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.

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

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

My husband, John and I purchased our
adorable Pointer, Mickey from Jim on June 25th. We had
visited Little Wing Gun Dogs in 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 litter! Now that Mickey will be 13 weeks
old we are so glad that we did. His temperament and health
are great. I would definitely purchase another pup from
Jim.

Jim,
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

Jim 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, Wayne Morris

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.
Thanks Dave Sparta,

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.
Thanks, John

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
facility, one to set standards. If you are looking for a
Quality Gun Dog or Companion look no further, Little Wing
Kennels sets the bar and is the place for your new addition.

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, Kathy & Chris Holzer Brick, NJ

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

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, 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. Nancy and Gabe Wytovich

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.

She is great with us and other dogs/people, is starting to

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!

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
