October 25 - I had made reservations to Lemp Mansion for my birthday dinner with 7 family members. The night before two daughters were on the internet looking for German Short Hair Pointers for my husband who has wanted one for a long time. We had to put our chocolate lab to sleep a couple of months ago she was 15 years old (she had a good long life) and we have two mini dachshunds also at home. Our oldest daughter found Birddog Crazy Kennels around 11:30 pm on Saturdday night. So Sunday morning I showed my husband the sight and called Daniel. He was very helpful and knowledgeable on this breed and others. To make a long story short my husband decided at around 2pm he definitely wanted to drive to Sedalia Missouri from St. Charles Missouri (3 hour drive) and see the puppies. So I cancelled the dinner reservations and we (all 7 of us) took a road trip at 3pm on Sunday afternoon. Daniel was very accommodating meeting us at the last minute. We were very impressed - everything was very clean and we meet the mom and dad. All the puppies were so cute. From the pictures on the internet my husband spotted male puppy # 2 which is now named Gunner right away and that was it. Gunner has been the best puppy he was being potty trained by a doggie door and we have never had to use puppy pads and only had a couple of accidents which I feel were our bad not his. Everyone who sees him just loves him. He and our male dachshund have so much fun playing. We would recommend Birddog Crazy Kennels anytime. So we headed home and stopped in Columbia Missouri to see our middle daugther who is in college, her and her friends loved him. Got home around 11pm had to work in the morning. Stayed up for a while to hang out with Gunner. My husband owns his own company so Gunner goes to work with him everyday which is great.

We purchased Katy, a black lab from Daniel two years ago. Daniel has helped us in her training and she has done very well. She is a very intelligent and personable dog that we love very much...

Buzz surprised me with puppy,"Doc"...From day one he has been the best Choc.Lab ever! We have been so pleased with him in evey way. At 2 mths people were amazed at how well he was obeying commands. He is swimming and retrieving well. (Labs are like children, if you parent them well you will not have too much trouble with them...)He is one of the best looking Labs we have seen....Most Importantly Daniel was/is by our side before, during, and always.

Thank you Daniel!

Our first dog was a little fat Beagle, named Tippy. She was a family dog who grew up with our Sons and followed us to the Ozarks. She had little short legs, was petrified of the water and just shook when on the boat. She passed on 2 years ago. We debated about getting another dog and had settled on a Lab. My wife’s a Pharmacist in the Lake area and filled in at the Pharmacy in Laurie. A number of her friends kept talking about Daniel’s Labs, how great they were, how smart, etc. We finally met up with Daniel on a Saturday afternoon almost a year ago. He brought Molly and Rosie, 2 black labs just bursting with energy, to meet us. We had never seen two more beautiful dogs. Their coats just glistened in the sun and they loved the water. We had a long talk with Daniel and told him what we were looking for. Not a hunting dog, but a companion. And it had to be black. He told us Molly should be coming into heat in July/August. The excitement started building. As Sharon (my wife) spent more time in Laurie, working at the Pharmacy, we continued to hear about Daniels dogs and how lucky we were to be getting one. We waited and waited, Molly proved to be a stubborn mother to be. When she finally decided it was time to start her new litter excitement prevailed! Now it was not going to be a Christmas puppy, but an Easter puppy. And on Valentines day, somewhere around midnight, Jack was born. We were fortunate to be returning to the Lake area from Kansas City and stopped by the Kennel to see. Molly gave us quite a problem though, she had 3 black male puppies and my wife wanted all of them! We picked Jack up, 5 weeks later. He’s already proven to be smart, has a beautiful coat and all of the traditional earmarks of a fantastic lab. He’s already got the ‘Sit’ command figured out and we’re working on Shake. He’s certainly got all of the traits of a puppy, everything in the house is a chew toy (including the cat) and he runs until he falls over then starts all over again. He rearranged our bedroom for us and has his own area now. He’s already taking to training with a variety of tricks (sit, shake, roll-over, stay, etc). We’d agree with earlier comments about Daniel and his family of Labs, they are all beautiful, intelligent and there’s never a dull moment when they’re around! I’m pretty sure our Persian cat does not entirely share our excitement with the new puppy, but we’re working on that! We’re looking forward to the youth Jack keeps in our lives as we take him swimming and boating with us! We just have to get that sidecar for our Harley……

We recently brought home the largest black male pup out of Daniels Molly and our Moose. He is a really nice looking pup, great with our 5 yr old and other dogs, and we will be starting him on ducks and pigeons soon. Thanks Daniel for all of the hard work and help you have given us in the past with this litter and all of ours as well. We really appreciate all that you do.

I can't believe how pleased I am with the puppy I received from Daniel. I had high expectations and hopes for a new hunting companion, and I am confident that my new little "Scout" will exceed those hopes beyond my imagination. Daniel was excellent through the whole process. It gave me great comfort to know that he works for a Veterinarian and he LOVES his dogs! I was also pleasantly surprised to find out the Stud of my puppy is a JH on his way to becoming an MH. If you are looking for a great breeder, you've found the right guy.

I bought a male GSP back at the very end of december and waited awhile to post a testimonial because I wanted to give the dog time to mature a little to really see what he was going to turn out like..Gus is one of the smartest dogs I've ever seen. He has a great nose and once he has a scent he won't quit!! He has captured a special place in my heart where he will live forever!!

We had to put our dog down in 2004 after 13 years. It was the worse day of our lives. Dan had taken care of our"Springsteen" a Husky-Malmute mix when we moved to the Ozarks, always loving him as much as we did. He kept telling us we needed a puppy of his to take "Springers" place and this year we did agree to try another puppy. Of course Dan's Molly was going to have puppies so we told him we wanted one. Dan even knew " Our Puppy" would never hunt for us, he would just be a house dog and swim with us in the lake but he did not care. We wanted a Yellow Lab and I could not see how Dan's Black Molly was ever going to have a Yellow Lab puppy because Dad was Chocolate. Well...Guess what? On Valentines Day she had two yellow puppies along with black and chocolate.We picked up our little "Sparky" last Tues..3/24/08. He is so sweet and so much fun. He is a smart puppy and we are looking forward to growing old together.One thing that we noticed about Dan is that he loves his dogs and they love him.. and that comes out in his puppies.They are his children and he wants them to go to good homes and I am glad he chose us as someone he could trust to give his puppy a good home.
We Love "Sparky" very much and appreciate Dan's expertise in his dogs. Thanks,Dan

Dan was very helpful with picking our little one! We are from Michigan and looked all over and for many months to find a good breeder. Dan was very knowledgable about the breed and we are very happy we made the trip to pick up our pup. His concern for good homes for the litter shows and we have recommended Birddog Crazy Kennels to others with great confidence.

I have been breeding and training birddogs for nearly 15 years and my experience with Daniel couldn't have been any better. I recently purchased a GSP from Daniel and he has been extremly helpful. He is very connected to his pups and has continued to check in periodically. Daniel is a very honest and sincere person who I can see myself doing business again down the road.

Daniel was helping a family find homes for German Shorthair Pointers. I looked at a number of breeders across the U.S. and talked to some of the most well know breeders in my hunt for the perfect dog. I looked for around 6 weeks to find a dog that would fit in our family as well as the needs of the family. One of the issues I was having was getting people to return calls, communicate through e-mail, explain the history of the pedigrees for the parents, and send pictures. Daniel was the most helpful and knowledgeable about the family that I spoke to. He answered all of my questions and returned calls when he said he would. I’m in middle TN and he is located in middle MO and when buying a dog over 600 miles from home you need to know that the information you are getting is correct and trusted. Daniel was very honest about the complete process and left nothing unanswered. He can be trusted completely in helping you find a dog. If it is one of his own or a person that he knows that he is helping, you will get what he tells you are getting.

The puppy we selected was just over 6 weeks old, he was almost potty trained when we picked him up from the family. The dog was already getting trained on a “doggie door.” He is also already starting to point, which is a sign of both the bloodline and breeding. He has a wonderful disposition and is a great addition to our family. Please feel free to contact me if you need a reference on Daniel and the services he offers. You will not be let down with your new pet or the way he conducts business.

We have known Daniel for many years. He was always after us to buy one of his pups. When Daniel brought our Lab "Jetsie" to us at about 5 weeks and put her in our arms well let's just say it was love at first sight. Daniel has been so important in the whole training aspect with Jetsie. Daniel has helped us and answered any and all questions that we have ever had. He knows Dogs. We never had a hunting dog prior to Jetsie. Daniel taught us what we needed to know as far as training a gun dog. By 6 mos. old Jetsie was swimming and retrieving and at 9 mos. she was on her first actual hunt. She watched her momma retrieve the first dove and that was all she wrote. She retrieved like she had been doing it for years. At 11 mos she was retrieving Ducks and Geese. She has also hunted Pheasants and Chuckers. She is wonderful. I used to breed Dobermans and they are very intelligent dogs however I must say that Jetsie is the smartest dog I have ever owned. She has approx. 50 different toys (I know she is spoiled) but each toy has a name and she know each one of them by name. Jetsie is almost 3 years old now and getting ready to have pups of her own. Again Daniel has been there helping us locate a great dog to breed to telling us what we needed to consider in choosing a dog. Yesterday I was informed that he wants to be there when she has her pups He gave me a list of items to have on hand including his Hot Cocoa. If you are considering purchasing a Quality Lab, you have no further to look than Birddog Crazy Kennels. As a side note, we have friends that bought one of Jetsie's Litter mates. Sasha too is a wonderful dog. They do not hunt her however she could. She is super intelligent also loves to swim and is a super retriever. They are content with having her as a family dog, both girls are so sweet and loving and are a big part of our families.

We bought Heidi in March when she was 7 weeks old. She is a beautiful Black Lab, with a wonderful disposition. She is now 4 months old and retrieving bumpers from water and land very well. She also works on commands with a whistle. We are very pleased with her. She is a wonderful pet and hunter. Thank You Daniel

Just picked up our 9-week old black lab, Walter. He is a GREAT looking puppy and is already catching on to the crate / house training. Daniel was excellent the entire process, kept us up to speed on the growth of the puppy and was always very responsive and helpful!

---

I've had my Olivia Otter Dog for two weeks now and she is amazing. I've always had Labradors and have gotten them for all sorts of different breeders. I found Daniel to be very knowledgable about the breed. His breeding practices and testing of known issues with the breed will surely reduce the likelihood of a problem with his dogs as well as keeping the breed the best it can be. I'd recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking for a quality dog.

---

I picked up Sage a week ago. He is better than i had expected. The dog looks amazing, between his build and his coat. When I take him for walks I do not need a leash, Sage allready follows me. He does not run off, and when I stop he goes right in between my feet and sits down. I could not be happier.

---

I recently got my pup from Daniel, I have got to say, I have been amazed on how well mannered and trainable my pup is. This is the second week that my pup, Zero, has been home and he is already house broken and learning to retrieve (at 8 weeks). I give Daniel props on his recent litter, by far one of the smartest dogs that I have had.

---

I found Daniel's internet page a couple of months ago while looking for a pup and gave him a call. He has been extremely helpful and gave me updates on my puppy regular as clockwork. I picked up my lab pup saturday and couldn't be happier. Both Daniel and the puppy are even better than I expected. I'm very happy that I made that call. Bo has already made himself an integeral part of the family.

---

I did not know Daniel until the day I bought a dog from him. I had lost my 10 year old German Shorthair the day before and was sick about it. I found Daniels name on the internet and called him. I told him what I was looking for in a GSP. He picked the dog out for me from a litter and I bought the dog sight unseen. I have had many many hunting dogs in my lifetime. The dog that Daniel picked out for me is by far the smartest dog that I have ever owned. He is everything that I asked for and more.

I just purchased a lab pup for Mr. Williams, "Pitch" is only 10 weeks old and is already showing signs of his breading. He is a fast learner with a even better dispedition.

He was deffinetly worth the 18 drive from the coast.

Thank You Mr. Williams

We have know Daniel of Birddog Crazy Kennels for a long time. His knowledge and love of dogs is unlimited. "Star" our 10 month Black Labrador has been a true blessing for us. She is full of love and very eager to please. I don't know what we would do without her. She was swimming at 10 weeks, retrieving at 3 months - hunting seems to be second nature to her. If you are looking for a quality dog, Daniel/Birddog Crazy Kennels will be sure to please.

Daniel is like a big teddy bear!! he is very knowledgable and helpful in all aspects of his puppies. My husband and I purchased a wonderful English Setter we named "HOYT" and he is so smart. We would recommend his kennel to everyone.

Purchased English Setter pup from Dan and at 7 months old the pup was pointing and retrieving birds. Pup has great nose and disposition.

We have a 10 month old black Labrador we purchased from Dan Williams, the owner of Birddog Crazy Kennels. This is our third black Labrador we have raised. All of our labs were absolutely wonderful dogs but our little 10 month old Gracie is probably the most affectionate and certainly one of the smartest dogs we have ever owned. We have been dealing with Mr. Willliams for many years seeking his advice on training and the care of our former labs. If you would look in the dictionary under, "Dog People", you would find Dan Williams name listed there. We highly recommend his kennel.

I love Suzie. She is very playful and learns very quickly. I got her on January 12, 2008, and we had her coming to us and sitting on command. She learns new commands in no time at all. I love how nice Daniel was. I would definately referr anyone to him to get a bird dog of their dreams.
