Meet the Tipsy Rabbit Brood Females
The Heart Behind Every TopPup
Our girls are more than exceptional brood females—they are the heart of our heritage-focused breeding program. Carefully selected for their health, temperament, structure, natural instincts, and proven pedigrees, each female represents generations of thoughtfully preserved German Shorthaired Pointer heritage while helping shape the future of Tipsy Rabbit. Our brood females are first and foremost cherished family members. They spend their days exploring the outdoors, sharing adventures with their families, and curling up on the couch at day's end. Their affectionate nature, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty are just as important to us as their natural hunting ability, because we believe the very best German Shorthaired Pointers excel both in the field and in the home. Every female in our program completes comprehensive health testing, with Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) results publicly available. We believe transparency and purposeful breeding decisions are essential to preserving the health, integrity, and future of this remarkable breed. We are equally committed to the lifelong well-being of our girls. Each breeding is carefully planned, and we intentionally limit the number of litters each female produces throughout her lifetime. Our brood females are typically bred no more than once per year, allowing ample time for recovery, conditioning, and the active lives they love between litters. They retire while still young and thriving, where they continue doing what they've always done best—living as cherished family members and beloved companions.
Charlie – Grit, Grace & Heart
Sire: Dakota Jagr SS04671804
Dam: Honker's Miss Izzy SR84888109
Charlie's heritage traces back to the rolling prairies of the Dakotas and the central plains, where generations of dedicated breeders worked to preserve the German Shorthaired Pointer as the ultimate versatile hunting companion. Bred by Missouri River Kennels in the heart of pheasant country, her pedigree reflects decades of thoughtful selection for natural hunting ability, intelligence, cooperation, sound structure, and the temperament to thrive both in the field and at home.
Her lineage is woven together by many of the kennel programs and influential dogs that helped shape today's modern hunting GSP. Legendary names such as Hillhaven's Hustler, along with the renowned Dixieland, Rawhide, Sharp Shooters, Shooting Star, and Willow Creek breeding programs, appear throughout her pedigree. It is also exceptionally rich in Dual Champions (DC), Field Champions (FC), and Amateur Field Champions (AFC)—a reflection of generations of dogs proven in the field and preserved through purposeful breeding.
Charlie is more than the product of an impressive pedigree—she represents the continuation of a legacy built by breeders committed to producing cooperative, versatile bird dogs capable of excelling from the uplands to the family room.
In the field, Charlie is fearless and driven, with a sharp nose and the kind of bird sense you can't teach. She combines a cooperative hunting style with the grit to get the job done, naturally locating, tracking, retrieving, and flushing game while showing no hesitation when asked to push through dense cover and thick brush in pursuit of birds. Her calm confidence and methodical approach are hallmarks of generations of purpose-bred hunting dogs.
At home, she's the heart of the pack. A natural peacekeeper with remarkable maternal instincts, Charlie has an uncanny ability to read both dogs and people. She keeps everyone in line while still bringing her own big personality and competitive spark—especially when there's retrieving, swimming, or dock diving involved with Goose.
Charlie consistently passes on her biddability, intuition, cooperative nature, and balanced temperament to her puppies. Her proven hunting heritage and exceptional maternal instincts make her the perfect complement to Maverick's accomplished field trial lineage, blending two respected traditions of the German Shorthaired Pointer while preserving the versatility, soundness, and temperament that define the breed.
Charlie has successfully completed a comprehensive DNA and health evaluation, testing clear of inherited conditions including Cone Degeneration and von Willebrand's Disease. She has earned passing OFA certifications for hips and elbows, along with OFA cardiac and CAER eye clearances, reflecting the sound structure, health, and quality we prioritize in every generation.
These health evaluations play a vital role in every breeding decision we make. By carefully considering each dog's genetic profile, structural soundness, and overall health, we create intentional pairings designed to reduce the risk of inherited conditions while preserving the instinct, temperament, and versatility that generations of dedicated breeders worked so hard to establish.
