About Autumn Fire Gun Dogs

Welcome to Autumn Fire Gun Dogs.  We are a small kennel in north central Minnesota. We started breeding because we couldn't find the type of dogs we wanted. We didn't like the big running Field trial dogs or the close working Iowa pheasant hunting dogs.  We were looking for something in between. We liked the Hillhaven Hustler bred dogs ,so that’s where we started.

We are still breeding Hustler dogs eleven years later. Our dogs are mostly from Walnut Hill Kennels , Odyssey and Cebourne and we thank these breeders for their help and getting us on the right track.

The Sam Saint Max dogs are doing very well. They have the superior learning ability that we like.  Bird hunting is a family tradition with us. We hunt from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains and From Canada to Kansas. For this we need people oriented dogs that travel well and can handle many different species of birds.

Our dogs hunt Minnesota Ruffed Grouse, Huns and Sharptails in Montana and Pheasants everywhere. They live in motels or the back of trucks or as guests in friend’s homes. They are also used as guide dogs on preserves and wild birds. We do training seminars at Pheasants forever youth days and advanced hunter classes. They all must earn their living.

 We do AKC hunt test to get a handle on where we are compared to other breeders. We have Five Master hunters in our kennel that we have raised and trained.

Our dogs are bred to be people friendly, family oriented bird dogs that you can live with all year. 

We are members of and support: GSPCMN, GSPCofA, Pheasants forever. Quail Forever, Ruffed Grouse Society and Autism Awareness.

"We like our dogs and you might too". 

 Thank You,

Jerry Hills
