About the Kennel

Welcome to Lumpy's Kennels, training and boarding facility, specializing in training hunting dogs, competition dogs, and obedience for companion dogs.

Lumpy’s Kennels is owned and operated by Jeff Lemmenes. Jeff has been training dogs professionally, full time, for over 10 years. Lumpy’s Kennels trains all types of gun dogs… flushers, retrievers, and pointers, including blood scent trailers and hounds, as well as obedience training for companion dogs.

We train through all Wisconsin seasons – even the winter. Scenting conditions are great and the cover has been groomed to handle the Wisconsin winters. This is a GREAT time to lay the foundation then roll into spring/summer and reinforce the training to have a confident, well trained bird dog come fall. 

At Lumpy’s Kennels, we are dedicated to producing and developing high-quality gun dogs through a carefully managed breeding and training program.

Our breeding philosophy is centered around proven bloodlines known for performance, intelligence, temperament, and natural hunting ability. Each pairing is thoughtfully selected to ensure our puppies have the genetic foundation to succeed both in the field and as well-balanced companions at home.

We are equally passionate about developing exceptional gun dogs and building lasting relationships with both dogs and their owners. With a strong foundation rooted in proven training methods and real-world hunting experience, our program is designed to bring out the very best in every dog—whether in the field, at home, or in competition.
From young puppies to finished gun dogs, our training approach focuses on developing natural ability, enhancing instinct, and creating a strong bond between dog and handler. Every dog that comes through our program receives individualized attention to ensure they reach their full potential.
At Lumpy’s Kennels, we take pride in our hands-on approach, clear communication, and dedication to our clients.

Whether you’re looking for a well-bred puppy, a started dog, advanced training, or guidance along your journey, we’re here to help you and your dog succeed—every step of the way.

TEstimonials

I took my 4 month old black lab to Jeff for puppy gun dog training. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions I had. This is my first hunting dog and he took the time to listen to any questions or concerns I had. I can tell he loves working with the dogs. At the end of 2 weeks he instilled the basics and had my dog highly motivated to perform in the field. Thanks so much Jeff!

I had my German Shorthair Pointer trained by Lumpy. Jeff took time to understand me, my family and my hunting and I couldn’t be more impressed or grateful with how Belle works in the field and behaves at home. Whether it’s retrieving ducks in September on the Wolf River, grouse up north in October, or upland game at the club in November, Lumpy helped me by reinforcing Belles instincts and created a huntress who is a true joy to hunt over or enjoy in my home. I neither knew what to do to train this dog or what to expect once I tried. Jeff trained me and the pup. I just received a German Shorthair Pointer puppy from Lumpy’s and can’t wait to work with his training program again. First, I’ll send her to puppy school, then I’ll send her back so Jeff can finish her. Best hunting and family related money I ever spent

I also want to say thank you for taking the time to “train me” as I was probably the most inexperienced first-time dog owner you have ever dealt with. I had my doubts about spending the money to have a dog professionally trained, but I can honestly say it was worth every penny. I will be in touch to bring her back for a pre-hunting season refresher session…thanks again Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for the training you did with our black lab (Bella). We have had her back for a little over a month now and what you did in the 7 weeks you had her is nothing short of amazing! She came back an awesome family pet who listens, won’t jump on the neighbors, and can be walked around the neighborhood off-leash. You also brought out her hunting instinct and her swimming skills – I can hardly wait until Fall to get her on some Pheasants.

I have owned German shorthaired pointers my entire life and have had some fabulous dogs along the way. Each one has their own unique personality, behavior patterns and skill sets. This is important to note, because I have a comprehensive background in owning GSP’s and in addition have hunted over a lot of other dogs, this experience affords me a unique perspective and a barometer to evaluate them. As you may know puppies can be a challenge on a number of fronts. Mika was without question the easiest dog I have ever had to house break and he was a non-destructive puppy with regard to furniture, remotes, shoes, and clothing items. I raised him with two other GSP’s and he socialized very well with them. I run him in the park every day where he has encountered dozens of dogs, off leash, over the last two years and he has never had a physical confrontation with any them. I frequently take him to my office where he socializes with people. He is gentle, well mannered, obedient, and very tolerant of children.
