Started Dogs For Sale

STARTED DOGS ARE MY SPECIALTY. I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT TAKING A PUP & TURNING IT ON TO RUNNING RABBITS. MY DEFINITION OF A STARTED DOG IS NOT WHAT SOME PEOPLE CALL A STARTED DOG. YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE WILL CALL A DOG STARTED BECAUSE IT RAN A RABBIT 15 YARDS & BARKED 3 TIMES. I WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER A DOG STARTED UNTIL IT IS HUNTING ON ITS OWN & STAYING IN THE RACE WITH THE OTHER DOGS.

MOST OF THE PUPS I START ARE PUPS I BREED & RAISE OUT OF MY OWN PERSONAL FINISHED DOGS. I DO NOT DO THIS JUST TO SELL SOMETHING BUT RATHER TO PRODUCE THE KIND OF DOG THAT YOU CAN BE PROUD OF BECAUSE IF IT COMES FROM HERE IT WILL HAVE A GREAT FOUNDATION TO BUILD ON & YOU CAN FINISH IT OUT BY PUTTING TRACKS ON IT & HARVESTING SOME RABBITS OVER THEM.

I BELIEVE PRODUCING A DOG YOU CAN BE PROUD OF STARTS WITH A GOOD BREEDING, HAVING THE RIGHT FACILITIES TO TRAIN, INTRODUCING PUPS TO RABBITS, & GOOD RUNNING GROUNDS WITH LOTS OF RABBITS, BUT MOST OF ALL, TIME INVESTED IN THEM AT A VERY EARLY AGE.

WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE. I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN HAVING YOUNG DOGS THAT HUNT & HANDLE THE RIGHT WAY.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT BUYING A YOUNG DOG IS YOU GET TO WATCH THE DOG PROGRESS TO A FINISHED DOG & YOU GET A LOT MORE YEARS OF USE FOR YOUR MONEY.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TO TELL ME THAT THE YOUNG DOGS, THEY ARE BUYING FROM HERE, ARE OUTPERFORMING SOME OF THE FINISHED DOGS THEY OWN. IT IS VERY COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO BUY 1-2 STARTED DOGS FROM US & THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY ARE COMING BACK TO BUY MORE.

WHEN PEOPLE SEE THE QUALITY THAT IS THE STANDARD OF OUR STARTED DOGS IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR MOST PEOPLE TO BUY OR RAISE PUPS BECAUSE AFTER YOU ADD UP THE COST OF BUYING A PUP, FEEDING, VACCINATIONS, & TRAINING PEN COST YOU ARE NOT FAR FROM THE COST OF ONE OF OUR STARTED DOGS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU HAVE THE ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A RABBIT DOG WITH THE HUNT, LOOKS, MOUTH, & HANDLE THAT YOU LIKE. YOU NORMALLY CAN COME HERE & WATCH THE YOUNG DOG IN THE WILD PRIOR TO PURCHASE INSTEAD OF BETTING IT ALL ON THE PUP YOU BOUGHT & HAVE WAITED FOR MONTHS HOPING IT TURNS OUT TO BE A GOOD DOG. WHAT IF THE PUP DOESN'T TURN OUT? WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THAT & SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER YOU WILL FIND THIS IS THE WAY TO GO!

THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS PUPS THAT TURN OUT RIGHT BUT IF YOU ARE TIRED OF THE RESULTS YOU ARE GETTING TRY US OUT. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

What to expect from a BOF started dog & what to do with a started dog from BOF after purchase

What can you expect from a started dog from BOF?

What are the things you need to do after you buy a started dog from BOF?

This video will cover the things you need to do to make the young started dog all it can be in the future. This video covers the amount of Ivermectin to give to your dog as well as the ratio I mix & what I mix, etc.

There is currently no started dogs available but I'm working with other dogs now & will have more ready soon. Any dog that says available under it is a dog to inquire about. If there's a dog you are interested in that says showing to someone on a certain date feel free to check back with me on that date to see if the person took that dog. I mark them available again if the person doesn't show up or doesn't take a dog they look at. I keep this page updated very regularly so it should be accurate most every time.

Reba Red-tick Female

Showing to Nick from IL on 5/3/25

This female has taken me a while to figure out. She is out of Reba & Kirby born on 8/1/23. She took a little time to get her going in the starting pen, then when I would take her out in the wild she wouldn't do much so after some time I decided to take her GPS/Shock collar off. I've only had 2-3 other dogs I have trained that were like this & so I tried it. She has been running well ever since. She was never shocked hard or anything like that. It just happens with some dogs. She hasn't ran any trash, handles very well, runs an upper-medium speed, & is a hard hunter. I would imagine in the future she would be fine to have a collar put back on her but she doing fine without one at the moment.

What our customers are saying

Bought a dog out of the Wildfire cross, took him out for the past week & he has absolutely been awesome! Absolutely blown my expectations away! Best decision I ever made with purchasing a dog from him. I'm ready for the next dogs to go up for sale so I can snag another one!
