Youth Bird Hunters 15 to 17 Years of Age

We at Black Lake Kennel have a special place in our heart for our youth hunters, as I too was young once. I recall many wonderful early memories in the field. I also recall at a very early age wanting my very own bird dog but could not afford one ( due to the restrictions placed on me by my age ). As a result I would like to bless a couple young bird hunters with a top quality hunting Gordon Setter. The Gordon I would set aside and match them with would be of excellent quality. Hopefuly by doing this I can help ground some young bird hunters in a very worthwhile activity plus help them to learn responsibility through caring for their own dog. Hunting over a dog is one thing but to hunt over your own dog is a entirely different experience.

Further at 15 to17 years of age I feel that a youngster is starting to become developed  enough to handle more and more responsibility; but not yet of the age that they can enter the work force to earn the money required to make such a purchase. Therefore I would like to stand in the gap for a couple young hunters wishing to become owners of their own pointing dog. If there is a couple young bird hunters willing to commit to the following requirements then I welcome their parents to contact me so that we discuss my offer further.

Requirement # 1

Responsible young bird hunters 15 to17 years of age with families living on a moderate income that otherwise could not afford to purchase your child a bird dog I maybe able to assit you. I have a special place for as many as I can help in my heart. If your able to afford your own hunting dog then please disregard this offer so to allow me the latitude to reach out to less fortunate youth. With this program we are wanting homes that do not have any hunting dog's. We are not offering this as a means to obtain multiple hunting dog's in any given supposed "less fortunate home". We are attempting to place a few dog's in youth homes that otherwise would not have access to any other pointing dog.

You will not qualify if your family is living in a 100 K to 200 K dollar home  / meanwhile driving $35 K to $50 K dollar automobiles either. We may consider extreme circumstances on a real need basis.

Requirement # 2

Parent’s full permission is required prior to contacting me. Your parent must assure me you can afford the cost to feed a hunting dog in addition to keeping up the vaccinations and preventative health care needs. Further you must fully assure me you will give this hunting dog the absolute best of care and treatment. You must agree and further assure me you will feed,water,and care for the Gordon daily and will not miss a single day ever. You need to be fully aware that dog ownership is expensive as well as a lot of work, further the work will continue for the life of the dog.
