Meet the breeder
I'm Michelle W., the breeder behind Chrishelle Farm located in North Branch, MN. We breed to improve on our dogs and to meet the breed standard. We breed versatile GSP's for structure, temperament, health, natural bird skills, train-ability, performance, and family companions. Our goal is to produce dogs with athletic ability to be able to compete in a wide variety of sports.
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
My husband owned our first Shorthair. I showed her, trained her and he hunted her. When I was finally ready to own my own dog, we decided she had proven herself enough in the ring and field and was of a great temperament, health, and pedigree that we wanted a puppy out of her. We worked with our mentors to select a suitable stud dog and we had great success with our first litter.What makes your program special?
We focus on versatility. Our dogs are proven in the conformation ring, hunt field, obedience, rally ring, are fully health tested, and are excellent family companion dogs. We raise our puppies with Puppy Culture techniques and AviDog protocols for well-rounded puppies. We are selective in our puppy homes and try to ensure that each puppy is well suited for its home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 09 Mar •…Plans are in place for a 2026 Summer litter out of our pride and joy, Princess Belle. Belle is now a Platinum Grand Champion, Rally Champion, AND Master Hunter. Mastering every sport, whether it be the show ring or the field. Plans have fallen through for our first choice in stud dog for Belle, so we are making arrangements to finalize plans for using a different stud dog this summer. We are very particular in who we choose to pair with our Belle, studying pedigrees, health, structure, temperament, and natural hunting ability. We are looking for a stud to compliment her but not change too much. Please be patient as we make our final decisions. Belle is expected in season in late April or Early May with puppies expected during the summer and ready to go home in the fall. We will reach out to those on our wait list once she has been bred and begin accepting deposits once pregnancy is confirmed. Stay tuned for more information on our summer litter with Belle.

She has a pedigree full of notable award winning dogs. She has had a successful show career, earning a grand championship with group placings. She earned her junior hunt title and is hunted regularly every fall on upland game birds. She is sweet and biddable and is now showing her potential as a mother. If you are interested in one of these people puppies, sired by a dog from our program, please message me and I will provide you more information and put you in touch with the breeders, the Mannings from Moline, IL.

Litter update on 03 May 2025 •…The puppies have arrived! We welcomed 9 little loves into the world yesterday, 4 boys and 5 girls. We are excited to watch these babies grow! We will be staying in touch with those on our wait list. Decisions on who goes where will be made when the conformation can be assessed for those going to show homes around 7.5-8 weeks of age. For those that are local, we encourage you to visit the pups sometime in June, or possibly as early as Memorial Day weekend. For those from out of state, we can do planned video calls so you can see the puppies in action and we can talk about which puppies may be best suited for your home and intended purpose.
