The Most Important Factor

Lockley dogs are intelligent, strong-willed, and full of attitude. This is exactly what makes them exceptional hunting dogs — but it also means they require the right approach from their owner. Without patience and calm guidance, they can become temperamental.

When you get a pup from us, I’ll always tell you everything you need to know — including the challenges. That might sound negative, but it’s a good thing! Being prepared is key to raising a confident, reliable Lockley dog.

Patience Pays Off

I’m always here to guide you through the tricky early stages. By the time your dog reaches 18 months to two years, they will have matured and trained into a truly special hunting companion. Many first-time owners are so impressed with their dog’s progress that they come back year after year to bring home another pup.

Choosing the Right Owner

Not everyone is suited to a Lockley dog. If you’re fiery or quick-tempered, this breed may not match your style. The secret is to be calm, firm, and consistent — that’s how you bring out the best in these incredible dogs.

Some things are hard to explain on a website — the nuances of training, the energy, the drive — and the best way to understand is in person.
