RidenHigh GunDogs

I sent my four year old French Brittany (Monty) to work with David for four months this last summer (2023). It was the best decision I could have made, David ensured Monty was well taken care and looked after and that he was able to socialize when he was not training. David took the time and worked really worked with Monty and the results were apparent in the field, Monty became a much more disciplined and focused hunting partner. Aside from becoming in the field David also worked on getting rid of some of Monty's negative habits such as jumping. David formed a true bond with Monty and every time I bring Monty back, he is shaking in excitement when he sees David.

Had a great experience with David. I gave David my 1 year old Griff (Sig) for bird dog training. After two months with David there was obvious changes in my dog's ability to listen and follow instructions. It was very apparent that David spent a significant amount of time with Sig training him on birds, and getting him acclimated to bird country. Sig is a great companion and wonderful with my kids; he's a natural fit to our family and thanks to the help of David he's an outstanding hunting partner as well!

I had to wait a few years before I could get a hunting dog. During that time I decided to take a few vacations and visit breeders in my home state of Utah, Idaho and Oregon. I was not experienced with identifying good breeders when I began the search. However, I learned quickly what makes a great versatile gundog breeder - they test their dogs in NAVHDA and only breed dog's with certain scores, they breed for coat, height and other elements of breed standard, they perform all the health testing (i.e. Penn Hip/OFA, thyroid, etc.) and THEY HAVE A TRAINING PROGRAM. I visited 9 Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Breeders in the mentioned states over the 3 year wait period and found what I believe to be the top three breeders in that region. I chose RidenHigh Gundogs for the quality of the standards noted above and the prey drive David breeds in his dogs. David's dogs are hard running, big ranging chukar dogs. I bought my pup to hunt waterfowl, chukar, grouse and guide pheasant for friends learning to hunt. I am absolutely amazed at the versatility of my pup. Enzo is far more than I could have hoped for. He is a great pet as well, he hangs with me everywhere I go. I love my dog! PS - David always has a long waiting list - another great indication of breeding great gundogs - reputation!
