Kellogg kennels?
They had line of pointing labs.
My avatar LeRoy could hang with the best of any English Pointers. Quartered and checked back in style. Crazier than a run over dog to boot. Only problem you never knew when was gonna point or when he was gonna flush. That tail starting swinging quick you better get ready.

To answer the OP I was about to spend 2K but ended up with a free yellow off a good bloodline.

No that dont sound right, these dogs advertised pointing and retrieving due to the system in which they could be trained with a combination of commands,whistle bursts, and hand signals...supposedly you could work her like flippin a switch from pointing quail to retrieving fallen dove. We sent her to washington state on a jet to train..when we got her back..we didnt know how to work her...so we had to have the instructions sent to us...needless to say...we didnt know what we were doin..i know some things about tree dogs but im clueless about wingshooting and the K-9 hunting companions..my daddy was a quail hunter and raised many fine lemon and liver pointers...i have no clue how to properly quail hunt...tho i did guide many...there were so many quail we just rode around until we seen a covey on the road..stopped and busted them..then flushed them barrel up...quiet sucessful too actually...not me...i cant hit squat with a shotgun..but we kilt enough to cook on every hunt. We still use teal(the lab), but for dove and duck retrievel...she kinda sucks at pointing..again probly our fault...for quail now..they hire dog handlers...we had a guy comin with a pair of female gsp and those dogs were amazing.
