Why Absolute

Buying a puppy is a major commitment.  There are lots of things that we hope for, or expect from our investment once it becomes part of the family.  We need a healthy dog, that is good in the house, good with other dogs, good with kids, easy to live with, and, at the end of the day is a good hunting dog.  The good hunting dog could range from 2 weekends per year, to a useful guide dog, or field trial dog.  Well, there’s your answer.  Absolute Gun Dog’s dogs are all of those.

Since venturing out on our own in 2009, Absolute’s dogs have made some pretty impressive accomplishments.  In 2009 we trained and handled the high point English Springer in the U.S.,  followed by the North American high point Cocker in 2010.  Since then we have won the Hogan award for high point handler by having the most accumulated points by our team of English Springer Spaniels in 2015 and again in 2019.  We have placed 1st through 4th in both English Springer Spaniel trials and with our English Cocker Spaniel Stable.  We have one the high point weighted title with cockers in 2018, and again with Springers in 2019.

In 2016 we won the National Cocker Championship with the youngest dog in history, in the largest Championship trial of it’s time.  We have earned a total of 14 National placements, mostly with dogs that come from our breeding lines.  90% of the accomplishments are also house dogs, and many are used in our guided pheasant hunts in the fall, between trials.

We are breeders of English Springer Spaniels, breeders of English Cocker Spaniels, and Breeders of British Labs.  We don’t breed a lot, but when we do, you can rest assured that we are breeding with the intention of improving the breed.  Great house pets, great weekend warrior hunting dogs, great guide dogs, and accomplished field trial dogs.

We hope when the time comes for you to find your next puppy or started dog, you give some serious thought to Absolute Gun Dogs for your next addition to the family.  We have some great dogs and we’d love for you to have one that beats your expectations, one with a sound body, sound mind, with a pleasing temperament and strong natural ability.
