We see a lot of her mother, Snap, in her especially when it comes to her easygoing demeanor in the house.
Snap is our light switch dog. When she’s in the house she is off. When she’s in the field she is on. This incredible combination of a lazy, couch potato that will sleep through the morning alarm and a hard-charging, field and duck hunting machine is what makes Snap so special.
Vino has just gotten “sweeter with time”. She has always been easy in the house, even as a puppy. Now she’s even sweeter. Vino is one of our foundation females but is now retired.
