Rocky Ridge Success Stories
Here, hunters, competitors, and families share how our dogs have exceeded their expectations.

As a lifelong bird hunter, I needed a GSP with proven field instincts. Rocky Ridge matched me with Duke, who pointed his first pheasant at just six months old. Maggie walked me through his bloodline and hunting potential, while Liam arranged seamless delivery to my ranch. These folks don’t just sell puppies, they build hunting partners for life.

Between soccer practices and work, I worried about getting a puppy, until Rocky Ridge sent me Luna with her crate, favorite toys, and a typed care schedule. Maggie texted weekly to check on us, and Liam even helped puppy-proof my backyard. Two months later, Luna’s the reason my kids beg to go hiking every weekend.

I saved for years to buy my first GSP. Rocky Ridge’s online adoption made it possible, and their matching process let me bond with Ranger before graduation. He arrived housetrained and chewing only his toys (not my textbooks). Best decision I ever made, thanks for believing in a first-time dog owner.

After my divorce, I wanted a protector for my daughters. Maggie spent hours helping me choose gentle but alert Bella, who came with a “puppy prep kit” of food and vet records. Liam delivered her personally despite a snowstorm. Now Bella hikes with us, sleeps in the girls’ room, and makes us feel safe.

My PTSD service dog came from Rocky Ridge. Maggie tested litter temperament like it was science, and Liam trained “Chief” to recognize my anxiety before I do. They flew him to me with a trainer for handoff. 9 months later, he’s the reason I can go to my granddaughter’s recitals.

We needed a dog who could ski, swim, and tolerate our chaotic household. Enter Rocky Ridge’s “tornado-proof” GSP, Buck. Maggie sent videos of him playing with kids at their farm, and Liam coordinated delivery around our vacation. Now he’s the star of every lake day and snowball fight.

Most breeders laughed when I asked for a GSP with water obsession. Rocky Ridge found me Sailor, whose dam was a retrieval champion. They even included swim training tips. Now we’re ranked top 10 in junior division, all because Maggie and Liam understand performance genetics.

At 72, I thought I was too old for a puppy. Maggie paired me with mellow Miss Daisy, already crate-trained. Liam organised door-to-door delivery to my porch with homemade treats and printed care instructions. Now she’s my walking buddy and the talk of my book club.

We almost bought a cheaper GSP online, thank God we found Rocky Ridge. Maggie explained hip certifications like we were her only clients, and Liam shipped Bolt with a hunting vest and training DVD. Our first season, he retrieved 17 ducks. Worth every penny.

I needed a running partner who wouldn’t quit. Rocky Ridge’s “endurance line” GSP, Ghost, clocked 8 miles with me by month nine. Maggie sent his parents’ athletic testing results, and Liam scheduled delivery for my day off. Now we’re training for a 50K together.

With four relocations in five years, we needed a resilient dog. Rocky Ridge’s GSP, Trooper, adapted to every base, thanks to Maggie’s socialization tips and Liam’s cross-country delivery coordination. He’s our sons constant through every “new school” meltdown.

Between 60-hour workweeks, I needed a turnkey hunting companion. Rocky Ridge delivered fully vaccinated Scout with a training log and GPS collar recommendations. Maggie’s litter selection advice was sharper than my scalpel. First hunt, he retrieved a limit of doves before lunch.
