Dryfork Bird Dogs

Dryfork Bird Dogs began in 2020 when Steve Stuart of Rose Hill Gun Dogs met Rocky Keim. Steve has spent 35 years selectively breeding his line of English Setters.

Garry steadying up dog before release

A few months back I got the privilege to work dogs with Garry Surratt and Joe Davis. Pictured above is Garry steadying up a nice young dog before releasing him into the field.

Joe working with dog on point

I created this section of the website to allow you to brag about your dogs and services, share pictures and stories about training, hunting and trialing our dogs. If you have something to share, please feel free to do so, but please do not place dogs for sale here.

Son of Elhew Damascus

Got to work bird dogs with other day with two of my mentors, Garry Surratt of Pinehill Kennels and Joe Davis. We ran this handsome son of Elhew Damascus named Gus and a few other dogs.

McGoos Elhew Kia

Kia was whelped June 2000 and i selected her a week prior to weaning. She was my friend and I hers for life, She won my heart and the heart of all who walked behind her in the woods. Kia was a complete natural and was only on three liberated birds in her life, natural pointing, naturally staunch, natural retrieving, natural backing (though she rarely had too. She pointed her first grouse and woodcock in Michigan as a pup and by the time she was 3 years old was had to beat by any dog in finding numbers of grouse and woodcock.

Great hunt in South Dakota this weekend

Birds are definitely up from the drought years, but still not what they were eight or nine years ago. More pics at whiteswanbrittanys.com.
