Clearcut Kennel

Clearcut Kennel Gettin' it done where it counts...on wild birds!! Gordon Setters for the dedicated grouse hunter. They are in the 45 to 55 pound range and are very athletic.

As an avid grouse hunter, all of our dogs are proven out on Wild Birds with only the very best grouse dogs making it into our breeding program. Our line of Gordon Setters are excellent at pointing grouse and they do it with lots of style. They paint a beautiful picture pointing their birds with a high head and high tail, which I like to call the "WOW FACTOR". Clearcut Kennels is getting it done where it counts...WILD BIRDS!

Clearcut Intrepid Miss Molly found our liberated Quail this evening. These quail have been roaming the property three days our more.
This also demonstrates how we work wild birds during the season. The dog has to establish point on its own (it’s between the dog and the bird). Once the dog establishes point one of us goes to the dog, control is transferred from the dog to us when we get to the check cord.

Lukus is transitioning from the retrieving bumper to frozen birds then to freshly killed birds. Note: The e-collar is NEVER used during this process.

Zeke achieved the fourth leg of his quest towards his Senior Hunter today and now officially holds a Senior Hunter Title. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew at Clearcut Kennels for both providing me with a wonderful dog and friend and the time and efforts you have put into his training. Jill, Dean constantly says that you are the backbone of the kennel and he means it. Kudos to you for what you do that goes mostly unnoticed. Lukus Fries was pressed into duty as a first time Hunt Test gunner today and shined at it. After a season where calling the test gunners bad is almost being to kind it was great to have a deadeye gunner on the field. Cool Hand Luke dropped a bird for Zeke quick and close and made it an easy retrieve for him. Thanks bud.
An AKC representative monitored the test this weekend and filmed Zeke doing Master level work on a bird. Dean released him from point 3 times and he almost immediately locked up again before the bird was found and flushed and Cool Hand Luke dropped it for the retrieve. After the test the rep asked Dean and I if she could use the video in judge training seminars. Kinda cool. Best of all my boy is home and relaxing with me.

Bruce and Cooper are two Clearcut Gordon’s that are run almost exclusively on Ruffed Grouse. Their owners are a Father Son team whose joy in life is hunting their Gordon’s as fully broke bird dogs. Both dogs have been through our Grouse Dog training program. What is really cool is the fact that their owners have followed through with the training and have stayed consistent in working the dogs year after year. That along with hundreds of grouse contacts each year have produced two extremely high level and proficient grouse dogs. We always look forward to their annual visit!!
