Shania

Ladybird is a Vizsla who hails from Mira Vizslas in Wisconsin. She is a prodigy at hunting birds and has the sweetest temperament. AnnaBelle is from Onancock, VA. She joined our team officially in 2020.

Axle is a tri-colored GSP who began his career in Wisconsin. He joined our team in 2021. Don't mistake his gentle demeanor...he is a silent assassin on upland game.
Fiocchi
Fiocchi is another GSP that has proven her caliber on GCUP. Able to work alone or on a team of dogs, she is absolutely devastating on a hunt.
Colt
Colt is a GSP that is just as deadly as his name. He is the main dog of Taylor and Alex, and is another workhorse of our preserve.

Like others, Brody is a GSP that has shown himself worthy of guiding on GCUP. Moving like a phantom and locking on a point, he is a premier dog to work with.
