What Our Clients Say...

Pat Burns

When I met Misty from PepperJack Kennels I was immediately impressed by her relationship with her dogs.   Misty and Marty don’t cut any corners when it comes to the training and care for their dogs.  The young dogs that I watched were very well prepared and they trained with an upbeat attitude.  PepperJack Kennels has dramatically improved their training grounds in recent years.  Misty is hungry to continue to evolve and it shows in the quality of all-age and young dogs that are coming out of the PepperJack program.

I have had dogs with PepperJack for 2 years and I can say my dogs have been very well taken care of and got lots of work. Misty is one of the hardest working trainers I know and she respects and cares about the dogs. They have amazing grounds and a great team. It’s been a pleasure working with them.

I have had Pepper Jack Kennels training a young Labrador for me. The dog had success in the Derby and ran The National Derby Championship. I subsequently ran him in a Qualifying with a win. PJK has wonderful grounds to train on in Wisconsin. Currently my dog is in training to transition to All-Age stakes. The care PJK gives their retrievers is outstanding. I highly recommend them.

I have always attributed Willow’s early training foundation from PJK to have contributed greatly to her confidence and how well she has done in further training, hunt tests and of course as my waterfowl hunting partner.  She is spoken of highly within my group of hunting partners.  I am excited to have her daughter Gemma with Misty and Team PepperJack now and the care, attention and training is second to none just as I remember with Willow.

If you are looking for world-class retriever training, look no further. Whether chasing a national championship in an AKC field trial stake, or wanting a rock-solid hunting companion and good citizen by your side; PJK produces results. It all starts with the genuine care for the dogs and clients themselves. From there a proven program and tireless effort from a dedicated team of people will help get you and your retriever wherever you want to go.

Jessica Rockwell

I have had the pleasure of working for Pepperjack Kennels and am now a client. During my time working at PJK, I was absolutely baffled at the upmost attention to detail that Misty and Marty put into their entire program. Misty’s fairness, level head, sportsmanship and respect for all dogs she works with is truly inspirational. Marty always goes above and beyond to answer any questions that I have. As a previous employee, I saw first hand the cleanliness of the dogs living and travel spaces as well as the type of care you can expect your dog to have while with PJK. As a very particular dog owner, I feel good about knowing that my dogs are being cared for and loved just as they would when they are home. PepperJack Kennels is the only kennel I would consider for my competitive retriever training needs.

I have been with PJK since its infancy. All aspects of the program are top-notch - from the ultimate care and feeding of the dogs, to the first class grounds, to the thoughtful and thorough training that meets the needs of each individual dog.  Whether you're developing your next hunting companion, or field trial champion, Misty and the crew at PJK will work tirelessly to help you and your dog reach that goal.

Misty, Marty, and the rest of the PJK family sets the standards for Retriever Training. From grounds and facilities, to the compassion they have for your dogs, you will not find a better team. I'm proud to be a part of such awesome camp!

I have relied on PJK for both training and breeding for many years. An incredibly talented trainer, Misty Melo will custom train my gun dogs for my style of hunting. Misty’s success in field trials speaks for itself. Honest and reliable. You can’t go wrong with this remarkable company.

Kate Macartney

PepperJack Kennels has trained my Labrador retrievers for at least the past ten years. When I send a well bred lab to them, I know I will get back a fully trained, obedient, house broken retriever who can perform in the field. And there is no one who takes better care of dogs!! Plus PJK is honest and trustworthy with your future lifetime hunting companion.

Mike Sorsky

I was in need of a new duck hunting dog, and a good friend of mine recommended Pepper Jack Kennels, which is owned and run by Misty & Marty Melo. I had Misty train one of her female pups for me, that I named Moxie. I've never owned a better dog in my entire life. She also trained my son's dog, named Kisa. Like Moxy, Kisa is a pure pleasure to hunt over.  Misty is without a doubt the finest trainer I've ever known and dealt with. If you are looking for a top quality hunting and family dog, I would highly recommend you give Pepper Jack Kennels a call. You will not be disappointed.
