Our breeding pair was selected to ensure that every puppy embodies the best traits of the German Shorthaired Pointer from conformation to breed standards, temperament, intelligence and natural hunting abilities.

From their sleek coats to their playful spirits, our dogs are bred to impress and to be your loyal sidekick in all of life’s escapades.

About our Program

We breed our dogs & raise their pups in the comfort of our home with our children participating in daily care. Our pups receive nothing but the best: Next Level Hi-Pro Puppy, Blue Training Treats, and all natural bully slices for those sharp puppy teeth. Our pups are never raised on newspapers as that could lead to respiratory complications. Rather our pups are litter box trained starting at an early age which gives them the freedom to roam, explore, and play in our great room enabling a smooth transition from our home to yours.

Pups have tails docked and dewclaws removed by our family vet.  All puppies have a vet examination at 6 weeks of age and a fecal exam for parasites.  Upon negative test results, pups will receive their first heartworm/flea preventative. If not going home at 7 weeks, puppies will receive appropriate vaccinations so that they are up to date for new owners.

Our puppies are accustomed to the hustle and bustle of a busy household and are well-socialized with children, other dogs, and cats. What could be better than a healthy, happy puppy? A well-mannered one! We begin puppy training early, ensuring that our puppies are already responding to basic commands like "sit" before they go to their new homes. They follow us around, sit patiently for praise, and are introduced to commands such as "shake," "stay," "come," and "kennel," with many mastering these skills before leaving. This breed is incredibly smart and eager to please, so with consistent training and positive reinforcement, you’ll have a well-behaved companion. We also start kennel training with short periods to ease their transition into their new homes.

All of our puppies are the same price regardless of color, size or sex.  Prepaid AKC Limited registration is included along with their microchip, prepaid AKC Reunite membership, vet records, a litter certificate, puppy starter kit & baby blanket with the littermate’s scent.

Pickup and Drop-off Options

THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR GETTING YOUR NEW PUPPY HOME

  • Visit us in person to pick up in Conroe, TX.

  • We will meet you at George Bush Intercontinental Airport with your puppy.

  • Work with us to choose a location we can both travel to. We will meet you there with your pup.

  • We will transport your puppy to you via car.

  • Have your puppy flown to your nearest airport in the cabin with a chaperone.

The idea of traveling with a small puppy can indeed be daunting, but with proper preparation, it can go smoothly. Each puppy will have had a thorough vet visit at 6 weeks of age. In the days leading up to their departure, we will continue to monitor their health closely & work to prepare them for your mode of transportaion to ensure their trip goes as smoothly as possible. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best pick-up or drop-off option for your new best friend:

 1. Puppy’s Comfort: Before heading to their new homes, our puppies will have had a few outings to start getting used to traveling. If you have a longer drive ahead, we can help ensure your puppy’s comfort by acclimating them to shorter trips leading up to their go-home date.

 2. Safety First: To ensure your puppy’s safety during a car ride journey, use a crate or a puppy seatbelt. Make sure the crate is well-ventilated and lined with a cozy blanket. Alternatively, you can bring a soft blanket and hold your puppy on the way home. We will also provide a puppy blanket with their littermate’s scent, which can help comfort them. Plan for frequent breaks to allow your puppy to stretch, relieve itself, and get some fresh air. Keep water handy and offer it regularly to keep your puppy hydrated.

 3. Choose a Pet-Friendly Airline: We do not transport puppies in the cargo area. All puppies will be flown in the cabin with a chaperone.* Please check the airline’s policies on traveling with puppies to ensure a smooth experience. We will acclimate your puppy to the travel crate before the trip and ensure that the crate is airline-approved and comfortable for the journey. Whenever possible, opt for direct flights to minimize the stress of layovers and transfers for your puppy.

 4. Pet Transport Services: At this time, we do not offer direct pet transport services. However, we are happy to work with you to arrange a suitable location for both parties to meet. We can either:

  • Meet You: We can travel to a location that is convenient for you, where we’ll meet you and hand over your puppy.*

  • Direct Delivery: We can potentially bring the puppy directly to your location.*

 5. Safe Space: Create a quiet, secure area at home where your puppy can acclimate comfortably after the journey. This will help them settle in and feel at ease in their new environment.  Schedule a vet appointment within three days of your puppy’s arrival to check their health and start their vaccination schedule.

*Please note that travel expenses will be determined based on the distance and will be the responsibility of the buyer. We’ll discuss and confirm these costs with you beforehand. Feel free to reach out with your preferred options, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs and prepare for a smooth transition for your new puppy.

 

By following these steps, you’ll help ensure that your new puppy’s transition is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

What to Expect of Your New Puppy

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

You see me post pictures and videos & the pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. You see videos of them being relaxed, happy, and playful. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. Or the overly excited playful children you have at home. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home.

First of all the puppy has been in my home since birth. They had their mother and littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language…different sounds, smells, temperature, animals and people.

Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, possibly deciding to have a party with people you don't know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play, and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

Lots of patience, understanding & most of all LOVE y’all!

Most puppies take 2-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me TWO to FOUR WEEKS sometimes even Longer! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!

PLEASE limit guests during the first two weeks. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over.

Ask guests to remove their shoes before entering the home to prevent germs from spreading to your new vulnerable puppy until they are fully vaccinated…just like your newborn baby.

Have guests sit on the floor/ground and wait until the puppy approaches them. NO squealing and grabbing the puppy, as this is very frightening to them.

Set up a good routine & stick to it! Follow the breeder’s established schedule if at all possible.

Restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them

Don’t expect an 8-12 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead, work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you.

If your puppy is refusing to walk on a leash give them a good amount of time.

Understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic. They will need to establish who the leader of the pack is in order to feel safe and understand the hierarchy of the family unit.

Train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy will look to you for direction and input.

Children are also big stressors to tiny fragile puppies, please keep an eye on children around the puppy at all times. The children may need to learn how fragile the puppy is and how scared it may be.

Lastly, most importantly- BE PATIENT. Don’t declare “OMG there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight.

Outings should be planned after the puppy has received ALL vaccinations and then only at the puppy’s speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day. They may be curious and energetic, they may become overwhelmed. Watch the puppy for cues on how to proceed.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience, and training. Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive feedback and happy experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see things from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.

Love your puppy and they will love you 100 times more in return!
