At Brush Dale Farm Kennel we breed and train Small Munsterlander Pointers for versatile upland hunting. You can hunt with our top-performing gun dogs, bring your own dog, or both. There is lodging in the area that allows pets, or your dog may sleep in his/her crate in the heated Hawkeye Lodge.

Half-day and full-day, guided and non-guided hunts are available in several hunting packages. Weather-permitting, you can pheasant hunt in the morning and trout fish on Brush Creek in the afternoon! Wild turkey and white-tail deer hunting packages are also available for both bow and shotgun seasons. Or, have us create a custom hunting package that includes both fur and feathered game.

Train your versatile hunting dog for field and water work at Brush Dale Farm year round. Pen-raised birds can be legally shot in conjunction with hunting dog training activities year-round at Brush Dale. We have ponds with gradual slopes to swimming depth that are perfect for introducing pups to water. For those training towards the NAVHDA Utility Test, our wetland ponds are a perfect place to work on the duck search, and Loch Ness Pond works great for training steadiness at the blind and retrieve of a duck. Whether you need to work with your dog on being steady to wing and shot, blood tracking through the hillside timber, making a long water retrieve, or searching for ducks among the marsh reeds - we have the birds, equipment, knowledge, and training grounds to make your training day a success.

Brush Dale is the perfect place to introduce your young hunting dog to pheasant and quail hunting.
