The Tribes Litter, Pixel by Chippewa. 5.5 weeks old today. From top left to right then next row: Cherokee, Sioux, Crow, Pixel, The King, Chippewa, Navajo, Dakota, and Apache. Puppies looking good and will be in their future hunting homes in the weeks ahead.
Pixel had her pups this morning. Six total all born breech and doing well. We will update you will litter theme and names once determined. This litter is all sold.

Both these PRL girls will be having pups this fall/winter. Pixel is due around November 7th and Omiimii should come into heat sometime between February and March.
As we start our second week of hunting we’ve put on the miles every day and the dog work has been nothing short of terrific! Here are a bunch of photos to share in the experience!

One of my all-time favorite hunting photos. 2013, a young Pixel at 50 days pregnant, pointing a ruffed grouse on our UP property. She is wearing her pups and war paint in this photo in all her glory. Love this girl. This week she has been bred to Chippewa, updates to come on that news in several days.
We will be breeding Pixel and if all goes well we will have pups on the ground early November and ready to go early January.
It’s been a very fun summer with working young setters from this past breeding season despite the heat and humidity that the past couple months has brought. Here are a few photos of three of the dogs that we have had an opportunity to work in the fields: Zulu, from the critters litter, Jack and Sierra from the flowers litter.
This fantastic little pup from our Flowers Litter goes home tomorrow back to Quebec, Canada. She is just 4.5 months old and doing terrific! We gave her a great start on birds with her seeing over 100 pigeons in the past month, got her comfortable with a bell and gps collar, in addition to getting all her basic commands introduced and well on their way. Best of luck to Sierra and her owner in their first season in the grouse woods together.
Here is two-month-old Lacey Scarlet in our evening routine with the setters on the bed.
This young puppy is out of one of our most recent litters, the Flowers litter , Pixel by Duncan. Her litter name was Buttercup. She is staying with us for several weeks why her owners are out of the country. Doing some foundational bird work during her stay here at PRL. This is a typical Pixel by Duncan puppy developing wonderfully by four months of age. This is Sierra’s fourth time now in the training field with pigeons.
