This is Beau Tae's Harvest, aka Tae. Tae is neutered and an awesome pheasant dog. The thicker the brush the more he loves it. We like to take him to creek bottoms to hunt.

At Harvest Kennels, we don't breed until the dog is proven
in the field. We are hunters, not field trialers. We breed one or two litters a year. We carefully select field trial dogs with
good, proven lines that have have passed their health testing: hips, eyes, PFK and brucellosis.
Our puppies are very well socialized with children, cats and other animals. Our pups have wonderful temperments and we keep weekly weight records and notes on development.
They are exposed to all kinds of bird scent at a very early age, as we live in prime bird
hunting country. They are also raised outside to produce strong, healthy pups.
We have three generations of "family" on the premises. They are kid tested... and mother approved! We will ship anywhere in the United States or Canada.
We Strive for Quality.
Harvest Kennels is located in the middle of Montana's prime bird country. We are surrounded by wheat fields, CRP lands in addition to natural hay and native grass pastures. Many ranches are in the Block Management Area hunting program. We are fortunate to have access to thousands of acres in the county for hunting. Our dogs grow up hearing rooster pheasants thumping and cackling in the fields... and finding fresh bird scent on every walk. We feel it really gives our dogs a hunters edge.

Beau Tae's Harvest, April 25th, 2002 - May 4th, 2009
On May 4th, 2009, Tae died suddenly of as yet undetermined causes. Tae was our "brush dog" who loved nothing better than to dive into the willow thickets looking for grouse or running pheasants. He spurned stubble fields in favor of the thick stuff, preferring to bull his way through the rough than finesse open land. He had a keen nose, a soft mouth and an honest retrieve. His sister was appropriately named Beau Tae's Little Sister, as she was the only female in their litter.
Little Sis and Tae were inseperable and we joked that they shared a brain cell. We always said that whenever they were seperated, she got the brain cell. As much as we loved Tae, he was not the brightest crayon in the box, but he was devoted, loving and entertaining. Tae was also known as "Surfer Dude" because the hair on top of his head would stick straight up and bleach out in the sun. He was buried in our pasture, above the creek he loved to swim in. He'll be with us forever in our hearts.
Jay and Gail Ledbetter
