Welcome to 6R Upland Kennels, the home of Moesgaard's German Shorthaired Pointers, Yes its true the bloodline is not dead and gone, it is alive and well in my back yard, All of my studs and most of my females are recent decendents of the Moesgaard line. This is a picture of Duece out hunting this fall pointing a bird from 30 yards away just showing off his cannon of a nose. We offer Moesgaard's German Shorthaired Pointers, Pups , Started Dogs, Finished Dogs, Dog Training, Guided Hunts on over 12,000 private Acres in central Iowa. Our dogs bloodlines have been around for over 60 years with Dams and Sires in the pedigree's going all the way back to Fieldacres Ib and Fieldacres Amy. Darrel Keenan took alot of pride in this bloodline and I have taken what he taught me and continued to produce high quality hunting dogs. With our new kennel we have built we are able to trian more dogs now, if you are interested in a small family kennel where the dogs get alot of one on one handling then we are the kennel you have been looking for. We have 600 acres of CRP to train in and raise the birds needed to have your dog working the way you want it to. Our training is done to your expectations not ours. All our dogs love attention and only want to please their owner, So if you are looking for a life long friend and a breeder and trainer that is available to answer your questions give us a call you will not be disapointed. All of our puppies come with a 2 year health guarentee but being in the dog business as long as we have we have never had a dog come back with any health issues we have never had to worry about all the tests for hips, eyes or joint defects we stand behind every dog we sale and always make sure our customers are 100% satisified. Duece, Ajax, Angel and Tipper have completed their Junior Hunt titles. We have added a line of Brittany's to our kennel and are sure you will find the same high quaility in them you have come to expect from 6R Upland Kennels.

Chris,
Attached find a few photos of Molly. I thought you might like to see how she turned out. She just turned four years old and has developed into an outstanding hunter and family pet. Couldn’t ask for a better dog. She absolutely lives to hunt. The natural hunting instinct is abundant in this bloodline and was easy to further develop through training. Watching her lock up and hold on a bird is a thing of beauty! I look forward to purchasing another of your dogs in the near future.

Hey Chris wanted to drop in now that I see Dakota's pups are up. I will tell everyone here and now that you will find no better dogs than ones you are looking at. Chris is the real deal when it come to German Shorthairs he takes his dogs and hunting serious. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris and his better half Tamara four years ago and took Dakota home from him. There is no finer dog than Dakota, he is a pleasure to have in the house and is amazing to watch in the field, his points are amazing to watch, sometime he locks up on point so tight I thinks he is going to break his neck. I will tell you a story, when I was in South Carolina I would turn him out on my hunting lease while I was working, one blast of the whistle he was always back in 30 seconds or less, it always amazed my friends they could never understand how I could let him go for an hour or more and never lay eyes on him and he would stay that close. I always told them good breeding and he loves me. Well folks that is just it GSP's don't just obey their owners they love them. Well I will wrap this up by telling ya Chris and Tamara are not not just "breeders" they are some of the finest people I have had the pleasure to know. I am currently stationed in Sasebo Japan on my twilight tour (20 years) and Chris offered, now you remember I said offered to watch Dakota for a short period of time before I was able to get him over here. Well as is the norm in military life it didn't work out so Chris has been watching him ever since. I have had to come up with creative ways to repay the favor to him, but if there is a kennel that supports the military it is 6R. In closing Chris is not a dog salesman but a friend that you will be proud to have and in the deal you will get a dog that is unmatched, I have always enjoyed my hunts and conversations with him long after the sale was done. If you happen to miss one of Dakota's puppies I am sorry but they will be the best of the best, oh well the rest will just be the best of course.

My son Jason & I purchased Beau from Chris in Feb,2011. Beau was our first ever GSP. I became so interested in the breed, especially Chris' dogs that I purchased Rhett in June, 2011. Beau & Rhett are half brothers both sired by A-jax. They both are doing very well in the field thanks to Chris for all his help with training. I met Chris for the first time at the Sportsman's Show at the state fairgrounds in Des Moines in Jan.,2011. He has been very helpful with everything. I recently hunted with Chris,Deuce & A-jax. It was awesome to see our Beau & Rhett working in the field with their sire & grandsire. I can truly say that I have found a great GSP breeder, trainer, and most of all a friend. Thanks for everything, Chris!

After being raised with labs, my family purchased our first GSP from 6R Upland Kennels last December. I have never been so impressed with a trainer/breeder. Chris Riddle not only has an amazing training capability, but he has a real passion for his line and true love for his dogs. This is not just a business to him. We could not love our dog more. He obtained his Junior Hunter Certification this weekend with Chris in Iowa. Thank You Chris, we love Trey!!

Chris-
I cant believe the demeanor and instinct of this dog- She is phenomenal.
Ellie will point a bird wing on a fishing pole and even hold the point until I come in and release her-
I mean she is only 8 weeks old, incredible.
Her personality is great, very brief moments of hyper activity but for the most part, calm as can be.
I just could not be happier, you are breeding some awesome dogs over there Chris, keep up the good work!!

Chris,
Just an update on Cooper.

What a puppy, learns fast and has a nose unmatched by any pup I've ever had.
Of course this is Katies dog but dad will help in the training. He gonna give us a reason to hunt upland more than waterfowl in the years to come.

He gets along with all the other dogs but the cat is still trying hard. LOL
He's going in for his 12week shots and check soon so take care and thanks again for everything.

Chris,
It didn't take Cooper long to weedle his way into our hearts and lives. True to his breed he has an inquisitive spirit and active nose! He is bonding with Katie and runs to her when she gets home from Cross Country practice. Chester (our Lab) is doing well with him but Lucy (English Setter) is a little tentative. She is used to being queen bee so she needs more time to adjust. Gerry is going to put a portable day pen next to her kennel and run so they can be next to each other for an hour or two a day. I think our cat, however, is still hiding under the bed! Funny to see 25 lbs of feline afraid of 2 lbs of puppy!

Cooper is going for a puppy meet and greet with his new Vet today. They are excited to meet him because they don't have any GSP's in their practice. Everything is fine with him..just like to socialize him with the Vet so Cooper doesn't associate him with just shots and poking and prodding. They board our animals from time to time too.

Tomorrow, Cooper is going to meet Katie's Cross Country Team and watch her run.

We are taking Cooper with us on our vacation up north next week. We spend the week before Labor Day with friends who own a Mom and Pop type resort on Leech Lake. They are excited to meet Cooper. We 're leaving the other dogs home so Cooper won't be too overwhelmed.

Katie is just blossoming with her new responsibilities with Cooper. She worries and frets and is hoping she will have him ready to come to Game Fair next year to show you your decision to give her a puppy was a good one. She was so impressed with Duece and is hoping she can help Cooper be half the dog he is! Thank you for giving her this opportunity. It means so much to us to see her focus like this on something she can call her own. She dearly loves that little guy!

My husband and I bought our dog Remi from Chris when he was about 3
months old, but due to us moving we asked if we could pick him up when
he was 4 months old. He didn't hesitate to accommodate our needs with
bringing him home and even started the crate training for us. Chris
is awesome, he knows his dogs and knows their temperament and
personality. We wanted a dog that could be inside/outside and also
hunt. Chris brought us a few puppies to see whose temperament matched
what we were looking for plus one that was geared to being outside
only for contrast. Remi is almost one year old now and we could not
be happier. He is super intelligent and obedient in the house. He
has never chewed on anything that was not his. He learns commands
quickly, sometimes even on one repetition. Outside he works so hard
to please, and never wants to stop, whether it is fetching a ball or
searching for scented decoys. We brought him back to Chris for a 6
week training session, and Chris said he will make a great bird dog.
We are bringing him back for a refresher while we are on vacation, and
are excited to see how he will do his first hunting season.
Everywhere we go people are always commenting on how calm he is for
his age and how well behaved he is... and we always tell him that it
started with his genetics. Don't hesitate to get on one of Chris's
dogs!

Thanks for everything!

Hey Chris, I saw you had a repeat breeding of Willy and Ellie. As you know I got a setter (Molly) from you out of their first breeding and wanted to give you a quick update. She is hunting hard and pointing well. I entered her in a american field horse back trial this spring and she placed 3rd in the derby (as a puppy) finding more birds than any other dog that day period. She followed that up by placing first in puppy stake the following day. She beat a lot of good pointers and shorthairs both days and is a very fast stylish dog!


I just wanted to let you know about how your how happy I am with her, currently she is in Montana at summer camp learning about wild Sharptail and Pheasant and learning to handle herself off horseback and getting ready for the fall hunting season. She loves birds and so far has pointed and had shot over her ruffed grouse, sharptail, huns, pheasant, chukar and quail - well done Chris!

Are you planning on breeding them again sometime?

I purchased one of your pups last year and he has been great, hunted
last season, and just got a junior hunt test title yesterday, he is
everything you promised when we discussed purchasing a pup. Thanks
again. By the way his name is Full Throttle Fearless Chupa. I am looking
forward to entering him in the Seniors.
