It’s that time again! We’re making plans to go to Canada in early July. We take only a few bird dogs to our Broomhill grounds for training on wild birds to ensure that each gets all the opportunities needed to succeed. If you would like to send a dog with us or have questions about our Summer Training Program, please contact us. We already have several dogs booked.
Here is our brochure:

We take only a limited number of field trial and personal hunting dogs (all pointing breeds) for summer training on the Canadian prairies. Please contact as soon as possible if you would like to send a dog with us. For more information about our Summer Training Program, please see our brochure: 2013_DavisKennels_PrairieTraining
We will be leaving Alabama in mid-July, returning in mid-September. Please call if you have any questions and to reserve your dog’s place: 334-412-4904.
Here are some of the dogs from the 2012 Summer Training Program!

For Field Trial and Upland Bird Hunting dogs of all ages, we offer our Summer Training Program on the Canadian Prairie. We invite you to take this opportunity to send your dog with Field Trial Hall of Fame trainer Colvin Davis for summer training on wild birds on the prairie. For young and mature dogs, personal hunting dogs and field trial contenders, nothing is better for preparing your dog for the fall hunting and field trial season than training on sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge under the tutelage of Colvin Davis! We take only a limited number of dogs so book early to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!! For complete details, please download our brochure 2011_DavisKennels_PrairieTraining or call for more information. Call Davis Kennels: 334-227-4521 or Colvin Davis: 334-462-1892.

We had a great summer on the prairies with lots of birds for training our field trial and hunting dogs…who are ready to point lots of quail at Davis Quail Hunts!

Congratulations to Gary and Sally Lockee of LaGrange, Tennesssee, owners of Patriote on his win of the Manitoba Championship which concluded on September 15. Jim had a huge prairie all-age race with 4 finds — 3 on sharptail grouse and 1 on Hungarian partridge. Jim won the Championship in 2009 as well and we are very proud of him!

We arrived safely at our summer training camp a few days ago. Before we left, our friend Aaron Lisech came by and brought his nephew, Daniel Haase. Daniel spent some time hunting at Davis Quail Hunts and was so taken with the dogs that he asked if he could come up to Canada and learn about training bird dogs. There’s no better opportunity for doing that than on the prairies and we are glad to have Daniel here with us. ‘Course he’ll be getting up at the crack of dawn and tired at the end of the day…that’s the life of a dog trainer! 🙂 Watch for reports throughout the coming weeks.
