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!

SON OF CH. ELHEW SNAKEFOOT STANDING AT STUD

Great Basin Kennel was privileged to acquire an interest in a frozen semen son of HOF Ch. Elhew Snakefoot.   Jay's first litter was by GBK's Sin Nombre, who is by Ch. 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.

    "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......
