Killbuck Kennel - Ohio Pudelpointer Breeders

It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 years since we picked up our Buckley from Bill Athens up in Strongsville. What we’ve learned is you cannot ask for a better dog than what Bill produces. Buckley is a natural in the field and has an insatiable appetite for finding birds. He’s equally wonderful in the home, with a big personality to boot. I know I’m partial but Buckley also seems to be smartest dog I’ve ever encountered.

My 1.4 yr old female R breed, has been an excellent dog. I’m a NAVHDA Member and first time training a dog thanks to Bill. My female PP has been outstanding along with the NAVHDA members. My PP placed first prize in her natural ability test earlier this year
I hunt regularly over water 25Xs a year and hunt pheasants at least 6Xs a year. Outstanding ability in both scenarios from ducks to geese. Solid points on pheasants too.

Well, it's been 7 years now and I have to say my Killbuck's Yankee Bosco has been incredible. I'm a NAVHDA member but no professional trainer. Since day 1, Bosco took to water like no other dog I ever had - labs chessies, and goldens - and his upland work makes professional guides jealous. As a breed I thoroughly impressed. As for Bill Athens as a breeder, he's more interested in maintaining the breed and placing pups in the right hands than turning a quick buck.

Bill, keep doing what you're doing!!!!

After much research I purchased a Male Pudelpointer from Bill Athens and I would highly recommend his breedings. After owning all breeds of bird dogs for the last 40 years (English Pointers, Setters, GSP's, Vizsla's etc) I would suggest that my Chaco is as natural and versatile as I have ever seen. Having just passed his NAVDA NA test with a perfect 112 score I can't wait to see how he develops over the years.

My Rocky is a four year old pp from Bill Athens kennel. I can't say enough good things about Rocky. He's a star and I get nothing but complements on him.

I have a 4yo female from Bill and I can only say that I continue to be amazed by her every day. She is super enthusiastic in the field, she is a joy to hunt with and she is the best companion and friend that you could ask for. She has given me some of the best memories that I could have. Thanks Bill.

A very heart felt thanks to Bill for giving me the chance to have such a special friend and companion.

I have 2 Males from Killbucks Kennel,an 8 an 3 year old. They both are fantastic hunters and have retrived over 500 birds. There disire in the feild is unmatched and they love the water as well. I will be adding another male to my family soon and I can't imagine not buying from Killbuck's Kennel.

Bill and Linda are great people. Bill is interested in placing dogs -- not just selling them. My PP has been great and a dream to train and live with.

I have a Pudelpointer pup from Bill Athens. She is a strong pointer, reliable retreiver and excellnet tracker. Her coat is near perfect. She is a wonderful companion in the home. If you're looking for a top notch gun dog and companion, Killbuck's Kennel produces some of the finest Pudelpointers available.
