We purchased our first German Shorthaired Pointer from Larry last summer out of the ChubbsxGrace litter. He is the best dog we have ever had the pleasure of owning and has been a part of the family since day one! He was house broken in less than a month and that was with minimal accidents! We have taken him to obedience training and continue to teach him tricks and he is a very quick learner! Larry was very helpful and always went out of his way to answer questions and send pictures when we requested them! We searched for a breeder for quite a while and Larry seemed like a perfect fit for us; he was very hospitable and seemed to genuinely care about where his dogs ended up. Our puppy is the definition of quality GSP genes and we would recommend Larry's dogs to anyone who is interested! Thank you, Larry!

We have recently purchased a female GSP puppy out of "CHUBBS & LEXIE" from Larry and I can only say that it has been an absolute pleasure... We named her "BRISTOL" and she is already the best GSP I have ever had... She was literally pottie trained in the first 3 days of ownership... If she picks up everything this fast, she will be one hell of a bird dog in the field... Larry was very helpful and kept us up to date thru the whole process... An overall, wonderful experience... If you are looking for a GSP for a pet or dog in the field, CALL Larry today...

I just purchased two female English Pointer pups from Larry Mize on Dec. 17th 2010. They are beautiful lemon and white pointers. They were approximately 11-weeks old when I got them. They are already pointing quail wings. I enjoyed meeting Larry, he is honest and it is quite evident that he knows bird dogs and raises great looking puppies of all pointing breeds. It was a pleasure doing business with him. Thanks, Larry.

I purchased my first GSP from Larry Mize in October 2010. I cannnot adequately express my satisfaction with the pup as well as the excellent experience that I had doing business with Larry.

Larry is extremely learned in the sport of bird hunting and he breeds exceptional dogs.

I strongly recommend Old Hickory Kennels to anyone looking to purchase their next sporting dog.

We got our first English Setter from Larry Mize, on the fine recommendation of David Holt, and were very happy with our pup. At only 11 weeks he is learning all the basic commands and does them with a keen attitude. On our cross country hikes (we are not hunters, but trail ride with horses and need a smart, bold, and energetic dog who is not agressive, but can hold his own)he is well connected with us and excited about his work.
Josey (for the outlaw), is a gentle companion and a playful partner. We are very thankful to Mr. Mize for this lovely pup, and the opportunity to get to know English Setters.

I am an avid Grouse and Quail hunter; hunting several different states and terrains. I had been searching for a particular color and body shape for several months. After describing what I was looking for Larry sent a photo of a pup from his latest liiter matching my description exactly. I have trained several dogs for others and myself over the years and my GSP (Maggie)is by far the easiest dog that I have ever trained. Along with her drive to hunt, love for birds and great personality, she also has a tremendous amount of style!

Larry proved himself to be extremely honest and trustworthy. I look forward to purchasing another GSP after this hunting season from him.

I am the person who bought a pretty pup from Larry through NWTF donation to the Governors One Shot Turkey Hunt in Pulaski Tn.

I just wanted tell you how much my family and I are enjoying him, Prince Albert is his name and he is extremely smart and a super fast learner (Good Breeding).

He was retrieving and pointing at 13 weeks and now at 16-17 weeks he is doing GREAT!

This note is just to say when Larry said that his dogs know what to do when they are born, He is NOT kidding.

Thanx again Respectfully Robert Erath and Family

I bought my first bird dog from Larry and his friend David Holt(Spin Top Kennels) in October,2006 a GSP named Schmidt. I was looking for someone to train him when I started taking him to the field with some hunting buddies. From the first day all of buddies were envious. This dog absolutly trained himself. He started at 4 months and 6 months he was hunting with the BIG dogs. Thanks Larry and David

I presently own several dogs that came from Old Hickory Kennels, owned by Larry Mize.

I have two Black Magic Snake pointer pups, a setter pup from Ridge Runner Buster, three 1-2 y.o setters, and four GSP females.

I have bred my female setter to Ridge Runner Buster. I have also bred my GSP female June (twice),to Old Hickkory Smoke. I have gotten GREAT pups each time. In fact, I sold 11 pups from the last litter and had calls for at least 2 dozen more pups. Smoke is truly a GREAT producer of FINE birddogs.

I have found Mr. Larry Mize to be as HONEST and STRAIT-FORWARD as any person that I have EVER dealt with. I reccomend anyone using his stud dogs ...or purchasing a pup or trained dog from him.

I have enjoyed doing business with Mr. Mize and will continue to do business with him in the future. I respect a "good" dog man...with GOOD QUALITY BRED DOGS!
