NEW STUD BLAZE

For 13 years now, We have been both very lucky,   and very good at the core of our program.
SELECTION
Few realize how tough it is to select good dogs for an improvement based program...particularly stud dogs.

Finding a stud to continue what we found in Jake and Phoenix has been frustrating.
For years We have found and sold lots of good males ...Choosing to wait for a Great male to carry our brand forward.
Finding an outstanding male with Jake not as a parent or grandparent has been a long,   long  journey.

This fall we have finally found a male who is a true gem.
This,  on our 14th try.
With a pointing instinct nearly identical to the late Sauk River's Featherstorm ( Jake ).
He is a dog with a fantastic nose who points waaaay off the bird and locks on first scent.
He is an athletic STRONG barn-burner of an upland dog.
He is a strong marking dog who will work until he can't move.
Blaze is a two and a half year old dog who will be used for a couple of litters this year here at Sauk River
We are organizing our future around this dog.   He is that good.
After a frustrating slog through mediocrity in trying to find a gem...
We, and our future owners have been blessed a second time.

If you are considering joining the SAUK RIVER family of owners,
Or,   have a question about a   pointing labrador puppy,   started dog,   or your training needs
We are here to help.

Jane and I welcome your visit.
We look forward to serving you in   2013. and beyond

Sincerely,   David and Jane Mork



To our Family of Owners:    Thank You for Your updates!

To owners of Sauk River Dogs..   Please keep the updates coming.  

Jane and I are gratified by the number of stories we are hearing from our owners... and the response of other hunters to your dogs.
We are getting many referrals from hunters who had the opportunity to hunt with your dog.
Thank you for your continued support for what we do here.

In Fall 2012, Conditions were quite different in the midwest. lots of traditional cover areas in the Dakotas were being burned or hayed.
Over and Over we heard how this year, more than ever... Pheasant hunters in the midwest were glad to have a good dog.
After high bird numbers for a long time... those tougher years ( in some areas ) A tougher year brings out the vlaue of an excellent dog.

Sauk River Pointing Labradors pleased our owners in a variety of settings from Mexico to Canada.  
Here are some locations we have heard from this year: Game bird species are hi-lited to emphasize the diversity of success with Sauk River Dogs.

Sauk River Dogs are on  Pheasant  in The Dakotas,   Iowa,  Kansas,   Nebraska,   Montana,  Illinois,   Minnesota,   and Pennsylvania.
Sauk River Labs are pointing and retrieving   Grouse and Woodcock   in Vermont,  Maine,   Conneticut,   New York,   Quebec,   Ontario,  Wisconsin,   and Minnesota.
Our dogs are on   Quail     in Missouri,   Alabama,   Georgia,   Oklahoma, and   Texas. ...and on   Chukar  in Utah,   Washington,   California
Sauk River Dogs are working   Ducks   and   Geese   along all four flyways, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Waterfowl,   doves   and quail   in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and across the border in Mexico.
Just look what "Jake" started, and what Blaze has inherited.

We look forward to hearing from each of you.
Our door is open for your scheduled visit.    

David Mork.



Video of a Year - old   PHOENIX x SCARLET   pup on point.

Scarlet will be bred to Phoenix for the final time spring 2013 ( May = best estimate for breeding date )...
Call David or Jane if you want to be on that list.


The video is 7 min long. Gauge actually points at about 4 min 30 seconds.
I had to shoot the bird while filming.     Made the shot which is rare for me!
Gauge,   who is a very good marker,   misses this mark as he heels back to me during the shot.
Gauge holds point with good control for an 11 month old dog.  
This dog was with us for 2 months of Training.   He hunts quail with his owner in his home state of Alabama.

Please call or e-mail or David or Jane personally if you have questions about an   upcoming litter,   started dog,   or training for your gundog.

Some of you waited nearly a year to obtain a pup in 2011 / 2012.   We appreciate your patience as 2013 begins.  

As many will attest.... It is worth the wait to take advantage of the years of selection and testing we have been through to arrive at the quality of dogs we breed today.
