Grouse Feather Kennel

Stud Services
Cost of stud services is $900 if the female is brought to the kennel, or $1,000 if shipped. This does include boarding fees, but does not include vaginal smears, progesterone assays, or artificial insemination fees should they be needed – but of course with the prior approval of the owner. If pregnancy does not occur, return service for the female is provided without additional ‘stud fee’(other than shipping costs).

If shipped, the owner is responsible for all fees associated with shipping. The owner is responsible for making all transportation arrangements.

A negative brucellosis test on the female dog is required prior to breeding. This test must have been performed within 6 months of the breeding date, and the actual test result from an accredited laboratory must be submitted for our review.

2X CH./ RU CH. Grouse Feather Mark
Mark is a 55# orange and white male. DOB - 3/11/2005. He is a son of CH.High Mark, one of the late Smith Setters. Mark is all bird dog. He caught our eye on his first trip to the prairie's as a young pup where, when turned loose, didn't want to play with the other pups, but instead, wanted to find and point birds. Mark placed in derby stakes as a puppy, and in shooting dog stakes as a derby. He is very precocious and has developed into a true powerhouse. He won the prestigious 2007 National Prairie Chicken Open Shooting Dog Championship over a field of 54 challengers from dogs all across the nation and in 2008 repeated the feat by besting 65 challengers. Mark has also had very strong performances with additional championship consideration in the Ontario and Michigan Open Shooting Dog Championships and the Region 13 Amateur Shooting Dog Championship. n 2010 he won the Runner-UP Championship title at the National Prairie Chicken Open Shooting Dog Championship
