Windy Sage Pudelpointers is excited to announce that we are taking training reservations. We strive to bring out the inherited traits of well-bred hunting dogs. WSPP trains at the speed of the dog, always striving to teach with the lowest level of pressure.
WSPP has run more than 30 dogs in NAVHDA tests and began running dogs in HRC in 2021. We can test your dog as well. Windy Sage was instrumental in creating the Yellowstone Chapter of NAVHDA which gives us a fantastic testing opportunity in our locale.
Training slots are limited, so reserve your slot today!
