Honkytonk Cash

Doc is back, he finished his championship in NSTRA this spring and made his way back to Arizona. I am extremely excited to get out and hunt him this season. He is a bird finder and will be lots of fun to watch. So beware Mearns the Doc will be making house calls.

Star is just that the STAR of the Kennel. She has become a accomplished covey finder and has been able to do some winning in NSTRA. She is the total package and a joy to watch. she is graceful and flat slams point with superb style. Star is out of Moon and Flow. Keep a eye on her I expect plenty of great thing to come in trials and hunting the quails of Arizona.

High Moon's Lilly

2009-07-13T11:05:00.000-07:00

When I First saw her I thought she could be a talented bird dog. After months of training she has started to show her potential and she has plenty of it. She is a small dog, Fast, stylish and can run all day, Last season she ended on a high, she figured out Mearn's quail and started putting coveys on the card. I am excited for this fall to see if she starts the season where she left off. if so Billy and Star will have a run for there money on covey count. Lilly is a product of Angel's High Moon and Dutchess Charmer a Honky tonk/Elhew female. she is a great addition to the team.

Moon Passed away this May. He was a great dog and will always have a impact in my Kennel and breeding program. I will be able to get 7 more litters out of him so his legacy will continue for many years to come. Moon will be greatly missed, he always had the ability to find that extra bird to make the day a little better

Billy is a product of Tanner's Kennels she is out of Moon and Flow. What a nice bird dog! She can flat find quail. she, just as I thought she would, has risen to the top of the guide string. Billy can flat find coveys she found ninety + in 2008 and 45 in 2009. I am excited to have such a nice dog and I cant wait to show her off this year. when its Miss Billys turn to roll be ready to see some mearns quail, and the cloud of dust she leaves as she tears up the hillsides looking for birds.

Billy has been able to get a few placements in NSTRA. she has what it takes to get it done anywhere.

Wayne Stanworth:

I was referred to Matt by several people in the know, when I was looking for a new puppy back at the start of '08. I was immediately impressed with Matt's puppies due to their evenly marked heads and clean bodies. Once I contacted Matt, he was very helpful in the selection of my new pup. Even though we live in different states he was always very quick to return my calls and even went out of his way to email me some additional pictures of the pup I selected.

I have now had the pup for about six months and could not be happier. He is very affectionate and gets along with other dogs very well. He has taken to birds like he is a seasoned veteran. He has held a staunch point from the very first time that he saw a wing, to the point where he is now; steady to wing and shot. I personally own several dogs, and I have been able to train several others and I have yet to see a pup that has taken to training so nicely. I am anxiously awaiting our first season of wild bird hunting together. Their is no doubt that he has the potential to become the dog that I dream he will be. I would highly recommend picking up a pup from Matt. I know I plan on always having a few in my kennel.

"Hank is the dog

of a lifetime. He is young, but I know he will be the best dog I will ever own. He has done everything naturally. Has more drive than I could ask for, And style to spare. He is ranging very big at times. He hunts at mach 10 and sucks in everything with his nose. It is amazing how fast these dogs can run and still smell birds. To this point he has been easy to train. He has not been shocked with the collar to this day. My wife and kids love him also. He is a great pet.

He lets the kids play on him and he is very quiet. I find myself comparing everydog to him. not just mine but those I train/hunt with also. They all fall short,

granted, I don't hunt/train with any Champ dogs."

" I like her a lot and I have no doubt in her bird finding ability, and I've never seen a dog with more natural pointing instinct than her. She will hold point all day until you start to approach for the flush and then she will creep a bit if you don't "whoa" her. I haven't used the E-collar on her yet, but I think I will introduce it soon to try and control her after the flush. If you don't have a good hold on the check cord, it's anybody's game for a few minutes. All in all I think she is going to be a fine big running Chukar dog."
