Indy is a Great mother, good looking, calm dog that has alot of desire to find game, land or water.  She is OFA Hip Certified "Good."  Pups were whelped July 23, and will be ready to go Sept 16 

 


2007 Planned Breeding


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRACE X LUCKY

This decision on a stud dog was a tough one, we considered alot of very nice very Titled stud dog's. We did not put this breeding together for titles or convenience but for other reasons. We decided on this mating for several other more significant reasons; like genetics, motherline principle's, choosing a stud dog with complimentary motherlines betters the chance of consistent classy breeding stock. This mating will be based on Pure Old German Shorthair bloodlines. Heavy influence from Wendy Vom Enzstrand, DC Stradivarius Baroque, DC Hillhaven's Hustler, KS Zobel Vom Hege Haus, CH Torannie's Flo of Hustleberg, DC Timberdoodle's Lancer Answer, DC Shillrest's Impressive, among many other great wild Bird dog's. Lucky and Trace are OFA Hip Certified "Good". Whelp date will be June 25-27 2007 Please feel free to Contact us on this litter, we are very excited to bring in our next generation of Versatile German Shorthaired Pointer's.

  


2009 Planned Breeding

VANNA X CHESTER

 We are very excited about this breeding. Chester is a  full litter mate brother to Trace, he has a  very nice head and great conformation.  Chester is a wild bird dog and a very good house dog as well. Chester's Sire is Jaegerhof's Sir Henry Higgin's MH and his Dam is Dakota Horizon Express JH. Higgins is the AKC Hunt Test Sire of the Year '08. Vanna is the product of 30 years of selective German breeding, we purchased her a little over two years ago and have shot alot of wild birds over her.  She has a very good nose, a ton of point and great conformation. Vanna and Chester are OFA Hip certified "Good". We are anticipating this litter to be as equal or better than Lucky X Trace, which we have had so much success with in the NAVHDA Testing system and wild bird fields. These pups should  be able and ready for this fall '09. Anticipated Whelp date is April 25.

This will be a repeat breeding from our '07 breeding.  Trace is out of Jaegerhof's Sir Henry Higgins MH X Dakota Horizon Express JH.

Beautiful, natural wild bird dog's that can turn it on in the field and tone it down in the house. Every thing we could have hoped for in this breeding.
