Iowa Pointing Lab

Yesterday was our Iowa Pointing Labs pup's 4th birthday. She was a "COVID puppy" who joined us when we were isolating at home and I could no longer resist my husband's longing for a dog. I wanted a smaller, non-shedding breed. He wanted nothing but a lab. Now I know why; I am totally smitten with Sami. She has a beautiful face and is healthy, fit, active, quiet and an engaging companion. At 65 pounds, she's not a "big dog." My husband thought he'd hunt with Sami as he did with his previous labs, but that hasn't happened...though I have no doubt Sami would do well. She loves being outside and spends most of her days patrolling our 1 acre yard (with invisible fence.) She loves being given a command to chase the deer off our property.

Can't recommend IPL enough! Rocky has been a fantastic pup! He was a pup from Emma and Blaze. He's only 10 months currently and is already fantastic in the field. His first season and his points are already rock-hard, he patterns incredibly well, and has been great on retrieves. If you're on the fence about having Icber train your pup from them, do it! This dog is miles ahead of where he would be without his training. It is clear how well the dog liked him when I came to work with him. Also this dog has a great off switch at home, even with our kids tackling and wrestling with him! Highly recommend Iowa Pointing Labs for your next dog! Read more >

Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a hunting dog or an amazing dog in the home. I purchased a Black female a month ago, and Karissa is amazing at explaining everything and answering all of my questions. Amazing dogs amazing people that love and care about their dogs. Read more >

Icber and Karissa did a tremendous job with Red a pointing lab. I never seen a dog get excited about wanting his electronic collar on as Red. He listens well, quarter’s nicely and stays close when hunting birds.
His points are rock solid and he holds them until released.
Once retrieving a bird he sits at your side until you put your hand out and say drop it.

Red is only 16 months old and it look’s like he maybe one of my best hunting dogs. I have had dogs all my life and in my 60’s. Read more >
