Meet the breeder
I'm Rae B., the breeder behind Pretty Prairie Kennel located in Helena, MT. We strive to produce healthy black and liver German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) puppies for the upland foot hunter. As hunters ourselves, we firmly believe the GSP should also be evaluated for their field work. We are also proud AKC "Breeders of Merit" and "Breeders with H.E.A.R.T.".
Q. & A. with Rae
What makes your program special?
We are AKC "Breeders of Merit," as well as "Bred with H.E.A.R.T," members. These programs are exclusive to members who have titled their dogs through AKC sanctioned events and agree to complete the health screens recommended by the "German Shorthaired Club of America's," Canine Health Information Center, (CHIC) program. There are VERY few GSP breeders who complete CHIC health screens.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
