Bearded Gundogs - German Wirehaired Pointers, Dog Training and Boarding

"Bearded Gundogs specializes in high drive superior hunting German Wirehaired Pointers, as well as offering Training and Boarding Programs. I have had a great experience with all three aspects. The owner Chris Caldwell is a class act and is everything you want as a breeder. He has been there to help us through all stages since we have gotten our puppy from him. I have never met someone who is so passionate about the German Wirehaired Pointer Breed and after having a conversation, made it an easy choice for us to want a puppy from his line. His breeding program truly is one of a kind, resulting in great hunting dogs with high drive, natural instinct, are trainable, fantastic temperament, and great dogs for being around family members. These dogs are made for hunting (Upland, Waterfowl, Shed, Tracking)! Our dog Finn took his hunting to the next level when we dropped him off for training. Chris was able to work with him on a daily basis to help prepare him for his NAVHDA Natural Ability Test. He really helped fine tune his pointing, steadiness, tracking, and swimming! Chris has a great boarding system as well and it definitely gave us peace of mind knowing Chris was taking great care of him. We recently had a great experience at the NAVHDA Chapters Natural Ability Test, where our dog was able to post a perfect score! I had a great experience being able to handle Finn during the test, and highly encourage anyone who gets a dog from Bearded Gundogs to test as well! I would highly recommend Bearded Gundogs!"

"I spent countless hours searching for and talking to potential breeders for my next pup. After a brief call with Chris, I immediately knew I had found the right place. Soon thereafter, a Jinx had a big litter and I was able to get one much sooner than I expected. I'm 400+ miles/ 7 hours away, so I trusted Chris to pick my puppy for me. Noodle (as we affectionately call our pup), has the most incredible ON/OFF switch I've ever seen. She's full of piss and vinegar in the field and is a complete couch potato. Their dogs are super high drive, 100% trainable and extremely eager. I've had bird dogs for years, but this was the first one I've intended to handle in hunt tests. Chris has been there every step of the way if I ever needed guidance or advice. We talk multiple times a week. He's even got me hooked on raising homing pigeons, to which he's also been an excellent resource for. They say you don't pick a great breeder; a great breeder picks you. I'm incredibly fortunate that Chris and Shawnda chose us to be part of the Bearded Gundogs Family. We'll be back for sure. Bearded Gundogs She's Sendin' Noods NA 1"

"Incredibly happy with my experiences with Chris and Shawnda at BGs. Our pup is 16 months and turning out amazing. Puppy selection was fun and they were helpful on what to look for based on my preferences. I’ve sent the pup back to BGs for boarding and training several times and chris is always helpful for questions and challenges that arise. He wants to see all his dogs and owners succeed and the way he runs his business and the way dogs are homed with devoted owners and trained for the field and home show this commitment. Highly recommend."

"After being on the waiting list for a year, Chris told me I was next on the list. Then Chris called and said my pick was going to someone else. After the next litter was born he raised the price $400. Then I get a puppy and it ends up having Exotropia. Thats where the eyes point outward. My vet sent Chris a letter stating my puppys condition and asks Chris to make a monetary compensation due to her disability. Chris then asks me to take my puppy to an eye doctor which he said he would pay for. I took her, to date he never paid. Chris has treated me very poorly. New update. Chris finally paid the specialist bill."
