We here at Southern Stryker Gun Dogs take a lot of PRIDE into breeding our dogs. Unlike most other kennels (breeding mainly for a profit), we are breeding for a true purpose. Every breeding is extensively thought out about and planned months to years in advance. Each pairing is made because we want to add a puppy off of that particular cross into our breeding program. You will see us keep a puppy from every litter.
Prices are based on the titles of the parents, size of the litter and based off of previous offspring of those dogs. We normally will save first pick male & female off of every breeding. This way we can choose whichever puppy we want when the time comes. Picks on all litter aren't made until 6-7 weeks old.
We don't give a particular "pick order" to those purchasing a puppy. You are guaranteed a spot based on your application in order it was received. Southern Stryker Gun Dogs will pick the puppy you receive based on the best fit for what you are looking for.
Puppies are sold on limited registration. However, the option to purchase full registration at 8 weeks old is also available. We will need to know at time of purchase if you want limited or full registration. As that helps us determine whether you get a "breeding prospect" or not.
All of our puppies come with a 24-month health guarantee.
All of our puppies are born and raised in our house. We are very hands on with all our puppies from early on. We do ENS (Early Neuroglial Stimulation) & ESI (Early Scent Introduction) with all puppies. We litter box train all of our puppies, which helps them adjust to potty training. Starting at 6 weeks, we will start crate training the pups. (DISCLAIMER: You will not be getting a fully potty trained & crate trained puppy at 8 weeks old. We just expose them, so it isn't so traumatizing when they leave).
Puppies are all microchipped with AKC Reunite. Puppies will all go home with a small bag of food and a small "go home" bag full of goodies to help your pup adjust.
All puppies purchased from our kennel are offered discounted pricing for the Gun Dog program, Hunt Test program or field trial program from our kennel. Also, puppies that are sent off to our Field Trial Pro will be given benefits as well.
Please note that "fox red" is a shade of Yellow. You will NOT be refunded on your deposit if you decide that you want a "red" puppy and get a lighter shade of yellow. You are purchasing a dog from us based off of the pedigree and pairing. Color is NOT a factor when choosing a puppy.
Pricing of Puppies vary based on the titles of the dogs at the time of breeding. Pricing is subject to change at any time due to litter size, complications in the pregnancy/whelping or higher accomplished titles than originally anticipated.
