I'm Amielia K., the breeder behind Northern Odyssey Gun Dogs located in Laporte, MN. We strive for sound bodied and mind dogs with a great disposition that are able to transition well from the field to home life.
Q. & A. with Amielia
Why did you start breeding?
When I was young, my parents had a couple of litters out of our Rottweilers. Once I was grown and married, my husband explained he had always wanted a German Shorthair. We had bought our first 2 Shorthairs from my now good friend. I had done a breeding with one of them. We decided our dog we bred wasn't quite the hunter we were looking for, so we kept a puppy and she became the start of our program.
What makes your program special?
We care about our dogs, and who has them. Our pups are very well socialized and our children help us with all our dogs and chores, right down to the whelping process. They are also exposed to birds/wings at a young age. I look for calmer disposition when breeding and particular bloodlines, which i believe have given me some of the best hunting and family companions that a person can ask for.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our German Shorthaired Pointer puppies include white and liver, liver roan, liver and white, liver, black and white, black roan, and black. Yorkshire Terrier puppies are blue and gold. Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies include dark brown, deadgrass, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Northern Odyssey Gun Dogs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.
Hip Dysplasia
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.
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.
