About Us

Dale and Linda acquired their first German Shorthair as a Christmas present and personal hunting dog in December of 1994.  Dale trained Linda’s Pretty Heidi behind subdivisions in Hermitage, Tennessee.  She was such a good birddog that after her second season, they decided she was worthy of producing off-spring. While searching for a suitable mate, they met Brenda Roe and Snip’s Ticked Off (Rip).  The results of the breeding were outstanding and produced both field and show champions. 

They entered the competitive arena with one of  those off-spring, Heidi’s Olympiad Greta, in 1997.  Greta is currently a 2XNSTRA Champion and has 62 points.  In 2002 Linda began entering NSTRA field trials with another dog from that same litter and finished in first place at her first trial. She has competed at the local, regional, and national levels with her dog Heidi’ Here-N-There (Droopy).  Droopy currently has 11 points and continues to be competitive in trials. 

In 2005, Dale retired from his remodeling business and Linda retired from teaching.  They moved to Wheeler, Texas and have established Dalin Kennels for breeding, training, and boarding birddogs.  In addition, they will be providing accommodations and guide services for quail, turkey, deer, and wild hog hunts.
