I'd Contact Dr. Ray Calkins DVM, he's in Oregon, Portland area. His line of GWP is prefixed" Cascade". He's had wires for over 40 years and I've hunted with a good number of great dogs from his lines. As far as a trainer goes R.J. Marquart at Quicksilver kennels in Moses lake. Thats 2 directions I'd go myself.Great information. I will look into both of those, many thanks.

I looked as well, most specifically at the pedigrees, there's quite a bit of Dr Rays Cascade blood in one of their dogs and some in another.Are you talking about Garten's dogs having the Caulkins blood lines? I emailed Mr. Caulkins and they did not have a 2020 and so their 2021 list is quite long.

Call Kelly at Bonepoint Kennels. He’s out of Oregon.Shannon thank you. I had looked up Bone Point, and their dogs are nice looking so it is good to hear someone recommend them. Do you have one of their dogs, or have you shoot over any of their dogs?

I know there are others out there but when I did my research and called breeders those 3 were the best to talk to and Dominic even took me hunting to see his dogs work. One question you should ask a breeder is “what flaws or traits their dogs have that they are trying to improve?” If a breeder tells you their dog is perfect, run away, because no dog is perfect.
Good luck on the search, it’s fun.

I dont have any specific recommendations but I can say that LOTS of GWP owners hunted the WDFW Lake Terrell pheasant release site this year. I dont think I have consistently seen that many in one area.That's because up here Jim Lallas at Acme Hunt club has had bred and sold wirehair pups for close to 30 years, and again it's no surprise.... The dogs he started with.... we're from Cascade kennels stock.

Check out three devils, Jeff Funke I have a dog out of Sage Kendall (Blue Sage gun dogs) and much of his lines are Three Devils. If I were getting a dog right now I would go to him or Bachman Bay. They have a few dogs that have Lager V in their lines. This would be worth a look. Good luck.
Yes, Three Devils and it’s not even close if you ask me. Go watch Jeff’s dogs and you won’t be disappointed.
