We have moved our Salmy Acres Kennel
operation to a 60 run kennel with 600 beautifully groomed acres
available for training. The kennel is located at Prospect Hall Hunt
Club which is approximately 1 hour west of Washington DC in the
Northern Panhandle near Inwood West Virginia about 15 minutes off
Interstate 81.
We will be operating independently as
Salmy Kennel as usual at this very fine shooting and hunting facility
but are very excited to be moving to such a fantastic boarding and
training facility and be involved with the club in various ways.
Our mission will remain the same as our
tradition of over 20 years: to breed, train, hunt and compete with
the top dogs in the world.
Our facility will also offer training for
all gun dogs. Pointer breeds and Labs are welcome and encouraged to
experience our time proven methods for training the very best companion
whatever your passion. Great house partners that love to hunt and
please their partner with success as well as great kennel dogs that
hunt well for their handler and some of the top competitive animals in
North America.
Boarding
also available by appointment. Pick up and delivery.
I’ve had
Springers around most my life. My dad got our first one when I was 8
years old, some 40 years ago. I got my own dog when I was 16 and
trained her entirely by myself and hunted pheasants over her in Michigan
where I am from originally on vacations for several years. I purchased
a great little dog in 1985 and ran my first trial in 1987 in Pittsburgh. This
dog, “Prince” sired Zorro and Zorro won/placed in just about
everything entered in All-Age stakes. He ran up a total of 161 points
including 17 All-Age wins. (unfortunately, Prince died at a young age
of 2 after suffering a snake bite to the neck).
I turned Pro in 1991 training English
Springer Spaniels and English
Cocker Spaniels. I have judged over 30
licensed Springer trials including the 1996 National Open Championship
in Kansas and the 2007
National Open in Minnesota. I also judged the Boykin National in South
Carolina in January 2008.
The
seminars I conduct include dogs of “other” breeds for the
most part - Boykins, Cockers, Labs and have helped train dogs and
handlers to several hunt test titles and many darn good gun dogs.
