Our Commitment to Excellence

At TTR GSP TopDog, we are proud to be recognized by the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program, reflecting our dedication to Health, Education, Accountability, Responsibility, and Tradition in breeding. We prioritize health, temperament, and early training, ensuring every puppy has the best possible foundation.

From day one, our puppies undergo Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) to enhance resilience, adaptability, and development. We incorporate litterbox training, kennel training, and early obedience work to set them up for success. Socialization is key—our puppies are raised in our home, surrounded by family, children, adult dogs, and even cats, helping them grow into well-adjusted, confident companions.

We carefully breed for the perfect balance of drive and an “off switch”, producing dogs that excel in the field, on the water, and in canine sports—yet settle beautifully at home. Each puppy receives comprehensive veterinary care, including tail docking, dewclaw removal, a full health exam, and parasite screening. They go home with prepaid AKC registration, microchip enrollment, vet records, and a puppy starter kit for a smooth transition.

At The Tipsy Rabbit, our goal is to produce exceptional companions, performance dogs, and working partners who embody the heart and soul of the German Shorthaired Pointer breed.  We are proud to support and celebrate our dogs’ accomplishments beyond the whelping box, and provide an incentive for each AKC-recognized title or NAVHDA testing milestone earned—including achievements such as Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Junior Hunter (JH), Dock Diving (NADD), Trick Dog, Rally, FAST CAT, and NAVHDA’s Natural Ability Test. These accomplishments reflect the intelligence, drive, and versatility we strive to cultivate in every TopDog we breed.

Proud owners of The Tipsy Rabbit GSP TopDog Kennel, we are a small, family-run kennel in Southeast Texas, where our love for family extends to our dogs. Our GSPs are more than just breeding dogs—they are cherished members of our home, and when you bring one of our pups home, you become part of our extended family too.

Our children, whether at home or away, play an active role in socializing, training, and caring for our puppies, ensuring they grow into confident, well-rounded companions. We believe exceptional GSPs aren’t just bred—they’re raised with love, structure, and hands-on experiences that prepare them for success in their forever homes.

At TTR, finding the perfect match for each puppy is our top priority. Through responsible breeding and thoughtful placement, we ensure every pup goes to a home that will love and care for them just as much as we do.

The Roots of The Tipsy Rabbit run deep, built on a foundation of passion for animals and a steadfast commitment to the German Shorthaired Pointer breed. What began in South Dakota with a little girl and her mother’s shared love for rabbits soon grew into a thriving hobby farm, complete with goats, chickens, and ducks. A small rabbit-breeding venture was just the beginning—soon, our dedication to exceptional animals led us to something even greater.

Our journey with GSPs began with Tex, our first German Shorthaired Pointer, who quickly stole our hearts. His intelligence, drive, and unwavering loyalty made us fall in love with the breed. To carry on his legacy, we welcomed his half-brother, Maverick, sired by a 17-time field champion, and carefully selected Charlie, our breeding female, from South Dakota’s premier hunting lines.

After finding the perfect breeding pair and moving back to Texas, The Tipsy Rabbit evolved into TTR GSP TopDog Kennel—a name that reflects our commitment to breeding exceptional GSPs with the intelligence, temperament, and athleticism the breed is known for. While we don’t hunt our breeding pair, their pedigree speaks for itself—our puppies are bred to excel in the field, in the water, and as beloved companions.

More than just a kennel, TTR GSP TopDog is a family, and when you bring home one of our puppies, you become part of it.

Becky was very helpful throughout the whole process. My wife and I had decided it was time for us to get our first fur baby and I went searching for the right one for us and that’s when I stumbled upon Goose. Goose was perfect in every way and had an interesting back story to come with him. He was originally adopted by another family, but due to circumstances outside of Goose’s control he came back to Becky and I was fortunate enough to find him. The whole process from reaching out about him to going through all the steps leading up to pick up was so exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time. We wanted everything perfect for our Goose and to give him the second chance he so deeply deserved. From the moment he came home with us we knew we made the best choice ever. Goose is so smart, loving, cuddly, and energetic! He brings so much joy to our lives and keeps us on our toes. I will definitely be looking forward to future adventures and possibly getting Goose another companion through Becky as she has made this process so smooth and easy. You can tell right off the bat these dogs are loved and cared for from the minute they are born and even in their new homes. She is checking in on us and goose for updates every so often, and it feels good knowing how genuine she is about us. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog!

If you’re thinking about getting a dog, I can’t recommend them enough! From the very first call, she was so warm and made me feel like I’d known her forever. I could ask any questions I had, and she was always so organized and detailed, which made the whole process super smooth. They even flew Lucky to Florida for me! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out—now I have my best friend by my side, and I can’t imagine life without him. If you’re looking for a dog, definitely reach out—you won’t regret it!🍀❤️

Different in a very positive and dog expanded Family Member, more affectionate and wanting physical contact, as GSP's crave attention and return the same. Lucy, (aka Daiquiri - puppy) born in September 6th, and took possession Nov 2, 2024, she's everything Lexi was and more as we never got to experience Lexi as a puppy. (SPCA rare find about 6 months old) she was an unbelievable find. LUCY won't replace LEXI, but more so reminds us how special 💖 LEXI was to us and our family. God's mistake is just not giving these special dogs longer life spans.

Bringing River into our home has been an amazing experience. From day one, she has been smart, loving, eager to learn, and full of personality and energy. We knew going in that German Shorthaired Pointers are an active, intelligent breed, and we made sure River had plenty of space to run, explore, and burn off her energy. She has thrived on our land, and it’s been a joy watching her develop into such a well-balanced and happy pup. While I can’t speak for other families, I truly believe that GSPs need the right environment, structure, and engagement to flourish. They are not just pets; they are companions with boundless energy and sharp minds that need stimulation and adventure. For us, River has fit in perfectly, and we couldn’t be happier. I want to express my deep gratitude to Becky at The Tipsy Rabbit for her dedication, love, and care in raising these incredible dogs. Her support and guidance have been invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-raised GSP. If you’re considering becoming a first or second family, I can confidently say it could be the best decision you ever make—a perfect fit, just like River was for us!

Our experience of getting our sweet Bertie from The Tipsy Rabbit has been exceptional right from the first visit to meet the puppies. We met both his parents and saw all the love care and even training that they pour into the puppies. Bertie had already started house training when he came home which made that process so easy. He has the sweetest temperament, intelligent, handsome and is wonderful with our three children including ones with autism. They have stayed in touch to see how he is getting on and it is so clear how truly invested they are in the dog's and their new families. Having fallen head of heels with GSPs I know we wouldn't get any future dogs from anywhere else.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with TTR! From the very first conversation, Becky demonstrated a deep knowledge and passion for German Shorthaired Pointers. They provided extensive health records, and a wealth of information to ensure we were fully prepared for our new pup. 2 years later Caine is everything we hoped for—intelligent, energetic, and incredibly well-socialized. You can tell these dogs are raised with love and care in a top-quality environment. Becky is always available for questions and continues to check in on us and our pup! If you’re looking for a reputable and responsible GSP breeder, we highly recommend TTR !!!They truly go above and beyond! To us there is only 1 GSP breeder to go through and we found them!
