Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Point to Point West located in Rockville, IN. My wife April & I take great pride in our breeding. We breed for health temperaments & longevity. We welcome responsible buyers to come meet us, see how we raise them & meet our crew. We stay in contact with all buyers as they become part of the PTPW family.

Q. & A. with John

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I ran a Duck Hunting Outfitting business for years and I strive to produce the best hunting dogs I possibly can.
  • What makes your program special?

    When you buy a pup from us you become part of a family. If you need training advice, we are a phone call away. If you hunt you will be invited on hunting trips we take with the dogs. We are with our dogs 24-7 and they are part of our family! Our dogs are from pedigrees with the highest Pointing Lab and hunting awards. The Shepherds are imports and have both show and working lines. My Labradors worked for me in my guiding business and retrieved thousands of birds in their careers. They are the baseline for our breeding. These pups not only have excellent trainability, but they also know how to turn off the switch and be great companions in your home. If you don’t hunt they will be just as happy spending time with you throwing a ball, frisbee, or whatever. We give a 2 year health guarantee for health defects. if you have any questions feel free to ask. We will always ask for updates and pictures of your pup. We want you to feel comfortable buying a dog from us.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    German Shepherd puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. German Shepherd puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
