German Shorthairs

Hoss was born 4/13/08 and should mature to a very tall shorthair with the bloodhound-type ears. He has strong German bloodlines, shows a willingness to please, and is progressing well with his NAVHDA training. We have a five-generation pedigree (showing the closest 62 dogs in his breeding) available for review, and some of Hoss' bloodlines include DC Hillhaven Hustler, VC Merrymeeting Hubertus MH, KS Elk vom Hege-Haus, Lord KS von der stolzen Au, and Axel vom Wasserschling. A genetic search was compiled on the breeding of Hoss' parents, and 499 unique ancestors were found. The full report is available for review and provided to puppy owners. Once seeing this paperwork, everyone agrees that it is a unique pedigree. Because of his unique pedigree, the stud service for Hoss is $950.

Caiya was born 2/26/08 and is already showing a very intense desire to hunt and work in the field. Caiya scored 104 points and received a Prize II at her NAVHDA Natural Ability test in May. She will now begin working toward the next level of testing in NAVHDA. We plan a spring 2010 breeding for Caiya.

Caiya has a very strong pedigree, and both of her parents have NAVHDA Versatile Champion titles, among others including AKC Master Hunter. Caiya loves the water, is very intelligent, and possesses great desire in the field and in the water. She never wants to quit! Caiya covers the ground with an unbelievable desire to find every bird in the field.

Cheyenne was born 2/26/08 and was a littermate of Caiya. Cheyenne has a slightly larger and more muscular build than Caiya. Cheyenne scored 100 points and received Prize II for her NAVHDA Natural Ability test and will begin further testing this summer.

Cheyenne is a full sister to Caiya and came to us unexpectedly, because of an unfortunate health problem with her original owner. We feel very lucky to have Cheyenne as part of our kennel and family. Although she is a very friendly dog, her true desire is to hunt. She has no quit, no matter what. Her point is hard, and her scent cone is exceptional, just like her sister Caiya. She should have both solid liver puppies and puppies with more patching and ticking.

Hoss is a very affectionate dog and loves to be played with, loves children and everyone he meets. He is just as happy playing with his family as he is hunting in the field. He is a very houndish-looking dog, which shows how strong the German bloodline is. He has long ears, long nose, deep chest and long body. Hoss has been hunted over pheasants, ducks, hungarian partridge, chukars, and bobwhite quail. He has done excellent on all of them. Hoss is currently training for the second stage of NAVHDA certification. Once again, interested puppy owners are always welcome to visit the farm and watch Hoss work. Hoss will be bred to Caiya for expected puppies in the spring of 2010. More information can be found on our puppies page.

We think the breeding of Caiya to Hoss is going to be a very unique cross of bloodlines and talent. The puppies should be very hard-hunting dogs as well as great family pets. Interested puppy buyers are welcome to visit the farm and watch her work. We hope to also have video available soon.

We acquired Diesel in May 2010. At nearly one year old he had no formal training, but we are excited about his natural desire to hunt and point. With his field trial bloodlines he has incredible drive to hunt in the field, and his love of water work is like nothing we've ever seen in a shorthair!

We are excited to see what Diesel will do in the future and plan to test him for NA this fall at the NAVHDA trials. It is planned that Diesel will be available for stud service in 2011.

Misty is a young dog that we are very pleased to add to our kennel. Her bloodlines include VC Sundance Revelation MH and VC Jacob vd Westwind MH.

Misty is showing a great deal of promise with both fieldwork and obedience. Her instinct to point has been present since a very young age, and her desire to please is outstanding. We plan to test Misty for her NA title at the NAVHDA trials in spring 2011.
