What's Bluerock?
Bluerock Gundogs is a kennel that produces "blue collar" hunting dogs, with a rock solid foundation to help them in their training and relationship with their owner.
My desire with Bluerock Gundogs is to produce quality hunting dogs who are healthy, have good looks, and excellent trainability. There are a lot of kennels out there who offer a lot of options, it's my hope that I can provide the kind of dog that I would look for as not only a hunting companion but also a daily friend.
Health- What fun is a dog that is always requiring special treatment (Pills, special diet, physical limitations)? Through responsible breeding and health certifications we can help assure that you are able to enjoy the companionship of a dog without having to worry about some of the health issues historically found in some sporting breeds.
Looks- Some breeders try to sell you on the idea that when you're out hunting, looks don't matter. Well, they might be right to a point and call me shallow but looks matter to me. I like having a good looking dog, one that you can be proud of both in and out of the field.
Trainability- People think that if you buy a pup with amazing pedigree your going to end up with an amazing dog. I believe that pedigree is only one of several factors that indicate how your dog will take to formal training. Finding good pedigree hedges your bet that you will end up with a great dog. At the same time though, I think that if papers are all you look at, you will probably end up overlooking some great litters and overpaying for a dog. A dogs environment plays a significant role in developing your dogs abilities. Take the time to look at the parents of your potential puppies, look at their environmental factors and individual ability. This will give you a lot better indication of how your pup will behave.
