Cove Mountain Kennels

We had a great hunt this year! Here are a few pictures of deer taken by ourselves and our family members.

Kenya Karamojo Bell JH – Kenya is a very proven hunter, AKC hunt test competitor and mother. She was very trainable and had a lot of point at a very young age. Kenya is the reason we purchased Stella and Rouge (full sisters of hers from different litters). Not only is Kenya a phenomenal hunting dog, but she has thrown excellent puppies, 8 or 9 of which we have trained at Cove Mountain Kennels. One of her pups, Boomer of Kenya, was trained and subsequently handled at an AKC field trial in and placed in an open division. It was not only amazing that it was his first trial, but he had a vet diagnosed upper respiratory infection at the time which certainly slowed him down. Kenya is a pistol in the field and a sweetheart at home.

Karamojo’s Django Unleashed – Django was very trainable, has a lot of point and has been a pleasure to train and hunt. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to “turn it off” when not in the field. He is super chilled out off the field and all business when he is finding birds. Django is a son of FC Light ‘em Up Luke we purchased out of Colorado and couldn’t be more impressed.

 

 

The following is from a trusted friend and client. These are not Cove Mountain Kennels dogs, but we wanted to post this because we believe this is an excellent breeding from a guy very knowledgeable on super high quality Labradors. Be sure to contact Wes 208-540-1514 if interested.

I drew an Idaho bear tag for the western portion of the state this year and got this bruin. After having our twin daughters, bear hunting became something I had to put on the back burner. I’ve bear hunted very seldom since having our daughters. Bird hunting is always priority followed by hound hunting for lions and bobcats. While I can hunt birds and cats near the house, I had to travel at least 2 hours to run bears. Drawing this tag offered me an excuse to spend a long weekend after them. Pictured is Drama the redtick.

Patrick has been with us a couple months and is doing phenomenal. He is turning into a very nice and polished bird dog. Alot of style here.

Tikka, a black lab who we have for training is doing very well. Flushing dogs need to be trained well to be effective in the field. A flushing dog who is out of control is useless in the field and a major annoyance to the owner and any hunting partners. Tikka is coming along nicely with all commands and is like a wolf when she hits a trail or scent cone.

Winston the German Shorthair was sent to me to train for a late summer/early fall two month session in 2015. During those two months he was given a minimum of one session a day for six days per week. Each session involved three or more birds. Unfortunately, his owner’s family situation is preventing him from being able to own him any longer. He is 1.5 years old and is a pistol in field. He is a hard core bird dog with a lot of style on his birds. He was trained steady-to-win. He retrieves pretty well also. He was a dog that I knew very quickly would blossom into a nice dog. I always prefer reigning a dog with tons of drive in rather than milking a dog through training that has little bird drive. Winston was and is full of drive, but now he is a refined bird dog.

We rarely sell trained dogs and when we dog they usually move pretty fast, especially young ones. Whether it is puppies or trained dogs, our biggest concern is that the dog is going to a good home. If you would like to talk more about Winston, please give me a call and answer any questions you may have. -Nick 314-954-5424
