Started dogs

Upland Meadows offers our clients the option of purchasing puppies or young dogs with varying amount of training. Our started dogs are ready to go hunting. Our “Started” dogs have a solid foundation of both obedience and the skills needed to be successful in the field. They have been introduced to birds and the gun, they have been shot over and have typically had significant exposure to birds, mostly pigeons. Started dogs are typically 9 – 18 months old, ranging in price from $3,500 – $5,000.

Josie is a beautiful young b/w female Springer Spaniel who is athletic, medium framed outgoing with a cooperative temperament. She takes to training well and learns quickly. She has a great blend of drive and manageability in the field. She hunts at a medium-fast pace and is fairly animated in the field. She is a strong marker and can handle multiple marked retrieves.
