About Us
We are a small "kennel" only breeding 1 to 2 litters per year. All of our dogs live with us in our home as a part of our family/pack. We prefer this method to insure our dogs have quality time for play and attention. Our breeding focus is on the complete package--temperament, conformation (structure), health (all dogs we breed, and breed to, must have the health clearances required by our parent club, GSPCA) as well as hunting ability, obedience, agility, showing, hiking, swimming-- almost any venue a dog can do!
Dave graduated from Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture (located in Doylestown, PA.), achieving his bachelor of science degree in Animal Husbandry.
While in high school, Sandy enrolled in the career-study program which offered the opportunity to work beside Veterinarians for 2 years. It was there she realized her heart/interest was directed toward breeding quality animals!

About Our Breeding Standards
Every litter is carefully planned. We take into consideration both sire and dam as well as their parents. Breeding is a huge passion, always striving to improve. When a litter is born we are grounded to home, even sleeping in the puppy room for the first couple weeks. As the puppies grow, we spend a great deal of time playing with and introducing them to the "BIG WORLD." This is done with a variety of noises like the vacuum, television, aluminum foil, tin cans (some with pennies in them), hair dryer, radio, other adult dogs, large variety of toys, swimming pool (depending on time of year), tunnels and a starter pistol. We introduce them to different surfaces as well such as carpet, wood, grass, stone, macadam and even metal from bilco doors. Our belief is that these beginnings will help them not only be used to household noises, but also become a well rounded adult.

"I always compliment Sandy on the excellence of her breeding program when I make a house call to examine her next litter. Sandy asked me if I would write a testimonial for her website. October 27 was no different than all my other visits. Her facility is so clean you would not even know there was a single dog in the house. Her German Shorthaired Pointer pups are always healthy and clean and are fine examples of the breed standard. Sandy is very particular about the product she is producing and we are always impressed by not only the quality of the pups but also by the socialization of her dogs. I could not recommend one of Sandy’s dogs highly enough for someone looking for a quality German Shorthaired Pointer."
