(both dogs were trained to a level 2 started dog)

Mark,
The two dogs that we bought from you are all that you mentioned they would be and more, along with your support on our needs. Both dog's are now an excellent addition to Richard's and my family. Wow, I can understand now how busy your schedule must be, and I only have one dog to work with (not 40 or more) The Dog's are exactly what we were looking for and have been noticed by many, and there is only one place to send our friend's for an Extreme hunting dog, and that's you. In addition if you every have the need for customer references please have them contact Richard or myself, we only have great things to say about our experience.

P.S. just a reminder if you have not already, please send the rabies tags.

Sincerely,
Eddie J. Garcia

Mark,
This note is just to thank you for the most pleasurable hunting experiences I've had in a long, long time.  He has been an incredible dog to work with and I thank you for the recommendation on purchasing this incredible dog. Furthermore, what a great job you’ve done training him and getting him ready for the season.  We have really clicked and I am looking forward to many long years of hunting pleasure with my new duck hunting best friend.
Just to give you an idea how he’s doing. In our first few hunting trips together he’s already marking ducks both in front and behind us.  He shows no fear when pursuing wounded birds and has made several 100 plus yard retrieves (a few of my human  friends haven’t quite got the idea of letting birds get in close in high winds).  In fact, He has been so good that the few mistakes being made right now are generally mine.  He has been very impressive and friends invariably ask where I got the dog, and who trained him.
Mark, I’d also like to thank you for the great customer service.  You have been great to work with.  The professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail you’ve shown make your operation the first one I recommend when talking to friends about hunting dogs.
Thanks again and  please don’t ever hesitate to call if I can be of any service to you.
Sincerely,
Sal
St. Louis, Mo.

Mark,
Gauge is doing extremely well and has retrieved 150 + ducks and 4 Canadians. He is doing great on sit and stay. He is using his nose now and found 4 birds that were in tall grass and hiding. I was proud of him for that. On top of that he brakes ice and stays in the field until he finds the bird... no matter how cold... he has heart. I really have enjoyed my new friend and can't thank you enough. Thanks Troy

Hi Mark,
Our yellow lab, Brandy, is such a sweet, beautiful and even tempered dog, it's incredible. Everyone I run in to always comments on how nice and beautiful she is. She's training very easily. I had met with a trainer when she was 10 weeks old and, honestly, I don't even think I need the trainer. He said that she is just the easiest puppy he's ever trained. She is already pretty much house broken and only had a few slips (more my fault) in the house. She has let me know she needed to go out since she was 9 weeks old! She's also slept through the night from the first day we received her @ 8 weeks old.

Thank you for such a beautiful, fun and loving dog. She's our love and joy! I'm so glad I found your website and took a chance on purchasing from you when you live 1/2 way across the country from me!

Sincerely,
Trish Krachun

Mark,
Just to let you know our Labrador pup, Brook, is settling doing well. She has a wonderful nature, and NO fear! Ken is already training her with a bird wing, she seems to have a great nose, she just doesn't want to let go once she's got it......I know Ken will be bringing her back to you for further training in a few months, in the mean time we'll continue with the basics. As you can see from the attached photos, she has also settled in well with our 7 month old Border Collie, River. River is very protective with her, that is until Brook gets in to water, at that point River walks away....as she is NOT a lover of getting wet.

Hope all is well with you. We'll stay in touch,
Jane & Ken

Sometimes after spending a lot of time in the selection of a puppy you just have to rely on an trust that your breeder understands what you want in dog.

Mark did just that. I trusted him and I must say I am very fortunate to have Lady, she is everything I wanted and more. All of my hunting friends are certainly impressed by this 4 month old lab. She is truly my 'Xtreme Outdoor Gun Dog'!

Mark,
Making the decision to spend the money on a well-bred hunting dog is never an easy one. There are so many breeders out there that hoping you pick the right one is one heck of a chore. However, once Katie and I came out and met you and saw the dogs we new we had found the right place to purchase our pup.

As you know, Chevy is nearly 7 months old and is doing great. He is such a beautiful lab with an amazing personality. His training is coming along very well. He has great natural tendencies, like his mother, and has the heart and drive, like his father. I have no doubt that he going to turn into a world class hunting dog. I can’t wait for the hunting seasons to start opening!

I would also like to thank you for continually making yourself so available to me with all my questions about training methods, vets in the area, and the 50 other phone calls or emails I have sent you. It is obvious that you care for the dogs and your customers far beyond selling the dog and seeing it leave your home. You have stayed committed to me and Chevy and we appreciate that loyalty.

Hopefully one day we’ll add a new dog to our family, and I plan on coming back to XOG to see the litters available. Until then, I am sure I will be visiting with you often, and recommending my friends to you when they decide to get dogs.

Best regards,
Edward
