Guide Dogs & Dog Renting

Are you a member, but don’t have a bird dog? No problem! Being a full hunt member not only gives you access to our 10 hunting fields, but it also gives you access to use our guide dogs. Requesting any of these services must be done in advance. We are very protective of our dogs, and we will not put them in any situations where they are in danger or neglected. Any injuries that occur to dog while on hunts without MHHC staff present will be handled, delt, and settled on an individual basis. MHHC may ask member to cover costs if injury was preventable.

Hunts at MN Horse and Hunt Club

Requesting Guide & Dog:

MHHC staff will meet you before your hunt with appropriate number of dogs for size of hunt. All members of hunting party must be respectful and be aware of safety for both guide & dog. Request guide & dog at time of booking hunt with hunt desk. MHHC can decline any member of use of guide & dogs if they are deemed unsafe, do not follow orders, or mistreat the dogs. 

Requesting Dog:

In order to earn access to take one of our dogs out by yourself, MHHC staff will accompany you on your first hunt with said dog. During the first hunt MHHC staff will teach you commands, dog safety, and help you will any other questions you may have. Once MHHC staff is confident in your ability to work and hunt with said dog, you will have access to take said dog out by yourself. MHHC staff has right to decline any member from hunting a dog by themselves if it is deemed, they are unsafe, do not follow orders, or mistreat dogs. MHHC will provide water, collars, and kennels for dog during hunt.

Top Performance Guide Dogs

We hold our dogs to a very high standard in terms of hunting capability. Almost, if not all of our breeding dogs are guide dogs for hunts at the club, but also hunt wild game off the property. A dog must not only hold up to our standards, but also our member’s standards in order to be a guide dog. Not only are our dogs guide dogs, but we run and prove most of them in hunting tournaments and trials.
