From the sofa to the field, our dogs are members of the family and can do it all.

Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
The Deutsch Kurzhaar has become part of my soul. My heart is committed to continuing, promoting, and improving this amazing breed. I have been involved in handling, training, judging this versatile breed in a variety of capacities including conformation, tracking, obedience, rally, agility, and hunt tests. My goal is to breed to the standard set forth by the Deutsch Kurzhaar Verband and to produce amazing hunting dogs that are also a pleasure to have in your home!What makes your program special?
My breeding program is founded on the rigorous evaluation of my dogs through hunting and testing in multiple venues. My puppies are raised in the home and given early socialization and training to be successful in the field, ring, agility course, or wherever your adventurous DK takes you!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.

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.
