Q. & A. with Stephen
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding 20 years ago . I started off slow and have since did lots of research on the bloodlines and and how they preform and what there disposition and health throughout the parents have beenWhat makes your program special?
My dogs are proven on exclusively wild birds. Not pen raised birds, not judged by some bias judge. They’re extremely nice to be around and flat out preform field trial dogs hands down.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver, liver and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Val, mom
German Wirehaired Pointer
About Val
Val is a pleasure to hunt behind with big motor. Lots of go but she calms down in the house or back yard. I don’t own this dog but what little I’ve been around I’ve been really impressed. I’m very excited for this litter.
