Gun Dog Breeder Reviews for Big D Kennels

I was in the market for a bird dog when I decided on a GSP and I ran across Roy and went to his location to look at his puppies. I decided on a female which I named Ellie Mae. She has been the best dog at 6 months old she was pointing birds and by 7 months I was shooting birds over her. I would highly recommend Big D Kennels.

Having puppy fever for so long, I finally decided to jump the gun and look for another one so my sweet baby lab would have a friend. I never thought I would have the experience I had with my short notice purchase of one of Roy's English Setters. He was so nice, kind, informative, and let my lab play with the pups before I made my decision, which was also after a two and a half hour morning drive where I arrived way earlier than I had anticipated. Milo has been the absolute perfect match to add to our little family. I have never been more pleased with this decision. Thank you for everything, Roy!

Made the drive today to pick up our male setter pup.
It was a pleasure meeting Roy and his wife.
The only issue we had was leaving with only one dog.
We wish Roy all the best with his breeding, and thanks again for a great pup.
I would more than recomend Big D kennels if your in the market for a gun dog.

We have had such a great experience with Roy and Big D Kennels. I purchased a Brittany puppy for my 21 year-old son and Roy made it such an easy, no-hassle transaction. Puppy Tucker "Tuck" is smart, friendly, easy-going, curious, and a real joy to be around! He's a wonderful traveler, likes his crate, and sleeps so well at night. Thank you, Roy, for helping make our family Christmas so special. We love our Tuck!

We purchased a Brittany pup from Roy on July 16th and it was a great experience. I had a puppy lined up with another breeder but she did not keep her word and sold it someone else. I was scrambling to find a pup because my 3 boys were expecting their first puppy to come home. I came across Roy's add on GunDogBreeders.com and called him. Roy was willing to help and drove 3 hours to meet me (I drove 6 hours). Roy took the time to answer all my questions and gave lots of advice on training our dog. Her name is Penny and we could not be happier. She is healthy, energetic, smart and plays well with my three sons. I think it was a blessing that Thorn Bottom Kennels back doored me. I highly recommend Big D Kennels. Roy Meyers is as good a man as you'll ever meet. Thanks you Roy.

Just got our new Brittany from Big D kennels. Absolutely the best experience I could possibly imagine. Picked her up at the airport with zero trouble. She is doing great and is a great little pup. HIGHLY recommend Big D Kennels. Without a doubt will look his way again.

I bought a Brittany puppy from Mr Meyer in April 2012. He's been a great choice for my 9 year old son's first dog. I take this dog many places and I get a lot of people stopping me asking about this good looking dog. You can tell he's from good stock!

I bought a Brittany from Roy this summer, and she pointed a wing instinctively at 3 months old, retrieved with little coaxing, showed no gun shyness, and today at 6 months old I shot my first bird over her in her first official day in the field and she found and pointed the very first bird. This is my first attempt at training my own bird dog, so breeding is a huge part of my dog and my own success. Lady is also great with my 1 year old son and all other dogs. If you are looking for a gun dog, Roy is unmistakably the first and last place to look for a dog with a strong foundation.

Roy shipped our Brittany pup, Moxie, from Tennessee to Maine last November. She has been an excellent addition to the family. Very smart, energetic, and friendly! She plays well with out 10 y/o Welsh Springer, and loves kids. She doesn't mind our long car rides to camp, and is going to be an excellent hunting dog.

Roy was completely professional, and made our local breeders look like a joke! Moxie arrived comfy in her kennel, unsedated, with a little stuffed animal (froggy) that she still loves and carries around the house. We could not be happier and would recommend Roy to anyone who asked.

I purchased an english setter pup from Roy a few months ago and let me tell you for a 3 month old pup i could not ask for a better dog. This line of setters is the best in the buisness and I am completly pleased with my new setter, Our Little Lady.

Mr. Meyer showed a very good knowledge of the dogs that he bred and also showed that he had a real passion for the dogs. The Brittany that I purchased from Mr. Meyer is a very handsome, smart dog and is going to be a very good hunter and family dog.

I purchased an American Brittany from Roy Meyer (who drove 2 hours, in order to meet me half way!) and my puppy is WONDERFUL! He is sooo sweet and friendly! Roy and his grandchildren did a GREAT job socializing him. He is very curious, interested in everything you do, and not shy in any way about how you handle him! His personality is very outgoing, but not hyper at all. In fact, I turned the vacuum on and he CAME running (I guess to see what the noise was!) I am very pleased with my puppy and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Roy Meyer's dogs. Thank you, Roy!

I saw my Maggie in Big D's ad and spoke with Roy about meeting to pick her up. Roy accomidated me and saved me a big part of the drive. When I saw her I was not disappointed and the joy has not stopped. Now I own a decendant of NLB and look forward to many years of hunting her. Thanks Roy . I highly reccommend Big D Kennels if you are looking to buy a puppy

My 4 month old GSP from Big D Little Stormey and Dixie is the BEST dog I've ever owned. We picked Sam Beau out at 2 days old after seeing his beautiful markings and solid chocolate head. Roy Meyer let us visit him every week until we were allowed to bring him home. Roy is the BEST of the BEST. A real class act who knows how to raise great hunting dogs.
Roy, cant thank you enough for my sweet Sam Beau. He's truly the best dog I've ever owned. I get compliments on him EVERY day.
Happy Hunting!

The female pup that I bought from you out of Diamonds Tricky Dick and Big D's Little Katie is now 5 months old. I took her to the woods for her first training and she did great. She is a natural bird finder and is not afraid to get in the thickest cover we found. I have no regreats of purchasing this pup. Roy is very easy to deal with. Thanks alot. Travis Cochran

Roy,
I took the pup that I bought from you out of Diamonds Tricky Dick and Big Ds Little Katie to the woods this past weekend. I was amazed at how this dog hunted. She worked the cover better than two older dogs that were there and found birds they didn't at 5 months old!!!! I never would have beleived it if I had not seen it. Thanks Alot,

We purchased our German Shorthair from Roy and Big D Kennels on July 14th. We purchased her site unseen (well from the web pics) and she was just a sweet and gorgeous as the pictures!! We have had her for two weeks now in that time, she has learned to fetch, sit and stay, come on command, stop on command, she kennels (most of the time) and of course loves to run and play. My husband had her pointing the first full day that we had her!! She is an absolutely amazing dog!! Her disposition and tempermant are wonderful. She loves to play with our older dog and three cats (they are not as thrilled about it as she is though).

Since we live in Central Kentucky and Roy in Tennessee, I worried that we might have trouble making arrangements to pick her up. Roy was great and even offered to bring her all the way to my house (about a 4 hour drive).

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Roy and Big D Kennels. If you are looking for a new family member......I highly recommend him!!

I purchased a German Shorthaired Pointer from Roy about nine months ago. My kids named her Belle. She is an awesome dog! She has great temperament with children and other dogs. I have been field training her for the past couple months. She has a GREAT nose and is working wonderfully hunting quail. I could not be happier with my new hunting companion and member of the family.

Roy worked with me picking the right dog and assisted with delivery. He is an honest man that knows the business of raising good dogs.

Met Roy and pickup a male GSP in September. He is now almost 6 months old. Great puppy just as advertised. Already pointing and retrieving. Very satisfied, wonderful dog. Thanks Roy.

Picked my English setter pup up a week ago. Let me say that this little guy has impressed me so far. He is pointing a grouse tail with a very stylish point and will actually hold it for several seconds before trying to get it. And to be a natural retriever. He is retrieving a frozen quail to hand everytime. You can tell Roy has a great love for his dogs and it shows thru his top of the line dogs. I will be buying again from Big D Kennels.

Our Big D Kennel pup has to be one of the greatest dogs ever. He has a great nose, great common sense,and so easy to train. Cooper is everything we could have wanted in a GSHP. Would encourage anyone looking for a great dog to start here! J Whitaker

I purchased a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy from Big D Kennels about 2 years ago (She was born March 6, 2007). She is a great dog-healthy, happy and beautiful! I would purchase from this kennel again.
