Dogs of the Oaks
We are proud to welcome four young bird dogs to the plantation this season. Raised here on our grounds and placed in the hands of experienced and professional trainers. As they mature, they will become part of our guided quail hunts — helping us continue to provide a steady, classic bird-hunting experience for our guests.
