I'm David D., the breeder behind Triple Cord Kennels located in Wise County, TX. I offer top-quality German Shorthaired Pointer puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions.
Q. & A. with David
Why did you start breeding?
I am a preservationist breeder striving to maintain and improve upon the unique qualities that GSPs have to offer. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these dogs with other families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I look forward to connecting with you!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
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.
