Mark and Sophie have backgrounds in
Agriculture, Animal Science, and Education with degrees from the University
of Minnesota. In addition they continue to study Genetics at New York’s
Cornell University. Since 1976, their philosophy has
been to produce the best quality gun dogs for
the field and home. "Our goal," observes Haglin, "is to
produce a dog that has an on/off switch. Take him into the field and he's
ready to hunt. Bring him in the house or kennel and he's ready to kick back,
lie around and watch TV." “We have developed, along with our
three sons, Travis, Grant and Morgan, and our dedicated employees, our ORVIS Endorsed English
Springer Spaniel kennel, Pine Shadows, in Brainerd, Minnesota,” says
Mark. “We are an active family with our springers hunting everything from
grouse and woodcock in Northern Minnesota, pheasants
in South Dakota and waterfowl in the prairie pothole regions of North
and South Dakota. All of our dogs are hunted and that gives us plenty
of real experience to evaluate our dogs.”
Mark and Sophie invite you to visit
their Pine Shadows Farm and see the dogs in action. |
Today the entire 180 acres are
devoted to dog training with natural grass fields,
cattail sloughs, grouse woods and other types of habitat hunting dogs find afield.
