I searched around quite a bit looking for a breeder with a reputation for solid hunting dogs. After talking to numerous people and looking at several dogs I found the breeder I was looking for at Ultimate Gun Dog. From the time we picked up our puppy Sage, we’ve had a very positive experience. Sage was easy to train. Basic obedience went smoothly as this dog was very attentive and eager to please. Andre got Sage started on retrieving in the spring. After that initial four weeks of training Sage, progressed easily as I continued to build on that solid foundation. This is a high drive dog and yet at the same time, she has an easy going and calm personality. Andre was very helpful throughout in suggesting various techniques and training tips as we progressed through the skills necessary for a waterfowl hunting dog.

By September, Sage was ready for the field. We had nothing short of a fantastic fall as this dog is born to hunt. Andre was again always available to answer questions and make suggestions as Sage gained experience and confidence in the field. I think the name Ultimate Gun Dog pretty much sums up my experience. Andre and Chantell Draayer have brought together the right combination of genetics, environment, and support to produce a line of dogs second to none. I can’t recommend Ultimate Gun Dog enough. I even buy my dog food there…
