Meet the breeder

I'm Brent T., the breeder behind Temple Gun Dogs located in Montague, MI. Our goal is to bring some of the best European and American pedigrees together to create not only beautiful biddable dogs for the home, but also elegant, driven dogs for the field. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share this beautiful breed with other families that will love them the way that we do!

Q. & A. with Brent

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When you find the right Breed and the right dogs, it’s hard not to want to replicate and improve what you have. This allure of always striving for better is something that was instilled in me at a young age and still does today, both in my personal and professional life. There is little that can match the sight of a litter of well bred German Shorthair Pointers.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include liver and white, black and white, liver roan, and black roan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Temple 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 German Shorthaired Pointers.

  • 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.

  • Brucellosis, Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

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.
