Legacy Lines.
Proven Performance.
Raising Dogs.
At Spangler Creek Farm & Kennels, our dogs represent decades of careful breeding, professional training, and real-world field performance. Each dog carries a legacy of skill, temperament, and reliability - from the foundation lines we maintain to the champions we develop in the field.
Our program emphasizes pedigree, natural talent, and development, ensuring every dog has the foundation to succeed both in the hunting field and in the show line. Led by Austin Trawick, a Field Champion in walking shooting dog competition, we combine professional expertise with intentional breeding and training practices.
Raising Standards.
Myla
5 Year Old Female · Foundation Mama Dog
Myla is the heart of our kennel and the foundation of our breeding program. At five years old, she is all bird dog - stylish, intelligent, and naturally gifted in the field. Her nose is exceptional, her point is honest, and she works with a quiet confidence that never needs to be forced.
What truly sets Myla apart is her ability to honor another dog’s work. She shows respect, self-control, and teamwork in the field - holding steady without interfering, flushing prematurely, or stealing a retrieve. It’s a trait that reflects both instinct and maturity, and one we value deeply in a well-rounded hunting dog.
She is highly biddable and thrives on partnership with her handler, eager to take direction while maintaining the independence needed to hunt effectively. Myla is the kind of dog that makes everything look natural - and that’s no accident. She represents exactly what we strive to produce: talent, balance, and reliability in the field, paired with sound temperament and intelligence at home.
Lancer
7.5 Year Old Male · Field Champion
Lancer is the definition of a proven dog. At 7.5 years old, he holds the title of Field Champion, the highest competitive honor in AKC Pointing Breeds Field Trials - earned through consistent, exceptional performance in demanding, real-world hunting scenarios.
He possesses a natural retrieve, meaning his instincts to pick up and deliver birds are genuine and unforced. Combined with his great nose, classic style, and biddable nature, Lancer is an all-around gun dog and shooting dog in the truest sense of the word. He is as dependable in the field as he is impressive to watch.
As a stud dog, Lancer brings proven genetics, sound temperament, and real performance to the table. He is the kind of dog you build a program around - not because of a title alone, but because he consistently delivers where it matters most: in the field.
Spangler kennel is about stewardship, not shortcuts.
Toby
Toby carries one of the strongest legacies in the breed as the son of the most winningest German Shorthaired Pointer in All-Age history - and he’s proving he belongs. With a hard drive, natural retrieve, and long, square nose, Toby puts everything together when it counts. He is a big shooting dog with the talent and intensity to match his pedigree and a very bright future ahead as a stud.
SALT
Salt is a beautiful, stylish female with a natural retrieve and an excellent nose. She comes from exceptional legacy stock, with both parents being All-Age National Field Champions. That pedigree shows up in her work - she’s a strong shooting dog who loves the hunt and handles herself with confidence and purpose in the field.
Summer 2026 litter expected with Toby.
Trip
Already showing great promise at a young age. Strong nose, quick learner, and placing in amateur trials. Developing fast and proving to be a valuable addition to the future of the kennel.

Chubb
A promising young dog with a great nose and natural style. Still finding his path, with strong potential and an easygoing nature. Equally content working the field or staying close to his people - often under a blanket.
Every dog at Spangler Creek is the result of intentional breeding, careful development, and expert training. From pedigree to performance, from puppies to champions, our dogs represent the standards we uphold and the trust placed in us by owners, competitors, and hunters alike.
