We got Browning when he was 5 months old in March 2012. Melissa was great in the information she provided before we got Browning. He's tested our patience a time or two and Melissa was and has always been helpful in offering suggestions which have all worked great. I would highly recommend Ariels Kennels for anyone looking for a GSP.

I want to thank Melissa and Ariels Kennels for being a responsible breeder of GSP's. Their dedication to the breed and their passion is very evident in the great dogs they put out. I have been fortunate to have a male (Harvey) from them.
From the day I picked him up his natural field abilities have been evident, he was retrieving and pointing right away. I grew up in the greatest upland bird state in the US-South Dakota and have been fortunate to hunt behind several labs and English Setters. Harvey was no slouch on his first trip to the fields of South Dakota. After getting his first Jackrabbit "chase" out him, he was a natural, quartering 20-30 in front of me, got on scents and made a retrieve on his first day. Things progressed very rapidly over the week, and he was like a seasoned vet by the end. This was mostly due to Melissa and Ariels Kennels working with him while he was there. They take great pride in their dogs, and it definitely shows. Everyone I take Harvey I receive comments about how beautiful, graceful and fast he is. Not to mention his great disposition around others. Harvey is an excellent house dog too, and that is a huge factor in calling him a great dog, as he spends 90% of his time as a house/family dog. Very loyal, true, calm around kids and other dogs. Again a tribute to the breeding program at Ariels Kennels! GSP's do however need attention and need to be properly exercised to truly experience the greatness of this breed.
My next GSP will come from Ariels Kennels!

Hi Melissa,

Hanna (formerly "Fancy" from your F litter last March) and I just got back from her first Pheasant Hunt in South Dakota! She did absolutely great, she has such a nice disposition and so much instinct. She was a hit with everyone at our Motel excited to hear about how she did on our 5 day hunt.

A brief roll up, by the end of day one she was quartering, checking in and scent trailing Birds. Day two she made her 1st Point, and honored another dogs point. Day three she pointed and retrieved two Pheasants, and by day four she was marking dead birds where they fell and working dead birds. She was great. My uncle, who has raised and trained bird dogs all of his life, had a great hunt just watching her hit each step on her way to being a great bird dog.

Thanks so much. Great instinct and breeding, she went from a yard worked dog to a good hunter on her first trip out. Would have never limited out without her there!

We are planning another hunt in December. I'll send another pic and an update when we return.

Take care,
Mike Benton

We had a wonderful experience buying our puppy Tucker from Melissa and Jason. My husband picked out our puppy from the website but since he is deployed my 3 yr old and I went to get Tucker. I do not know much about owning a dog so Melissa and Jason both were very patient with me explaining all I needed to know and even went to WalMart with me to show everything that I needed for the pup and things to avoid as well. We brought Tucker home and could not be happier with him; he is such a wonderful and well behaved dog. Melissa could not be more patient with me, she really is a saint, and I call her a few times a day to ask her many questions that come up regarding our dog. She is very knowledgeable about her dogs always willing to help and she is even recommending the trainer for our pup when my husband goes to Kansas. If you or anyone you know is thinking about getting a family dog you will not go wrong with GSP and you cannot ask for a better breeder then Ariel’s Kennels. Incredible experience and a great pup.

The owners of Ariel's Kennels, Melissa & Jason, are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Not only did I purchase a GSP from them, they offered to train my dog at a discount. I also made new friends to hunt with.

I highly recommend them. 5++!

Hello,

I want to leave a quick note about my GREAT Experience with Ariels Kennels.

I am a breeder from the Midwest and was directed to Melissa with some questions I had as well as interest in puppies she had for sale.

Melissa has been more than accomodating in anwsering my questions. I've even converted my kennel over to her as my Webmaster, and had Melissa design a website for us as well.

We've had a super experience with Ariels Kennels, and would recommend anyone to Melissa for their next pup or started dog, and website!

Thanks again Melissa.

I purchased "Gregor" from Ariels Kennels shortly after he was born. Melissa and Jason kept us well informed during the 8 weeks, prior to picking him up May 10th. Both of them were very informative and very friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a GSP. Melissa had asked me to keep her informed on the growing process of our pup. And If I had any questions or concerns regarding our pup to freely contact them. I will being sending "Gregor" to them for bird training @ 9 months of age.

I purchased an eight week old GSP puppy from Melissa Rogers at Ariel's Kennels on 3/29/09. Throughout the weeks prior to the purchase Melissa has been a fountain of information and advice, even today, weeks after the puppy has come to his new home, I know I can come to her with any questions or doubts I may have regarding his care and health.
She has a true understanding of the breed, but most of all she cares deeply for her animals and is selective and careful in her breeding and training.
We are purchasing a second pup from Ariels Kennels as soon as it is weaned.

When I had to find a new home for my five year old GSP, Melissa stepped in to guide me through the whole process. She was a wonderful source of help and information. She worked quickly to help find a GREAT new home for my dog.

Her knowledge about the breed and experience with the dogs was evident through our entire communication. I would highly recommend A.K. to anyone!
