We are Craig, Elizabeth, and Daniel Burns. Muddy Creek Kennel is a family business that we have operated full time since 1994. Of course bird dogs and training were a way of life for me long before that. Hunting with good dogs of all breeds has been an inspiration but the German Shorthair became my breed of choice. Basically you could set down and write out a list of desired characteristics that you want in your dog and someone will be breeding a German Shorthair of that type. The genetics are that versatile.

We hunt Bobwhite Quail and Pheasant primarily. German Shorthairs will hunt anything-anywhere. We train with Bobwhite but the same dog trained with Bobwhite will go to Idaho and hunt Chuckar or South America and hunt Perdiz. We intend to operate Muddy Creek Kennel as our families business so long as there are birds to hunt and bird dogs to train. Repeat or refferal customers are priceless and new customers are our business. We want the dog you get from us to be the best dog you ever had. Someone that has a really good dog they got from us is what it is all about.

We have runs for 70 dogs, 3 or 4 stud dogs, 8 or 10 brood mamas, 12 or 15 dogs being trained for customers, 20 or 30 finished dogs for sale, 20 or 30 being developed and 20 or 30 pups growing up in the puppy pens. Elizabeth calls us dog farmers. She raises puppies, cleans, feeds and whoa breaks as good as anyone there is. Also, not in the least, she names dogs and is my constant who's who directory.

We sell dogs several ways... the best way is for you to come here to look at dogs for yourself. Some customers order their dogs in advance. We know what you want and pick one for you as we are developing this years crop. Other people order a dog sight unseen. As far as my opinion goes, the best way to get a dog from us, if you want it for next year, is to order one. We can pick and choose to get for you what you want. Wether you come here, order a dog or get one sight unseen we want you to get the right dog the first time.

German Shorthair Pointers are our business and we try to raise as good as there is. We aren't moonlighting for extra income. We raise and train bird dogs for a living.We are a hunting dog kennel and are looking for hunting dog qualities. Good bird dogs for someone to hunt with. I saw a billboard sign at a tire store the other day that said "We want your tire business." We want your bird dog business!
