  • Tiger Mountain Ranging Radar

    "I just wanted to tell you that Radar has long since become an irreplaceable component of our family. His weight is good, his endurance is staggering and his temperament is quite frankly unbelievable. This friend does not bark, does not whine or whimper and his sole purpose in life seems to be to please his master. He is with out a doubt the fastest, most agile Labrador that I have ever seen. In the last year I personally witnesses a 180 yard Chukar retrieve and (hold on) a three hundred yard mallard drake retrieve. I work with him twice a day on retrieves with a ball, dealing with both blind and seen throws. He goes after the balls with the same zest and desire that he has with live birds. I am so totally pleased and impressed with your breed and training that I have recommended and bragged about your operation to everyone that will listen. I can’t thank you enough for my little, black friend that I have grown so accustomed to. If and when I need to get another pup, I will certainly only call you.

  • Tiger Mountain Parker

    "John,
    I just took Parker to a pheasant hunting preserve in eastern Oregon yesterday along with my son for his first pheasant hunt. My son turned out to be a crack shot and Parker turned out to be a Pointer!!

    I know you certified that Parker would point but I have 2 friends that also bought "pointing labs" from "other" kennels and they never saw this capability in their dogs. With this in mind, I wondered what Parker would do with pheasants but my expectations weren't all that high that he would point. This wasn't a huge deal for me as he is a wonderful dog and I figured if he flushed birds like every other lab, I would be ok. We

     

    point. I about passed out with excitement and disbelief at what had just taken place! Parker held this point and allowed me to walk in front of him where I kicked up a nice rooster and my son quickly dispatched it with a single shot. It was my son's first pheasant and my dogs first point. I couldn't think of a prouder moment for a dad!

    We continued our days hunt and by 3pm we had 6 of the 7 birds. Parker pointed each of them and held the point while we were able to flush them and take the shot. It was perhaps my favorite day of hunting ever! I now have a son that wants to go again and a dog that appears to have the raw material to turn into a top upland bird dog.

    Just wanted you to know this and to say thanks again for all the dividends Parker is bringing to our lives. "

    Regards, Dave

  • Tiger Mountain's Seattle

    Hi John,
    Just a short note...
    I am teaching private lessons to Dave and Anna Oszlowka and their Pointing Labrador, "Seattle" (who came from your breeding). We're working on basic obedience commands, with an emphasis on handler consistency, while recognizing Seattle's natural abilities. As a breeder myself (Airedal
    e Terriers) it's always nice to have feedback from people who have seen my dogs, so I'm writing to tell you just how impressed I am with "Seattle". He's a beautifully put together dog with an excellent temperament, great working potential and a real willingness to please. Oszlowka's have expressed to me many times how happy they are with Seattle. You should be commended on your breeding program....for producing Labradors that point, retrieve game AND possess the temperament to make them superior companion dogs with good looks to boot!

    I understand Seattle will be returning to to you this Spring for field training and will look forward to hearing updates from Oszlowka's."

  • CP Tiger Mtn Magnum Maggie May JH

    Good morning John,

     

    Just a quick note to thank you for producing one of the finest hunting dogs and best friend both Tami and I have ever had. During our recent trip to South Dakota Maggie May was awesome people that we hunted around were in awe of her abilities and stamina. Many times when other dogs had been thru area's we would bring Maggie back into the cover and she would get birdie and not want to leave in every attempt she came up with a bird (she knew they were in there).

     

    Again John thank you for one fine animal and Ryan and John for the great upland training and care you have given her. The only thing that you need to add to your program is teach them how to shoot!!!!!!!!  They do everything else.  Tami is putting together some pictures that I will forward to you. Tell everyone at TIGER MOUNTAIN HELLO,

  • Hi John,

    Just wanted to let you know that Otter, the pointing lab we got from you about 8 years ago is still doing great!

    Just got back from a pheasant hunting trip to North Dakota and he did great.  He had lots of great points and retrieves!  He’s still a great family dog the rest of the year but can also still hunt when called upon.  Hope all is well.  If I get some pictures I’ll email to you.

  • Tiger Mountains Mulligan

    Hi John:

    Its been a long time since I have communicated with you and I thought I should let you know how Casey is.

    Casey has developed into a fine pointer and retriever. He came with all the skills and ability necessary and has been a wonderful animal to work with.

    He has developed into a staunch pointer steady to wing and shot . His retrieving ability is amazing .He works well to hand sinals , has amazing marking ability , does doubles, triples and will do double blinds out to 200 yards without a hitch.  He of course has a nose that just blows me away at times.

    He has given me a lot of pleasure in the field .  I have had labs in the past (retrievers) and he is far superior to them.

    Its hard for me to believe that one dog can be such an exceptional animal when performing as a pointer and a retriever. Casey works at a good pace when hunting and runs just as hard coming in with the bird as he does going out !

    You are to be commended for the dogs you provide and the work youve done in your field.

    Casey and I are going Pheasant hunting in Kansas during December. I am really looking forward to the hunt with him,itsgoing to be great.

    Regards,

    Bob Burwell

     

     

  • Julie Knutson - Gun Club Labs

    ...........Mallard and Reigny, both Tiger Mountain dogs are amazing in the upland field.  Don't tell Greer, but they know how to training pointing dogs, don't they?  Reigny doesn't need a handler with her even...

    Mallard's one of the best yellow's going, Rob's a lucky man, or Mallard.. or somebody in that deal.  My hat's off to their trainers over the past couple of years........

  • John, just wanted to send a note about our pup. At 5 months old she is pointing, retrieving and loves to hunt.  She has been working live birds since she arrived in WY  at 7 weeks and is a birdy little girl.She is still a pup but just returned from a hunting trip to Iowa where she worked fantastic. Kicked up well over 100 birds Pheasants and helped retrieve everything we shot.  She gets better each session and loves the attention and the challenge of finding hidden retrieves. We love her to death thank you for the outstanding pup, she is going to become a legend. Sincerely, Norm Nelson

  • John-

    I just wanted to take the time and tell you how impressed I am with my Tiger Mountain Lab.  You literally could not ask for a better all around dog than my Tiger Mountain Sage.  She is 5 years old now and just continues to amaze me.  The complements I get on my dog from hunters and strangers on the street alike, is just unreal.  Whether is it what a great looking dog she is, to how they have never seen a lab hunt like her, the compliments never seem to end. 

    Sage has probably traveled more miles than most people ever have, and whatever the situation, she always hunts like she’s been there before.  Whether we are hunting Alaska for Ptarmigan, Washington for Quail, Kansas for Pheasant, or Maryland for Ducks, Sage is focused, obedient, and is always having fun!

    Unlike a lot of people, I’ve seen your operation at work, and it is easy to see why you turn out the quality dogs you do.  Your experience, dedication, and knowledge shows in every dog you work with.  Between the birds, terrain, and training those dogs are exposed to on a daily bases is no wonder why Tiger Mountain Labs are so versatile.

    I have been around and hunted over a lot of dogs, and I am convinced that no matter what the price, you will not find a better bird dog, period.  To top it all off, Riverbottom Gun Dog Supply carries only the products that you use, and are proven to be the best in the industry, so I never waste time wondering what to buy.  Due to your proven program you can bet that you will have a Tiger Mountain customer for life.  Thanks again for everything!

  • My Two Tiger Mountain Dogs

    John,

     

    Once again my new pup has completely exceeded my expectations.  Quick to learn, eager to please, and hard hunting.  Just wanted to say thank you and send you a couple pictures.

    The first picture is my 2 year old pointing chukar at the bottom of a 25 foot cliff, and my 9 month old backing.  The second is just the end of a fantastic day.

     

    Thanks again,

     

    Jonathon
