Ethical Breeding,
Hands-on Training.
I pride myself on my family-run approach, and am dedicated to breeding my dogs ethically. Because of this I limit each dam to two litters maximum per year, as well as alternating between the females.
Additionally I audit the outside studs I choose to use to make sure they are certified and up to Tumbleweed standards.
Full pedigrees are always available. To see a pedigree from Dakota’s recent litter, click here.
These puppies will have a great on/off switch. They come from amazing hunting lines, and are cuddly house pets as well.
Interested? I’m taking deposits for upcoming litters!
German Shorthaired Pointers
Ethical breeding, exceptional dogs. All my dogs are AKC Pedigree registered, and come from generations of excellent hunting dogs. All puppies will be born and raised in my home, as they are like my children. This is great for their early development and socialization skills.

Brief History:
The German Shorthaired Pointer:
German hunters spent generations crossing various breeds until they perfected this versatile bird dog sometime in the 1800s. They were so successful that, to this day, GSPs are among the top-winning breeds in competitive hunting events.
The German bird-dog tradition dates to at least the 1700s, with master breeders experimenting with tracking hound–pointing dog crosses in the quest for a quick but powerful hunter possessing plenty of nose and versatility. It comes as no surprise to learn that a key player in the early development of this breed of noble bearing was himself a nobleman, Prince Albrecht zu Solms-Braunfels.
The prince and his fellow enthusiasts succeeded beyond their wildest imaginings in creating a do-it-all hunting dog. Here, a breed historian ticks off the GSP’s credentials: “a staunchly pointing bird dog; a keen-nosed night trailer; a proven duck dog; a natural retriever on land or water, with pleasing conformation and markings, and great powers of endurance; and an intelligent family watchdog and companion.”
The GSP has been hunted with success on a variety of quarry: gamebirds, possum, rabbit, raccoon, and even deer. With his webbed feet and sleek but sturdy construction, the GSP burnishes his résumé as one of dogdom’s finest swimmers.
