Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
After recognizing how beneficial our dogs are not only to our home life, but also our hunting endeavors, we knew we wanted to continue their line and provide that to others. It's very important to us that every puppy produced will be healthy and thrive in their new environment. We take pride in our program and begin training them from a young age so their natural hunting instincts begin strengthening.
What makes your program special?
We import our Shorthaired Pointers from Germany to keep our bloodlines strong and hold true to the original structure of the breed. Our program strives to produce the best and we diligently work with our buyers to make sure both pup and human are matched appropriately. Not sure how to begin training your dog? We'd love to help guide you so you can experience the full potential of a GSP!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
