Windward German Shorthaired Pointers
Meet the breeder
I'm Danelle G., the breeder behind Windward German Shorthaired Pointers located in Groveland, MA. Hi there, my name is Danelle, and I bought my first German Shorthaired Pointer in 1987. He went on to become my first champion, and was the beginning of a lifelong love for this unique and fascinating breed. We don’t breed often – so each litter is special, hand raised in our home, with love and attention and plenty of socialization. We focus on conformation, temperament, and health. We have many repeat buyers, and are there for the life of your puppy.
Q. & A. with Danelle
Why did you start breeding?
Our foundation bitch, CH Legacyk Purple Tansy, was obtained in 2011 and was nice enough that we decided to carry on with her lines.What makes your program special?
We do all parent-club advised health testing. We offer pedigrees that don't necessarily go to the "sire of the day," and believe in genetic diversity for the longtime health of the breed. Because we breed so seldomly, each litter is special -- planned out, carefully engineered, and loved and raised in our home. Our dogs are part of our family. We offer lifetime support for every puppy we sell, and remain available to our puppy buyers throughout the life of our dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and liver, liver roan, and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Danelle
Danelle has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

"We are very particular about who gets one of our puppies. We have a screening process that is quite rigorous, but we intend to ensure a lifelong home for our puppies and the only way to do that is to match them as carefully as we can to prospective owners. Once approved, we take into account a potential owner’s wants and needs, and try to match that to the individual temperament of the puppy."
