The goal at Sharp Shooter’s Kennel is to produce German shorthaired pointer puppies that will mature into truly versatile hunting companions with impeccable pedigrees. Dogs aren’t added to the breeding program until they have proven themselves as hunting dogs, have met stringent conformation and health criteria and have successfully tested in sanctioned hunting trials.
Creating puppies that are hunting partners and family companions is their number one priority. Clyde and Marilyn believe testing programs from organizations like the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association and the American Kennel Club are excellent tools to help breeders evaluate each dog’s inherent potential. Since pups end up all across the country, Clyde & Marilyn require all pups be run in and pass a NAVHDA Natural Ability test so they can get an understanding of what each breeding produces. (See NAVHDA's test rules book for more information) To date, Sharp Shooter’s Kennel has been awarded seven of NAVHDA’s Utility Breeders Awards and 19 NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Awards. Just as important as hunting talent, is breeding dogs with good structure. While no dog is perfect, Clyde and Marilyn strive to combine parents who will create pups that accurately reflect the breed standard. Whether you are testing or hunting with your pup, you will have great days in the field and in the marsh. Since puppies are not always available, it’s recommended you contact the kennel early, as there is usually a lengthy waiting list. | ||
