I can’t tell you how excited we are ourselves! It’s going to be a long wait I’m afraid!! Lol! I’ve been looking all day at the pics on the web site of Missy and Brady. They are beautiful dogs and I agree, with the pedigree behind them both they will have a special litter of pups. Please keep us posted on the progress of when Missy comes into heat etc. We’d like to be as involved as we can without driving you nuts!! You’ve been great, thank you!!!

We found Godfather Gundogs in Dec of 09, we visited total 7 kennels between CO, KS and TX searching for our next Brittany, as it turned out the best dogs are right under our nose here in Colorado. We are very excited about committing a pup in the spring litter but the wait is killing us, they say good thing are worth waiting for, I believe it's true.

Just thought you guys would like to see how terrific our little girl is at agility work. Steve has pictures of her on his web site. She jumps with ease and loves to show off. She has turned out to be EXACTLY the fun loving companion we had hoped for. She starts bird training when we return to Minnesota next June. Thank you again for helping us with our selection. A 5 rating is an insult, Steve should get 100. If you need any endorsements or references, please do not hesitate to contact us. 858-827-9139

Hello Steve,
I just wanted to tell you thanks again for doing such a great job training Cora. I was able to take her hunting for the first time today. She was just wonderful. We got six Chukar and one Pheasant. She worked really hard in some very rough terrain. It was obvious she loves to hunt. She was great about keeping me in sight and when she locked up on a bird she just waited till I got there. I don't know if any of my pictures today will turn out well or not. It's hard to hold a shotgun and camera, all at the same time. If any do look good, I will e-mail them to you.

I think I need to get busy and book another hunt for next week.

Thanks again,

Robert

Hi Steve,
This is a very thoughtful note and you are very welcome. However, it is us - your customers and friends - who owe you a Thank You for all your wonderful training and caring of our favorite hunting buddies (our dogs). I very much enjoy the opportunity to visit with you and your training of Nevada has really paid off. He is doing great this year. I took him out to northeastern Colorado on opening day, and he had some great points on wild birds. He is absolutely fantastic at Strasburg too.

Now you have to let me know when you have a moment to go out with us? I can probably only do that mostly on Saturday's but if I have enough lead time I can schedule us to go out during the week too. So let me know when you have some time and we'll try to go hunting together before the Christmas holidays ( I will be out of Colorado from the 18th till the 1st of the New Year.
Again, you are very much appreciated for all you have done for Nevada and me. I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.

Best regards always, Paul

Steve,
Josie is awesome! I have to run her every afternoon or evening because she has so much energy. We typically go walk through the lighter cover and she has been pointing Pheasant and Quail. Thursday she found a covey of about 30 and 2 singles. THANKS Ryan rgrammon@ruraltel.net

Hi Steve,
Hope the field trials went well!
I wanted to write you a quick note. I took Huck up around the vail area this weekend to do some hiking.....he led me straight to three grouse in a matter of 20 mins. While i can't say that he necesarilly pointed them....he did 100% know they were there, which otherwise I would have had no clue. One single and a pair coveyed up in a sage bush. I can already tell he has a great nose and can't wait for training start.

Regards,
Pete

Steve,

I'm glad to see you listed here, it has been awhile since I wrote to you, but I want to express again my gratitude for bringing me such an awesome dog. My dog, Zack, was one of the pups from the Buzz and Annie litter in 2006. He took to the field like the natural hunter that his bloodlines would suggest. Unfortunately, we missed the entire 2008 hunting season because I took a job with the government that required me to be in Georgia from June to December of last year. I have resumed working with Zack to get him ready for this year and he remembered everything. He got so excited to smell the dummy and wear the E-collar. I can't wait for October!

As my new job forced me to move to Salt Lake City, I'm looking for a shooting club and gun dog club out here in Utah.
I need to get more pictures, but I usually have a shotgun in my hand and not a camera. I really regret missing his 2-year-old season, but I'm sure we'll make up for it this year. That's one more reason I need to meet people out here in Utah who hunt.
Thanks again for your dedication to the integrity of good breeding and for bringing me Zack. I'll keep in touch with future updates.

Regards,

Bob Andrews

I don't even know where to begin tell you about our little Cassie, by far the easiest hunting dog we have trained, she is all natural, I basically just told her what not to do, she did rest on her own. If you are looking for a Brittany for hunting, I recommend you give this guy a call. Our dog is out of Bugsy and Annie.

Dear Steve,
I thought I would post here so every one can read about the wonderful job you did raising this litter. What a wonderful, wild week we've had! I don't think a puppy has EVER been photographed so much with his pictures sent coast to coast to family and friends!!! He is adorable and again, we thank you for making this possible!!!
He's doing great; sleeping 6 hours a night, eating well, learning his name, and potty training beautifully using your system. His favorite "toy" is our large, floor length mirror. He points himself, growls, licks and claws at the mirror. It's pretty cute. We are very careful with him, in terms of electrical cords, etc. Wow, with computers, etc., it's amazing how things have changed in 14 years!!!
Take care, and thanks again.

Steve,
Thanks so much for our new addition to the family! And thanks for your time last night your info will really help out.
Smooth ride last night with Sky Blazer - - slept most of the way home. Then he wanted to play until 12:30 AM! We put him in his crate (no resistance) after that had him in the bedroom with us for the night. I got up to play with him for about an hour this morning, he then went back to sleep in his crate, but this time he stayed out in the utility room/kitchen area.
Good luck with the next two and with your winter camp to TX!

I’ve been hearing good things said about you and now I'm glad we met. I will say you are not only utterly knowledgeable about bird dogs, I can tell you also enjoy talking about them.
It was my pleasure meeting you, please keep me informed about your next litter and am interested in your seminar. Delmar

Steve,
Thanks for seeing Shelley and me last week, especially during your family meal time. It is obvious you have quite a passion for Brittanys, we are positive we have made the right choice in contacting you. We look forward to seeing you again in Jan to pick up the pup.

In my pursuit of a competent trainer to break my derby, I was referred to Steve by Stan Tuskin, a judge I met at a field trial this fall. I did some research and read some of his testimony on the internet but I was not 100% convinced, after about 3 weeks, I finally called him to get a firsthand look-see what he is about and boy, am I glad did. I spent a very cold Saturday morning watching Steve work the dogs, these dogs I saw in training are cheerful, eager and well displayed, in many ways they exceeded what I had in mind. All I can say is this guy is no bullshit, he is the real deal and a genuine first class act too.

Steve, It has been awhile. can't believe I found you here on this site.
Had to let you know that I was out pheasant hunting yesterday up in Neb. & had just an awesome outing. Senna, who if you remember, you did her training (lewellin setter), performed outstanding. Unfortunately, I have been too busy to get out much at all this year but she showed no signs of rust. She did a great job of finding birds & holding hard to point. More than anything else just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you. Your foundational work with her really brought out the best in her.Thanks again & Happy Thanksgiving, John Salopek

Hi Steve,
Sage placed 2nd in the open gundog (19 started) on Saturday, I know we would’ve take first place only if I knew what I was doing, still, I’m so proud of my girl, no words can descript the joy in me. I had a wonderful time meeting people that share the same love in dogs, after my brace the judges took me aside, both spoke very highly of Sage, they told me she will be the one to beat when she gets a little older. I confess I didn’t catch on when you told me time will make her shine, now I understand what you mean. I can also see the shine is reflection of excellence in your training. Thank you for everything, Sir. I’m grateful for the time and effort you put in Sage, I know you already have a good reputation but if you ever need a reference, do not hesitate to give any one my number.

Best wishes,

Silvia, Sage and Max

Hi Steve,
I will be honest, I was a little reluctant about making the purchase and paying $5000 for a hunting dog sight unseen is not a common practice for a investment consultant like me. Nevertheless, I will say buying Dallas was the right decision, after all our phone tags, I’m glad I picked up the phone one last time.
Having purchased many bird dogs in the past, I have to say Dallas is the first dog that is properly trained, we still can’t get over how well he behaves in the field and truly made the outings much more enjoyable. I just want to say I appreciate the opportunity for a dog of this caliber, you are a first class individual everything they said about you is true.

Sincerely,

Mark Wright

Thanks Steve! We wish you a Merry Christmas. Apparently, we have the smartest puppy anyone has ever seen; but, I'm sure that doesn't surprise you. She's learning fast and continues to be a comic part of our family (stealing socks, carrying bottles in her mouth, etc.) We truly love her. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful addition to our family!

Steve runs a well respected operation and offers world class bird dogs. Growing up in Georgia, quail hunting is a way of life. I have had many pointers and setters in my lifetime and these English pointers I purchased from Godfather Gundogs are the most well trained bird dogs in my 31 years of quail hunting, I highly recommend his dogs and his service.
