My experience with Little Wing Gun Dogs and its
owner, Jim Cannizzaro, have been entirely positive.
For years I knew I wanted an English Pointer, but
living in Maine I found no local breeders. Not
knowing how to proceed I found Little Wing Gun Dogs
through a google search. Comparing them to similar
breeders, some with fancier websites and more
expensive dogs, I got in touch with Jim a little
reluctant about how Little Wing would stack-up by
comparison. After contacting Jim and doing more
research, Jim not only met but exceeded expectations
compared to other breeders. Recently finding out
that the sire to the dam of my pup, National
Champion Great River Ice, recently won his second
National Champion and Jims female, the mother to the
dam, produced the 2014 National Open Champion. I was
very impressed and new Jim was producing some
serious dogs.
Now, having purchased my puppy,
Rushmore, from Little Wing I can safely say that
their dogs are of absolutely the highest quality and
raised in a professional kennel, located on a
beautiful country setting. My dog is healthy,
friendly, athletic, and highly intelligent... in
short, everything you would want in a active pup. I
can't say enough good things for the quality of
Little Wing's dogs and think that when you compare
against more expensive breeders this is truly a best
kept secret. Additionally, when it comes to matters
of business, Jim was always very quick in responding
to my email enquiries and questions, which as a
newbie dog owner, I really appreciated. In short, I
would have no reluctance to recommend Little Wing
Gun Dogs to anyone considering buying a pointing dog
of any breed and happily offer this testimonial.

I just wanted to share my experience with Jim and
Little Wing Gun Dogs. I first began to look for an
English Pointer shortly after my German Shorthair/
Lab Mix passed away unexpectedly in June 2014. After
doing a lot of looking online, I came across Little
Wing Gun Dogs and went and met my puppy that night!
Jim was extremely easygoing and I was blown away
with his dogs and his facility. I could tell
immediately the dogs were well taken care of and the
facility always kept pristine. The day I was able to
bring Brewerton Range home was a wonderful day for
my daughter, my home, and myself. He has been a
great addition to our family and is more than I
could have imagined! I have owned several bird dogs
and bird dog mixes in the past, but he is my first
English Pointer. I am over the moon with his
temperament, his athleticism, and his gentle ways
with my three year old. He instantaneously bonded
with my daughter and has been a great companion for
her. We are so happy with our little man and
couldn’t have imagined a better dog for our home. A
huge Thank You to Jim for all of his hard work and
his love for English Pointers!

When my two German Shorthaired sisters died at 15-
years and 16- years old, I was devastated. The two
dogs left are from the litter of one of the
Shorthairs and are 10 years old. They aren’t really
very affectionate or engaging. I almost feel except
for their barking that I don’t really have any dogs.
I want to be loved in a very special way by my dogs.
They fill a very special need in my life. When we
got the Shorthairs my husband was recovering from a
quadruple by-pass and needed the puppies for
emotional support and to provide daily stimulation/
exercise. Summer 2014, I found myself in need of a
special puppy and my husband was again in need of
some emotional support and daily stimulation/
exercise as a consequence of his health. I was
looking for a Pointer and my daughter wanted to get
littermates, so I went to look at Jim’s English
Pointers. I was impressed with his facility and the
interaction his dogs had with him. It definitely
indicated that Jim was an engaged and caring
breeder. I loved the energy of the English Pointers
and was sold on purchasing littermates with my
daughter. Miss K is extremely bright and wants to
please; therefore, she picks up commands very
quickly. She points beautifully and is beginning to
bark when appropriate. She follows me all around the
house and loves to cuddle with my husband and with
me. She integrated very well with the cranky old
ladies and now they both love playing with her.
She’s excellent with my granddaughter. She will try
to steal food from your hand or out of your mouth if
your not watching but she’s just a baby. Manners do
take some time to refine. (lol) She goes everywhere
with us and we are very happy she has become a
member of our family.

Hello Jim,
I just want to write to you to
tell you how happy I am with the puppy out of Night
Ryder and Dolly Dagger. He has adapted very well to
living in our home and he gets along very well with
his “agility” trainer," Buddy", our Bichon /
Maltese. This is my first experience with an English
Pointer after losing my German Short Hair and to
tell you the truth I am blown away with the
athleticism and grace of this English Pointer puppy.
This little pup shows all the potential and positive
behavior one could ask for in a bird dog puppy. I
feel like I got lucky with this dog and I will keep
you posted on his progress.
Best Regards,
Kirk Mayer Bethlehem PA |

Hey Jim,
Writing to let you know how happy I
am with the Great River Ice Pup. Rudy is 5 months
old now, and he's a very classy and stylish pup with
lots of drive. He is showing a lot of potential and
I can't wait to compete with him in the BDC

He is also a very affectionate
and friendly pup, just like his mother Belle.

Just want to let you know, Xena is doing very well.
She is enjoying our family as we are enjoying her!
She is a very well mannered, well bread dog who
learns quickly and has great natural instincts. She
is very affectionate yet very protective. Xena has
been hunting several times down at Amwell with
myself and my father in-law. Her hunting abilities
are outstanding. She is a natural!

Jim, I wanted to drop you a line about the English
pointer pup my wife and I purchased from your
kennel. I used to hunt birds quite a bit during the
'60's and'70's before the natural wild pheasants in
NJ disappeared. I've always admired English pointers
for their hunting ability and classic "look". Only
recently did my wife and I decide to find one, as a
house dog mainly, as I haven't hunted birds in
years. We've checked regularly over a year with
different breeders, Craigslist, paper adds and any
place else. When we found LITTLE WING GUN DOGS, we
were surprised at your close location compared to
other breeders we found online, mostly out of state
with high shipping cost. When we found out you had a
female pup for sale we had to check it out. Though
we came to your kennel at night, we saw enough to
see the quality of your facility you run; clean,
spacious and very well kept. We bought Winnie that
night, and she is really a good looking dog! Orange
and white, light nose and really nice hazel eyes!
Jim gave us a very fair price and considering the
champion bloodlines of Winnies pedigree, I can't ask
for a better deal! We are pleased all around and if
you're looking for a quality bird dog, or companion
dog with a solid background history, you gotta check
out Little Wing. I've already got a couple of
buddies interested for their next dog and I just
might break down and pay the state of NJ for a
Quail/pheasant stamp! It turns out she's not only a
beautiful pup, she's got alot of natural ability and
I haven't started any formal training yet! Thanks
Jim!

A fine example of a hunting dog. We would

Winston |
Jim,
We love our Winston and couldn’t be
happier to have him in the family! He is loving,
gentle, intelligent, obedient, and has such a
personality! Winston is without doubt a truly
special dog, which speaks highly to the quality of
your breeding program. We do not hunt with him, but
he enjoys pointing at birds, bees, and any other
flying insects in the yard. He also enjoys play time
with his friends at the dog park, long walks, hikes,
car rides, chewing on sticks, snacking on treats,
and cuddling on the couch. We were lucky enough to
meet Winston’s sister, Abbey (same parents,
different litter) at the dog park and they are the
best of friends! He is great with people and other
dogs, and wants to make friends with every stranger
he meets. Thank you so much for Winston. I would
highly recommend your dogs to anyone interested in
an English Pointer. They are an amazing breed and
you raise outstanding examples of the breed! Thanks
again and I’ll be sure to send you some updated
photos of our handsome boy!
Sincerely, Amy
& Robert Schinagl |

Little Wing Luca Brasi |
Meet Little Wings Luca Brasi. At
four and a half months old I watched Luca pointing and
running with a high tail and saw his potential, even as Jim
was telling me that Luca was his male pick of the Elhew
Signature/Dolly Dagger breeding. Luca's yard training began
the very next day, and I was immediately impressed with his
quick learning and retention ability. At six months old he
was holding to flush. His Hall of Fame breeding was evident
throughout his training. He has a large head and frame and
is striking on point. Despite Luca's size he carries himself
effortlessly and tirelessly through the field, seemingly
having no bottom to his stamina.
I started shooting
quail and pheasant over Luca until field trials began in the
Spring, when I easily broke him to wing and shot. On Sunday
March 25th Luca took First Place in the Penn Jersey Walking
Amateur Derby at 11 months old. Luca has been a tremendous
addition to my kennels, and we are just getting started! If
your looking for a quality gun dog from a first class
facility I highly recommend Jim at Little Wing Gun Dogs.

Daisy and Jazz |
Hi Jim,
I took
Daisy to Stafford Forge WMA on Saturday for some birds. I
watched 20 guys and 5 dogs walk through the field I wanted
to hunt and thought this was going to be a waste of time.
Well 20 minutes later we pulled 3 birds out of the same
field. I had a bunch of guys ask me “where did you get that
dog?”.
I also met
up with a friend yesterday who has a very disciplined German
Shorthair Pointer that is truly a good hunting dog. We
hunted the dogs together for the first time and Daisy found
4 of the 5 birds, but I was most impressed by how she
honored the other dog's point.
When I
started looking for my first bird dog I was looking for a
GSP it was you that told me English Pointers are a much
classier dog and now I know why. Thanks again for all your
expert advice and all the time you spent and training you
did with Daisy Bell. She runs with so much intensity and is
a great house pet but most importantly my best friend. She
has completely changed my life.
Thanks,
Tom Allen

Hi, Jimmy,
JJ is growing up very well. She is
about 20 pounds and just received another puppy shot from
petco. She is a very happy dog and showing great potential
of being a great gun dog. Thanks for the great pup, it was a
pleasure visiting your facility and seeing some really
fascinating dogs. I have to say after visiting your facility
and seeing how it is i've never seen anything quite like it,
it's undoubtedly the best and can see why now and how kept
is. I would recommend a dog out of little wing kennels to
anyone.

Hi Jim,
My girlfriend and I
bought a German Shorthair Pointer pup (we named him Boehiem)
from Little Wing in July of 2010 and I wanted to write to
you to tell how absolutely thrilled we are with our dog. He
has a terrific temperament and is great with our young
nieces and nephews and with other dogs. He can go from
running around outside with me to sitting nicely as my
girlfriend’s 10 month old niece happily pats him on his
back. He has also become the object of affection to our
neighbors, who will often come out of their houses when I am
walking him to tell me what a good looking dog we have. He
has literally stopped traffic as one person that drove by us
once, got out of his car to ask what breed he is and where I
got him. Which I gladly told him.
What has really
impressed me is his natural hunting instincts. Neither me
nor my girlfriend are hunters and have never trained him to
hunt/point, but he was pointing by 3 months and sniffing out
birds shortly after. One day about a month after we got him,
I was walking him outside our house. He was to the side of
me and I noticed that he had stopped walking and started to
“stalk” towards a bush. I didn’t see anything and just
thought the dog was crazy. As he got closer to the bush he
broke out into a point. I still didn’t see anything so I got
down to his vantage point, peeked through the bushes and on
the other side of the fence was a bird. Words could not
express how impressed I was with him. He still does this to
this day, even without any training.
He is also
amazingly athletic, which I am sure would translate well in
the field. He is about 58 lbs, very muscular and extremely
fast and agile. When we are playing fetch with his football,
his favorite toy, he seems to return the ball to me through
the path of most resistance (over/under lawn chairs) just to
test himself. He is very eager and open to being trained and
is a fast learner.
If anyone is looking for a great
gun dog, or just a great dog in general, I would definitely
suggest they go to Little Wing, we have been nothing but
happy with our dog.
Thank you again,
Andrew |

Little Wing Lady Kira |
Hi Jim,
It’s been a
challenging month with my 90 year old mother dying at our
home. She passed away on Saturday in the middle of the
hurricane. The bright side of all of this has been our Kira.
She is the best dog we have ever had. She’s not only
gorgeous, intelligent and a terrific cuddler, but she has
adapted so well to living in Margate!! She “points” on our
walks at every bird and seagull on the beach, but she also
sits patiently while we chat with neighbors on our walks.
We’re still working on “heel”. I was a little frightened
about purchasing a powerhouse dog for a city-seaside
environment. Thankfully, you were absolutely right; Kira is
not an energy “wacko”, her two daily runs with my son and
more sedate walks with me are all she needs. She has never
jumped up on the kitchen counter begging or looking for
food. She sits quietly for a treat if we offer one. I guess
you can see that we think she is perfect!! And she has given
us so many much needed laughs!!
Thank you again for a
great dog and bringing so much happiness to our family.
Sincerely,
Sharon

February and were
so impressed with Jim's
immaculate facility and knowledge of all things
Pointer, that we gave him a deposit right then for
an upcoming

will be 13 weeks old we are so glad that we did. His
temperament and health are great. I would definitely

We wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience
and for helping us find the perfect pet. We really
appreciate the time that you spent putting your dogs
on birds and answering all of our questions. We were
very impressed with Little Wing Gun Dogs and it was
because of you that we decided to go with an English
Pointer.
We have had Daisy for one month and she is already
part of the family. We also appreciate you taking
her back for training and be very accommodating. We
would highly recommend Little Wing Gun Dogs to
anyone looking for a high quality gun dog or pet.
Thanks again for a great experience.

Hello Jim,
It's been a while since I
sent an update. Gyp is now 2 1/2 and continues to be
a gem and more than we asked for in a gun dog,
companion and family dog.
He is a source of support for my niece 3 who has
been through 3 open heart surgeries. She says Gyp
come live with me. He is her constant guardian when
she is here. Always lays with her and comforts her.
She has many long talks with him, brings tears to my
eyes to see how understanding he seems to be of her
disabilities.
He is also my 86 year old
mothers best buddy, gentle as ever with her and her
guardian. Gives me a sense of comfort to know he is
with her when I am away.
And hunt he does he would
go 24/7 if we'd let him. Always ready to retrieve,
even in water. He hears a shot and is ready to take
off, even if it's off in the distance and we didn't
do the shooting. I am asked frequently to assist
other hunters and if we would accompany hunters so
they can use my dog.
He definitely is worth bragging about. He is the
most flexible dog I have ever owned and wears many
hats. Thank you for a great dog. When the time comes
I will definitely purchase from you again. PS my vet
is in love with Gyp and is impressed with his
breeding and temperament. Thank You again. Nancy

I would like to take a
moment to offer my deepest thanks for the effort and
work you have put into the breeding of your dogs .
I am convinced that your
breeding and hard work has made a difference in the
quality of your dogs we hunters have come to enjoy .
I have had the pleasure
of buying one of your dogs ( English Pointer ). He
is not only what you suggested he would be as a
hunter, but he has been for the last 2 & 1/2 years a
dog like none other I have ever had . He has a great
demeanor , a great desire to hunt ,and He has taken
to training like no other dog I have owned , well
lets just say my enjoyment with him , can only be
matched by the level of hunting I now experience
with this animal.
Thanks for your hard work,

Hi Jim,
I purchased an English
Pointer from you back in August, he was one of the
two males left. "Hemingway" (as we named him), has
been a great pup and is doing a really good job. I'm
looking for a little advice on dog training. He's
around 7 mos. old at this point. I spent some time
when he was a little younger introducing him to live
birds and trying to gun break him, both which have
been successful at this point. I've trained him to
"whoa" and "here" commands, and again he's done very
well with that. As we get some of this initial
training behind us and move forward I'm starting to
feel that I would like a more experienced hand
working with him. Do you have any suggestions on
moving forward on his progress, such as
recommendations on training methods? Any info. would
be greatly appreciated. Again, I'd like to thank you
for producing such an awesome pointer, he seems to
have intelligence and instincts beyond what I could
of expected. I look forward to hearing from you.

Jim, Flash our 2010 New
Years Day pup out of Bell is now 1 year old and I
just want to say THANK YOU! I could not have made a
better choice when I chose your kennel and this
breeding. Your recomendation of what I was looking
was right on. I have been hunting him since the
season opened on both wild and liberated birds. I
have been hunting since a toddler with my dad and in
my 30+ years of upland hunting I have never seen
such a speciman, he is better than most adult dogs I
have seen in there prime, and has become the talk
around the bird dog community. Your Kennel is
prestine and your dogs are outstanding. I'll be
looking for another gun dog soon to add to the
family. My wife and 3 year old cannot get enough of
him and he is so gentle around the kids. Keep up the
good work and will be talking soon.

Jim,
I just wanted to let you know that the dog I
purchased from you 2 in half years ago is doing
well. My dad calls him a hunting machine and is
amazed at his work rate. He puts up as many or more
birds than the 9 year old English Pointer, who is a
very good dog in his own right. The young dog hunts
hard, points, finds down birds and is starting to
retrieve on a regular basis.

Our English pointer pup
Daisy,or as I call her “The Daiser” is fantastic.
She is as personable and friendly with people and
other dogs as you can get. She takes her hunting and
pointing skills very seriously. She is a pleasure to
watch, and is as fast as the wind, My wife and kids
love her and find her quite amusing. We love the

Hi Jim,
We are so happy with our English Pointer from Little
Wing Gun Dogs. We got him when he was 10 weeks old
and he already gets into a point. Although we are
sure he would make an excellent hunting dog, we have
him as our family pet. After only 3 weeks of having
him, we can tell already he is intelligent,
friendly, energetic and loving. He is quick to learn
commands and tricks. We are so happy and delighted
with our new addition to the family!
The Little Wing Gun Dog facility is impressive. The
kennel is on a beautiful piece of property where the
dogs and puppies can run and play. It was great to
have the opportunity to meet our puppy's mother too.
That's a very nice added benefit of buying from this
breeder. Overall, the facility is clean and very
well maintained. All the paperwork was in order and
provided to us on the spot. It is obvious this
family has a passion for what they do and care for
these dogs very much. The dogs and puppies are
treated extremely well. What a great facility! We
had no doubts as soon as we walked on the property
that this was where we wanted to purchase our new
addition to our family.
Thanks,

We decided on an English
Pointer and were happy to find a breeder - Little
Wing Kennels - nearby us in Flemington, NJ. As it
turned out Jim Cannizzaro was helpful and true to
his word. His dogs are sweet and beautiful. His
kennel is clean, his methods are professional and he
is clearly experienced and determined to breed world
class results. We paid a very reasonable price and
went away with a beautiful well tempered and
intelligent new family member. She is a loving dog
who enjoys interacting with people and dogs alike.
Everyone who meets her is taken by her beauty,
stature and good nature. This was a very lucky find
for us and we can only offer the highest
recommendation for Little Wing.

Hi Jim!
We couldn't be happier with our new puppy. We named
him Boeheim(pronounced Bay-hime) after the legendary
Syracuse basketball coach. He's already recognizing
his name and responding when we tell him to "come."
We can tell he is extremely intelligent, as he
almost always tells us when he needs to be let out
to go to the bathroom. Yesterday we saw him do what
looked like a point! It was great! He's got a great
temperament and is enjoying meeting our families and
friends.
Again thank you so much for our new little Guy! We
love him tremendously!

Jim, I cannot say enough
about you and your kennel and most of all our little
Sunny since the moment taking her home. From the
moment my wife and I walked into your facility we
knew we were going home with a new addition to our
family. After visiting a couple of kennels and
seeing your dogs in action Little Wing Kennels is by
far a first class facility was the place. The size
was right and most of all was clean. Thanks for
helping with the name too. We can’t wait to start
hunting her this season, she has been a pleasure to
work with. We knew her pointing abilities were
natural when seeing and picking her out at 8 weeks
of age but after running her with our friends
pointer not only is she pointing but
also backing natural, incredible at such a young
age. Jim thanks for all your help and answering any
questions we have, by far you have the best facility
I have ever seen and would recommend to anyone.
Thanks, John and Donna
Pesenti

Hi Jim,
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you
for the wonderful male English Pointer Pup that I
purchased from you and your kennel in February. The
male pup is doing great and shows all the signs of
being a great birddog hunting dog. Everyone that has
seen the dog says he looks great and is very active.
I was also very impressed with your kennel and all
of your birddogs. You have a first rate operation!
Thanks again Jim and I look forward to talking to
you soon!

Our pup (Gyp) is now 1 yr
old and in his first full season of birds. He is an
absolute blast to hunt with. Extremely attentive
easy to handle and has tons of drive. We have had
him out several times so far and have great success.
Just hope our shooting is good because he is ready
to retrieve the minute he hears the shot. He easily
adjusts from being out in the field to being a couch
potato and companion for my 85 year old mom.. He has
a great sense about him. He is a clown with my son
and gentle as can be with my mom. I have people stop
me on our walks and training sessions all the time
and compliment on how well trained he is and
obedient. He is the perfect all around dog for an
active family who loves the outdoors. Thanks again
Jim, we couldn't ask for better.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for checking in on Bela and us. Bela is
such a wonderful addition to us. She is pretty much
house broken and so smart. She even has started to
point on a few occasions. Thank you again, we could
have not gotten such a awesome puppy if it wasn't
for you.

Hi Jim,
We have been training
with a friend of mine who breeds German Shorthair
Pointers and is newly set up for training dogs. She
is hugely impressed with Gyp and his breeding. She
said he is one of the funnest dogs she ever worked
with and has a great level of awareness. And oh that
nose. he has located 100% of the birds we placed and
ones that were left over from previous sessions. We
continue to work on the whoa and steady on the
point. His drive is incredible. Today we shot
chukars with him, he did great. She said he is ready
for puppy trials. Not sure if I'm ready for that.
Thank You again for all your help and especially
helping us get started.
We greatly appreciate all you've done.

My search for the perfect
mesh of gun dog and family companion was a long and
arduous one, which led me to visit close to a dozen
different breeders throughout Southern New Jersey,
Delaware and Eastern Pennsylvania .
After not being 100%
satisfied with the animals we saw at the other
facilities we visited, I took a chance and drove
outside my desired range to Little Wing Kennels in
Flemington , NJ . From the second I arrived at Jim
Cannizzaro’s facility, I knew I was at the right
place. His kennels were modern and clean, and all
the dogs were in exceptionally good condition. The
grounds of the facility were ideally suited for
training gun dogs and it was clear that Jim was a
skilled and experienced trainer and handler.
I couldn’t be happier with Piper, the female orange
and white English Pointer, that we selected. It was
clear to from day one that she was accustomed
interacting with humans and had received an
exceptional amount of one-on-one training with Jim.
Little Wing Kennels was precisely the kind of
breeder we were looking to work with, and ultimately
led to us finding the perfect fit for our family.

You folks started her out
very nicely. She is bold and inquisitive and has a
level of confidence to the point of being impudent.
She is already fitting right in with my four adult
dogs. You and your family did that and you did it
well. She is as well socialized as any pup I have
ever dealt with.
She is also a very smart dog...you don't have to
show her something more than once or twice. I may
have to pick up my game in the training department,
just to keep one step ahead of her.
You may be assured that she will have every chance
to succeed that I can give her. If she matures into
the kind of dog I think she will, we are both going
to have a lot of fun. We shall see what we shall
see.

Jim our pup Sydney and
she is doing great! We adore her and feel like she
is perfect for us.
She is great with us and
other dogs/people, is starting to learn (picks up
very quickly), sleeps ALL night (from the first
night on), and has LOTS of energy! We live near a
large field so we take her out there daily to get
her exercised. She also has had a few vet visits so
far and all is well. I can't say enough positive
things about our pup!
Thanks

Little Wing Kennels
produces top bred dogs. The 5 month old English
Pointer pup, named, Lucy, we acquired has great
potential and has quickly become a member of our
family. She was pointing quail at 8 weeks old and we
plan to make her a top notch grouse and woodcock
wild bird hunter with the help of Little Wing
Kennels. Little Wing Kennels is very selective on
breeding top dogs.

Jim,
I have the orange and
white pup. He is getting big, has stolen everyone’s
heart, and more importantly is hunting well. I
started hunting him at 3 months, as he had the
desire and was afraid of nothing. He has put up a
few birds and is very excited when one gets knocked
down. We just went and bought some Quail to put out
this weekend for the pup, he winded them from 15 to
20 yds away, found them and put them up.
Thanks John Rogers
