About Copperhead Kennels
Copperhead Kennels is a small kennel in the heart of bird country. We are 45 minutes south west of Lincoln, NE. We have all german shorthair pointers that vary in color from liver/white, solid liver, liver/white ticked, solid black, black/white roan and black/white. We breed high quailty bird dogs that hunt and also make great family pets. Our kennel has 1 to 2 litters a year. All of our dogs are used to guide hunts in Nebraska and Kansas, as our own personal hunting dogs, and are proven hunters. Hunt testing is a way to keep us active with the dogs for more than the "hunting season." We now are running dogs in NSTRA as well.

Went on a recent Pheasant hunting trip in Kansas and Chad was our guide. Chads does a great job and his dogs are excellent hunters. I have hunted with alot of different people and alot of different dogs and Chads dogs are right there on top. Thanks for a great hunting trip Chad.

I had a great opportunity on a group hunt with Chad in Elder Glen, Kansas. I have never hunted birds or been around bird dogs. This was a great experience watching Chad and his group of dogs at work. Chad was committed to providing a safe experience for his dogs, while ensuring a quality hunt for us. As a novice bird hunter, Chad helped with my shooting mechanics and I was able to bring down three pheasants. Great time with great people and great dogs! Thank you Chad and Matt.

In November 2011 Chad was our guide on a Kansas pheasant hunt.
Hunting behind his dogs was a great experience.
all Chads dogs hunted hard and were great bird dogs.
It was exciting watching his dogs work beyond what you would expect from most dogs.
I would recommend one of Chads dogs to anyone wanting a dog to brag about.

I bought my Lily from Chad. She's gonna be a heck of a huntin dog. I've trained a few, and I know what to look for, and I'm liking what I'm seeing. She was pointing before I picked her up, she's got more drive than most pups, and at 9 or so mos. she honors like a champ. Chad is a good guy and is very professional and courteous. He has also helped me several times w/ information regarding info surrounding training supplies. I would and have recommended Chad/ Coppperhead Kennels for anyone who wants a hardworking, reliable pup.

i have used chad as a guild for 4plus years at my hunting lodge in north central Kansas, most of my repeat hunting guest are due to chads hard work but mostly because of his dogs i have never had a complant when groups call to book a hunt they will ask for chad as a guild every dog that he puts down makes my client's happy and willing to return year after year i always here talk at the supper table on how good his dogs are and some say the best they have ever hunted with check out on utube pheasant hunting in Kansas (Rader lodge) and see for your self there is a good pheasant hunt that shows some of chads dog work on it

I bought "Stella", one of the blk/wht females from the "Cruz x Shy" litter in May. Leon worked with her for a month before pheasant season and she has exceeded all my expectations! At 7 months, she points, retrieves, and hunts as hard as any of the mature dogs I've been hunting with. I think Stella is as stylish and pretty as any Shorthair too. Chad and Dana are very knowledgeable and helpful and you will enjoy the experience of buying and owning a Copperhead dog.

We bought our first GSP from Chad and Dana. She is the off spring of Cruse the dog pictured above. She is now seven months old and has quite the personality. She does have a sharp eye for birds and I can't wait until fall to test her in the fields. Her ability and natural instinct of pointing was in her right from the start.
Josey just got back from a month of training and all I can say is she must of paid attention for the difference we see in her is amazing. She came a long way which helped me out so much for I just got home from replacement knee surgery.
I know she will be a great hunter and has all ready added excitement to out household.
