I'm Casey D., the breeder behind Lakeside Hills German Shorthaired Pointers located in Crawfordsville, IN. I'm a small breeder located in the hills of Lake Holiday in Crawfordsville, IN. I’m a 4th generation breeder and 2nd generation Pointer breeder. I found a breed that I love! The versatility of a German Shorthaired Pointer is uncanny and couldn’t ask for a better breed.
Q. & A. with Casey
Why did you start breeding?
My love for dogs and taking the reins in being a positive asset to the HEALTHY purebred dog community.
What makes your program special?
I make health my priority. My full-ownership dogs are or will be 100% health tested per the recommendations of OFA. My dogs (and puppies) are my world! I spend most, if not all, of my free time with them.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, black roan, liver roan, and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
von Willebrand Disease II (vWD II), DNA Disease Panel, Cone Degeneration, German Shorthaired Pointer Type
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
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.
