Welcome to Colonial Farms!

"We are very blessed to live on 100 beautiful family-owned acres in Chelsea, Michigan. We love to bird hunt, train all breeds of gun dogs and breed German Shorthaired Pointers.  Since February 2005 we have shared our piece of paradise with the public through our DNR licensed gamebird preserve.   We have enjoyed our first years in the preserve business very much and we anticipate many wonderful years ahead doing what we love with the dogs and birds in the fields.  We look forward to serving your needs, whether it is to provide you with an enjoyable day pheasant hunting on our Private Gamebird Preserve, Private Field Training Lessons, use of our Dog Training Area or a new German Shorthaired Pointer Puppy."

• 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 entire 100 acres of beautiful rolling terrain for Private Hunts for your hunting party's enjoyment. An awesome bird hunt is waiting for you ... whether it is for Chukar or Pheasant hunting with your family, or Chukar or Pheasant hunting with your employees and/or business contacts, we have the great flying birds for you.  We also offer the use of our licensed "Dog Training Area" for an hourly fee for shorter training lessons or group training use of our fields. Many hunters and competition dog owners love the convenience of our unique terrain to train privately with their dogs on LIVE BIRDS ... YEAR-ROUND.  We plan to carry Pheasant, Chukar, Quail, Hungarian Partridge and Pigeons for your dog training and/or hunting needs. The 100 acres are by reservation only and due to the high demand for our private hunts, please plan ahead. Please see "Preserve/Training" for more specific information about our Private Chukar and Pheasant hunting in Chelsea, Michigan on our 100 acres of bird hunting paradise.

• Bill is also available for PRIVATE FIELD TRAINING LESSONS for you and your hunting dog. He works with you and your gun dog, one-on-one to help YOU bring out the best in your hunting partner. With private lessons and live birds, he will teach YOU how to train your gun dog in short simple lessons while at your home in between visits at our preserve. No commitments are necessary and you may come as little or as often as you prefer to train your dog year-round. Bill is always available with the training equipment and live birds to help you work on problems if they develop in the future. We plan to carry Pheasant, Chukar, Quail, Hungarian Partridge and Pigeons for your dog training and hunting needs. Whether your gun dog is 3 months or 3 years old, Bill will help you develop your bird dog into what you desire at your convenience and while bonding with your four-legged partner for that close working relationship in the field for many years to come.  Please see "Preserve/Training" for more information.

• We are licensed breeders of GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS and personally own 8 GSPs as our field guide dogs here on our gamebird preserve.  All of our dogs are great Upland Bird Hunters but they are also very beautiful and have wonderful loving personalities, too. Their offspring have proven to have the same wonderful qualities throughout the years. More than anything our puppies want to be with and please their owners. 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.
