Welcome to Great Basin Kennel


Clarence Gamble and Eddie Rodriguez

Thank you for visiting Great Basin Kennel. We hunt, compete and breed the highest class bird dogs in Nevada. We have acquired some of the finest Elhew bred pointers, as well as the nation's top German Shorthair lines, including Western Pride, Rawhide's Clown, Dunfar, and Snip's Ticked Off.

We believe in the Elhew line, as their biddibility is world renowned. We are ever so grateful to Mr. Bob Wehle for developing this fantastic line of dogs. We are not kennel blind though, as we do purge and upgrade our lines from time to time, and believe in outcrossing to Fiddler and Miller bred bird dogs.

Our Shorthairs can run and find birds with any breed of bird dog. We will not tolerate a run off, but likewise bootlickers serve us no purpose. We are extremely proud of our dogs, as they have proven themselves time and time again in the field. Take a look around, and by all means, call us to talk about bird dogs!

Rockacre Blackhawk x SM Elhew Hazel (double Hanna's Elhew Lou bred).  As expected, this mating produced the quality of pups we demand here at Great Basin Kennel.  We will continue to use Jay as a stud on select females chosen for their bird sense, style and toughness.  Jay is available as a stud by private treaty.  Please contact C.G. for details. 

 BROKE AND STARTED DOGS FOR SALE

Ginger, by Ch. Elhew Sinbad, has returned home after spending 2 months with Sheldon Twer in training.   She spent the summer in Canada learning how to find wild birds with Robin Gates, and I hunted her for October and part of November on Gambel's quail.  She is what we called a well started dog, as she has not been force broke.  For more information on this classy, well bred female, please contact CG at (702) 813-0822.

Red, by Ch. Erin's Southern Pride, spent the summer in Canada as well.  Red has been with me hunting wild birds since October.  This dog has an incredible desire to find birds.  That makes it so much easier on me when breaking him.  At the conclusion of the season, I will finish him wing to shot and he will be available.

    "Clarence,

           Enclosed photo of is a photo of Bucky.  He's really making a nice dog, still young but shows the potential.  He finds alot of birds and is starting to hold good.  He's running at shooting dog range now, but could as he gets older open up some more.  Overall, a very nice pup......

                                                                    Thanks,

                                                                    Robin"
