KINGDOM DOG MINISTRIES: Championship Bloodline Labrador Retriever Puppy & One Month of Training
KINGDOM DOG MINISTRIES: Championship Bloodline Labrador Retriever Puppy & One Month of Training Hank Hough of Kingdom Dog Ministries and Nick Stillwell of Run-N-Gun Adventures have generously donated a championship bloodline Labrador Retriever puppy (black, male). The Labrador Retriever is one of America's most popular dog breeds. For hunters, the family-friendliness and “work hard, play hard” attitude of a lab makes it an ideal sporting pup. A natural retriever, they can be trained to hunt upland birds and do it with panache. But they really shine in the duck blind. The father of this puppy is Hank’s best dog ( SUNDAY MORNING ). He is an AKC Master level hunter, a UKC Hunting Retrievers Champion, an SRS (Super Retriever Series) medal winner, a Field Trial Qualified All Age champion, and a certified Disability Service Dog. He is a one-of-a-kind beautiful companion and is the star dog in the Kingdom Dog Ministries gospel presentation which travels the nation preaching the word of God. The dam is DIXIE , a Hunting Retrievers Champion and now full-time guide dog. This is a black, male puppy. By the time of convention, the puppy will be approximately 12 weeks old, will have basic training, crate training, will be housebroken, and will be available to take home immediately. In addition, Nick Stillwell of Run-N-Gun Adventures has donated one month of training for your new puppy. Nick is a full-time guide and dog trainer, co-owner of Run-N-Gun Adventures and has been training dogs since he was fourteen years old. Dogs have always been his passion and he truly believes that duck hunting would not be the same without a great retriever at his side. Training will be scheduled as soon as possible, preferably in July of 2024. HSCF thanks Hank Hough of Kingdom Dog Ministries and Nick Stillwell of Run-N-Gun Adventures for this 100% donation.

The black bears in our area average 300+ pounds, with some pushing up to 500 pounds. If you are looking for a high success Canada bear hunt, this is it. We put the time, experience and dedication into the hunt to ensure you have the best bear hunt possible. Hunt must be scheduled for May 12 through May 17, 2024 or 2025.
