2nd for three straight years, and 1st two other years. And the top
three Gun Dog awards for 1999, and the #1 & #2 Gun Dogs for 2000.
Kinnike has produced
group and BIS Pointers on three continents.
Kinnike's
Breeding Program
Kinnike Pointer pedigrees
are based on the world-famous Crookrise lines from England. Throughout
the years, we have produced dogs that excel in type, temperament, &
field ability. Recently we did a judicious outcross to the famous
Elhew lines with wonderful success. We have always believed that health,
temperament & soundness are equally important as type. We are blessed
to have been able to achieve & preserve that philosophy. The
Kinnike prefix can be found in the foundation stock of many breeders' foundation
stock, world wide.
