ABOUT US

We decided when we opened ourselves to others that we would provide a chance for Champion hounds, leading them to become WorkingPartners, and place them with meriting and working organizations or individuals who have proven Worthy. There is no one path open to anyone qualifying for a prepared pooch, from a veteran to a K9 to a field partner or guardian, But all find a steady partner to enable them joy, despite special difficulties of their unique life. Realistically we may not save them all on our own, as we are only a few individuals right now but because of our teamwork, our ideology and belief in Love, we see a greater impact every day.

Hunting Pups

Coon hunting is a favorite sport for man and dog to work at night, a rare opportunity for most. These Elite Partners find a challenge that starts from youth, breeding and eventually gameness. Follow a few of our favorites as we explain the concept of starting a dog before taking it on the first Hunt.
