Welcome to Colonial Farms!

"We are very blessed to live on 100 beautiful family-owned acres in Chelsea, Michigan. We love to hunt, guide, train bird dogs and breed German Shorthaired Pointers.  February 2008 marks the THIRD YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Colonial Farms Gamebird Preserve.   We have enjoyed our first three years in the Preserve business very much and we anticipate another wonderful year ahead.  We look forward to serving your needs, whether it is for a new German Shorthaired Pointer Puppy, Private Field Training Lessons, use of our Dog Training Area or to provide you with an enjoyable day in the field with the dogs and birds."

Colonial Farms, LLC

• We are licensed breeders of German Shorthaired Pointers and personally own 6 GSPs.  They are all FANTASTIC Upland Bird Hunters.  They are also very beautiful and have wonderful loving personalities. Their offspring have proven to have the same wonderful qualities throughout the years. Their bloodlines contain many Field Champions, Show Champions, Dual Champions and National Champions.  We only have 1 - 2 litters a year and so we usually have a waiting list for our next litter of puppies. We accept COMPLETELY REFUNDABLE deposits in order to guarantee you one of our puppies. Please browse "Our Puppies" for further information, "Photo Album" for photos of our previous puppies, and "Our Dogs" for our Sires and the Ladies along with their pedigrees.

• Through the DNR, we have a licensed Gamebird Preserve and a licensed "DOG TRAINING AREA" for your YEAR-ROUND dog training and exercise needs.  We offer the use of our licensed "Dog Training Area" for an hourly fee. Many hunters and competition dog owners love the convenience of a large, quiet area to train privately with their dogs on LIVE BIRDS ... YEAR-ROUND.  We also offer the use of our entire 100 acres for reserved 4-hour hunts for you and your hunting party's enjoyment.  We plan to carry Pheasant, Chukar, Quail, Hungarian Partridge and Pigeons for your dog training and hunting needs. Please see "Preserve/Training" for more information.

• Bill is also available for PRIVATE FIELD TRAINING LESSONS for you and your hunting dog. He works with you and your dog, one-on-one to help bring out the best in your hunting partner. He will work with you, whether your dog is 3 months or 36 months old, to help you develop your dog into what you desire.  Please see "Preserve/Training" for more information.
