Puppies
At Duckhill Kennels we conduct a selective breeding program aimed at producing puppies that will become excellent gundogs and excellent family dogs. Further, we strive to breed dogs that the average novice trainer can train with gentle training methods.
Our major breeding selection criteria are:
1. Hunting and Gamefinding Initiative
2. Calm pleasant demeanor
3. Intelligence and ease of training
4. Natural Delivery to hand
Robert Milner personally selects and trains all our prospective breeding stock to insure that they have the behavioral traits needed to attain our breeding program goals. Robert has been training and breeding gentle gundogs since 1972.
During that time, he has trained well over 2000 gundogs, including a good number of puppies from his breeding programs. Thus he is quite well educated in recognizing the puppy behavioral traits that translate into excellence in the grown gundog. He is also quite good at picking parents with the behavioral traits important to an excellent gundog. Retention of a large number of our puppies in our headstart program offers us another opportunity to "fine tune" our breeding selection process.
