Meet the breeder
I'm Terina C., the breeder behind SouthMtn located in Pennsylvania. When our Jeb grew up, we went to our first Dog Show and he placed Reserve; after that we were hooked. This started the search for our next show dog. This would be the beginning of our love for German Shorthaired Pointers and dog shows. We only breed our dogs once. They pass all recommended health clearances that are suggested by our parent club.
