I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how happy I am with my second English Pointer from Indian Creek
Kennels. As a hunter with no interest in field trials, I thought it was important to make everyday hunters aware
of how special your dogs are. Bella is just 1.5 years old and she hunts with more drive and natural ability than
any dog I have ever hunted over. As an extra bonus, she is has been a natural retriever since she was 6
months old. I can't imagine how she'll perform as she gets to be 2-3+ years old! Honestly, if she didn't
mature or improve at all, I think she would still outperform 99% of the hunting dogs I have seen in the field. In
addition to her unbelievable hunting ability, I have to say she is also the perfect companion for the family. My
three young kids can't get enough of her. In fact, Bella follows my 6 year old out to the school bus every
morning and she regularly curls up on my 8 years old lap in the evenings. Bella is proving to be the perfect
hunting dog and family companion and I couldn't be more pleased. I also wanted to ask for your assistance in
finding a home for my 5 year old Brittany, Lucky. As you know, Lucky spent a season training with you and
she is a fine hunting companion for someone looking for a closer ranging dog with a great nose and a solid
point. After hunting over Pointers from Indian Creek, I realize the Brittany just doesn't compare in terms of her
range and her drive. If you know of any casual hunters looking for a very obedient and easy going Brittany, I'd
like to find her a nice, new home. I'm not looking for a lot of money, just the right home where she will be
hunted and the owner isn't looking for the range or drive of one of your Pointers. Please let me know if
anyone comes to mind, and if so, I'd be happy to bring her to your farm in order for a prospective owner to
see her in action. Considering there are still a few more months of the commercial season remaining
(January - March), now is a great time for someone to hit the ground running with a trained dog. For the right
person, Lucky will make an excellent hunting companion for years to come.
Thanks again.

Hi Gary
After over 25 years training and competing with police k9 in uspca and napwada trials I retired and began bird
hunting again. I am so glad to have your kennel so close( it made it easy to buy 3 dogs) which I believe can
run with the best of them. I have never seen a kennel with such an exceptional line of dogs. They all point.
Hunting the preserve is top notch! Looking forward to 2010. Your kennel and preserve is the best kept secret
for the NJ Bird hunter enthusiast.
Thanks and see you soon!

I have been an upland hunter for nearly 20 years. I have had the privledge to hunt in many states and over
many fine dogs. I can honestly say that no one beats the caliber or character of any dog that has had the
honor of being trained or been born of Indian Creek Kennels. Garry Malzone runs a first class operation and
has produced some of the finest bird dogs I have ever seen. If energy, tenacity, drive, determination,
discipline and heart are what you seek in an English pointer or GSP, look no further. I bought my first GSP
from Garry 14 years ago. She was my college graduation present. Not only was she one of the best bird dogs
I ever hunted with, she was truly my best friend. Whether it be pheasant, chuckar, grouse or wookcock she
had a natural desire to hunt. In the offseason, she spent her days hunting milk bones on my couch and
snoring in my bed. Jesse never once growled or bit and was excellent around children. Unfortunately, she
recently passed away and there is now a void in my life and in my heart. When the time is right I know right
where I will find my next best friend.

I have to say that out of all the years I have been around upland bird hunting and bird hunting in general I
Have never met a group of dogs (adults, juveniles and puppies) that I was more impressed with than Indian
Creek Kennels! I have to give a huge amount of credit to Garry Malzone and his operation and True
testament to one of the best breed lines I have ever seen. Garry has an ability to work a dog like I have never
seen. I know I only spent a few hours with him today but I am very lucky to have had the chance to see proven
Champion English Pointers at work. Not just his ability to work a dog with No words but the blood lines that this
kennel has is without a doubt the best group of dogs that I have seen anywhere in the United States. To have
had the opportunity to witness what I witnessed today was truly a once in a lifetime chance. Garry I can't wait
to have the chance to visit you and your dogs again. I am looking forward to not only seeing your dogs and
you again but Can't wait to have a chance to hunt on an extremely beautiful piece of property. Your land and
preserve is an awesome site to see!! Thank you for taking the time to prove to me without a doubt you have
The best grip on English pointer training and blood lines that I have ever seen. East, West, North or South
hands down the most impressive thing I have ever had a chance to see. I am very happy for the opportunity to
own a dog you have worked as well as the chance to meet you. Keep up the Great work, my friend!! Thank
you.

I have been hunting at the Feather Bed Hunting Club for 31 years in Hunterton County NJ with 11 friends and
relatives. During that time, we have purchased dozens of german short hair and english pointers from several
breeders. We've had lots of promises and representations, have had successes and failures.
In 1997, a friend visited Gary Malzone of Indian Creek Kennels after reading an advertisement in a hunting
magazine. He purchased a puppy from Garry that turned out to be an outstanding bird dog. Over the years,
other members began buying puppies and dogs from Garry with results ranging from good to outstanding.
When I purchased my first dog from Garry in 2003, I was skeptical of breeders after being personally
disappointed. I was undecided between buying a puppy or a mature, proven, gun dog. Garry assured me that
after years of hard work, experience, and his selective breeding program, his puppies would perform to my
expectations - and he was right. Recently, I purchased a second puppy sired by his 2010 national shooting
dog of the year, CH Indian Creek Shine. In addition to being a great companion to my children and family, I
have been blown away by this puppies hunting instinct, passion, intelligence, and fine nose.
If you are serious about buying a solid gun dog, you owe yourself a visit to Garry Malzone. You won't be
disappointed.

training.Truly an amazing dog!

I know Garry for a number of year now and find him to have the best dogs and is the best trainer that I have
ever found. Bar none! He has the top breeding in the country and keeps producing outstanding dogs. His
record supports my claims. He has 4 dogs that have won National Dog of the Year Awards. Check this out at
uscomplete.org
2009/2010 standings
Open Puppy - Winner - Indian Creek Dallas
Open Derby - Winner - Indian Creek Cassandra
Open Derby - RU Winner - Indian Creek Blase
Open Shooting Dog - Winner - Indian Creek Shine
What a record!
You owe it to yourself to talk/visit Garry and see for yourself. Remember that a dog is a 10 -12 year
commitment. Why not start with the best and enjoy a "Brag" dog every season. You will not be sorry.

Having never owned, let alone trained a bird dog before, I must say that Indian Creek English pointers have
made the experience a pleasure. We purchased a puppy in 2009 for hunting first, house pet second. Our
pup, Ruby, has exceeded our expectations at both. She is a natural hunter and has pointed since she was 10
weeks old. My anxiety about my training skills are gone mostly due to the ability these dogs have. She is
fantastic with our kids, loves to travel and a constant companion. But as soon as that bird scent hits her nose,
she is all business. Gary Malzone is a true dog trainer who take pride in his business and especially his dogs.
He accomidated my family and I in ways other breeders would not. When you speak with Gary you'll find out
"it's all about the dogs!"

We wanted to take a moment to first thank you for spending the time with us to get to know you and your
amazing dogs. We appreciate your time in answering all of our questions honestly and professionally.
Watching your dogs in action was truly a display of what a English Pointer does and what it should do in the
field. The “all business” attitude, composition, and intensity in their eyes was incredible. As we mentioned
while in your presence, your dedication and love not only for the dogs but the breed itself, is truly
remarkable. Thank you for your dedication.Our pup is doing very well and getting along great with our other
dogs. He is now four months old and pointing everything in our yard. He passed with flying colors at his first
vet visit and we were told that we have a remarkable English Pointer pup and he will make an incredible
hunting partner to me and my Red Tail hawk. We are absolutely enjoying this lovable, full energy pup and
look forward to seeing him hunt this season.I would say to anyone looking for a English Pointer, please take
the time to speak with Garry - he knows this sport and more importantly he knows this breed - he knows their
habits and abilities and he will let you know if these dogs will be the right fit for you. Rest assured, if you
acquire an English Pointer from Garry Malzone at Indian Creek Kennels, you are getting the best!

A year ago I purchased a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy from Indian Creek Kennels in Hardyston, NJ. At
ten months old I brought him back to Garry to be trained. Two months later to my surprise I picked up a
completely finished, steady to wing and kill one year old dog. Since then I have literally killed hundreds of
birds and won several walking derby field trial stakes. I have hunted over all types of dogs on various types of
birds and nothing has come close to the quality of my dog. Bo lives in the house and sleeps in my bed and is
the most loving companion you can ask for. Dogs are a dime a dozen, quality bird dogs come once in a life
time. I would highly recommend visiting Indian Creek Kennels if you are looking for a quality bird dog.

Garry,
Can't tell you how happy we are with Cheese (AKA Terminator), she is 100% more than what I expected have
not seen a dog like this in a long time. Hope her puppy crackers will have some of her good blood and with
your training 2009 should be a good year.

Hi Garry,
Having watched your string of dogs in the field for me was a testament to the quality of your breeding for both
hunter and trialer alike. I've personally learned so much about dogs at Indian Creek that combined with the
quality of your dogs you've added enjoyment to my hunts both on the preserve and elsewhere. It also
showed me firsthand that a lot of the stereotypes of Pointers as aloof runoffs to be untrue. We look forward
to getting our next Indian Creek pup.

DIFFERENT HABITAT TYPES.

Hi Garry,
I could not believe my eyes Sunday when I came up to Indian Creek to see my dog and what you had done in
two short weeks. He went from just pet to hunting dog . He was pointing live birds like he had done it for years.
It gave me chills to watch you work my dog and he had so much confidence in what you taught him to do. Cant
even think what he will be like when your done with his training. All I can say is THANKS!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Gary Yuro

Garry,
Thanks so much for sending the pictures. It was a wonderful experience hunting with you and watching you
work your magic with those dogs. I was not able to find the address of Indian Creek, in Sussex County on your
web site. If I can find some excuse to get to New Jersey I would like nothing better than to call you to reserve a
spot for a day's hunt. I plan to return to Bonaventure next year, maybe a week or two later when the leaves
will be thinner and there might be a few flight birds down from the North. If you plan to be there, I would
appreciate knowing when so that I might schedule my trip coincident with yours. It would be a pleasure to
accompany you in the woods and watch you work again.
Regards,
Frank

Dear Garry,
I just wanted to extend my thanks for all of the time that you spent with me today. As a novice, I feel much
more confident knowing the training "building blocks" that you shared with me. Experience is the greatest
teacher, and with all of your advice, I'm sure to make less mistakes. The family is ecstatic to have Sugar back
looking forward to hunting at Indian Creek in the fall.
Sincerely,
Mike

Garry,
Just a quick note to say how pleased we are with "Joe". As you know with our two young daughters and three
labs I was a little unsure on what to expect from our new pointer. I knew what his hunting abilities were but I am
shocked to tell you that not only has he become part of the family but is now the girls favorite! He stays in the
house with us and we leave him outside when weather allows and he will not venture beyond the yard without
us, even when the grouse are drumming 100 yards away!
I needed a working upland dog to guide with, I never thought that this bird finding machine would be such a
loving pet as well. Feel free to use me as a reference for both your ability as a trainer and the quality of your
dogs and their bloodlines. Keep in touch.

Thanks for having such a great Seminar. It was informative and your approach to teaching was effective.Using
dogs at various stages of learning showed how dogs should progress. Your training facility is second to none.
Using live birds made the experience real. I learned so much, I am sure that you have saved me from making
many mistakes.Your love and passion for your dog showed thru and inspired all of us.
Thanks for a great day
