Meet the breeder

I'm Ryan W., the breeder behind Wood Farmstead located in Hawley, TX.

Our GSP puppies are raised in our home to become confident hunting dogs and loyal family companions.

Q. & A. with Ryan

Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding through our love of working dogs, hunting, and small-farm living. After years of raising and training dogs around our family and farm, we wanted to produce GSPs with strong field instincts, sound temperaments, and the ability to be trusted family companions.
What makes your program special?
Our program is small and hands-on. Puppies are raised in our home, handled daily, socialized early, and introduced to family life and farm sights and sounds. We focus on confident, athletic GSPs with natural hunting drive and loving, people-focused temperaments.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are 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 Ryan

Ryan has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Ryan partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“GSPs are High energy dogs and we screen buyers to ensure our babies are sent off to the right home. We have a 100% success matching rate. Our approval process starts with a short application so we can learn about your home, lifestyle, hunting goals, and experience with active breeds. We do not place puppies on a first-click basis. We review each family to make sure the puppy is a good fit, then contact approved applicants to discuss availability, timing, and next steps.
