We are a small kennel located in the scenic farmlands of Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. We are approx 45 minutes north of Harrisburg and 5 minutes off of Interstate 81.
We are not a puppy mill that breeds for the sake of doing it or to make a few bucks. Before a breeding takes place, we give careful consideration to the bloodlines, the parents and the overall quality of the pups they will produce.
We breed to Improve, Preserve and Enhance the Characteristics that makes the German Shorthair Pointer so unique. These characteristics are excellent temperment, confirmation, intelligence, trainability and natural hunting ability.
Researching and learning all we can about the breed is an ongoing process for us. We apply all we have learned to each of our breedings. We like to see our pups go to hunting homes but due to the great characteristics of the GSP's, they make wonderful companions to everyone so, we also sell to non-hunting homes. We sell our pups to approved homes only! We try our best to place all our pups in homes where they are loved like family. We do not sell to agents, brokers or pet shops.
Our satisfaction rating, thus far, is 100% and we intend on keeping it that way. We gaurantee our dogs and do whatever we can to satisfy our new puppy owners. We are always here to help in anyway we can. Not just for a few weeks after the pup goes home, for the life of it. You can see references on our website under our "Reference" page.
Please visit our website and learn more about us and our dogs. If you are looking to get a pup from us, contact us on availability of our pups as you might want to reserve a puppy 6 months to a year in advance as we start receiving deposits for most litters, 6 to 12 months in advance. We have a large list of satisfied clients and a list of people wishing to join them. If you look at the love we have for our dogs, the time we put into our dogs, look at the pedigrees(as we have some of the best in the country), come meet us and see our dogs and you will see why we have a big waiting list!!
We do air or ground shipping for your convenience. Contact us for more info.
You can view more info on available litters by clicking on our "Puppies" page(where you can see our weekly progress with our pups) then click on our "Current Litter" page and/or our "Expected Litter" page. We have some questions that we ask everyone before excepting a deposit from you so if you are interested in a puppy, please give us a call at (570)617-5033 and we will help you decide if a GSP is for you! Thanks for your time and we hope to hear from you soon.
**BUYER BEWARE** We have a local breeder who is copying info off us and is selling pups with FALSE info. Please do your research and check all the dogs AKC linage papers before purchasing a puppy. We have had MANY people come to us about this breeder. Because we don't like to point fingers, we can only worn you to do the right thing.........do your research before purchasing your puppy. **BUYER BEWARE**
