We specialize in breeding German Short Haired Pointers but will train other pointing breeds.
We are currently accepting deposits for our wait list on our next planned breeding's which will be Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
We do offer a very limited amount of dogs for boarding, please message us if you are interested. If your dog is being trained by us we will board your dog at our kennel during their course of training.
With the exception of solid Liver or Solid Black dogs, GSP puppies are born white with whatever patches they will have and their roaning or ticking comes in bolder as they age. Puppies will darken up to 6 months of age. Example: A GSP puppy may be born with a white stripe on their face and it may disappear once they turn 6 months old.
"Purpose: The purpose of the Pointing Breed Hunting Test program is to afford an opportunity for a person to demonstrate a dog’s ability to perform the task for which they were originally bred. Testing gauges the dog’s natural hunting ability and training against these standards of performance—Junior Hunter, Senior Hunter and Master Hunter. The AKC Pointing Breed Hunting Test program started in April 1986." -AKC
"A Junior hunting dog must show a keen desire to hunt, be bold and independent, have a fast, yet attractive, manner of hunting, and demonstrate not only intelligence in seeking objectives, but also the ability to find game. A Junior hunting dog must establish point on at least 50% of the pointable birds it encounters." -AKC
"A Senior hunting dog must show all of the attributes of a Junior hunting dog. In addition, the Senior hunting dog must be steady to wing on all pointed birds and must remain in position until the shot or they are released. A Senior hunting dog must retrieve. All birds that are pointed by the Senior dog in a bird field must be shot where safety allows. A legitimate attempt to retrieve all downed birds must be made. Whenever it encounters its bracemate on point, it must honor. A dog that steals its bracemate’s point cannot receive a Qualifying score. " -AKC
"A Master hunting dog must give a finished performance and demonstrate clearly that it deserves to be qualified as such. This is the complete hunting companion that any hunter would be proud to own. It must be under its handler’s control at all times, and handle kindly, with an absolute minimum of noise and hacking by the handler. A Master hunting dog must show a keen desire to hunt, must have a bold and attractive manner of running, and must demonstrate not only intelligence in seeking objectives, but also the ability to find game. The dog must hunt for its handler at all times at a range suitable for a handler on foot, and should show or check in front of its handler frequently. It must cover adequate ground but never range out-of-sight for a length of time that would detract from its usefulness as a practical hunting companion. The dog must locate game, must point staunchly, and must be steady to wing and shot on all birds and if it breaks, it cannot receive a 23 Qualifying score. Intelligent use of the wind and terrain in locating game, accurate nose, and intensity on point are essential. Whenever it encounters its bracemate on point, it must honor. A dog that steals its bracemate’s point cannot receive a Qualifying score. A Master hunting dog must positively demonstrate its steadiness to wing and shot. All birds that are pointed by the Master dog in a bird field must be shot where safety allows. A legitimate attempt to retrieve all downed birds must be made. All killed birds must be retrieved promptly, tenderly and absolutely to hand. The handler shall not command or signal the dog to retrieve until positive steadiness has been demonstrated."-AKC
