Happy Thanksgiving from our pack to yours!

Remember, no matter how cute those dogs can be, pancreatitis can be the outcome of too much rich fatty food fed to dogs. Keep those scraps on the table and away from the pooches. May your holiday be safe and full of wonderful family time with great food.

Who’s been out hunting their GSP’s this fall?
The Chrishelle clan has been out in the fields, woods and lakes bringing home the birds for their families. We’d love to see your photos of your dogs hard at work doing what there were bred to do!

Westminster Invitees have been released!
Belle joins the list of the elite few again this year!
The top 5 in each breed receive a special invite to the most prestigious dog show on earth, the Westminster Kennel Club! Belle is continuing to rank #4 in the breed ( #2 female) and has been 100% amateur breeder-owner handled!
The show returns to New York City in February this year. We are honored to receive this special invite for a second year in a row! Belle was awarded an Award of Merit last year! We’re not sure we’ll be able to make it this year, but are honored nonetheless!

New Stats are out!
Belle remains the #4 GSP in the Breed and All-Breed Standings! All breeder-owner handled!
She finished the 2024 NOHS year as the #1 owner handled GSP! She continues to hold the #1 spot as we head into the 2025 year!
Thank you to all the judges who have awarded Belle and to my friends who have been there for support on this amazing journey with Belle.
Words cannot express how much I love this dog and how proud I am of her accomplishments. It is not often you see a dog be so successful in the ring and in their breed’s intended field of performance, especially with an amateur hobbyist handler like myself. She is a girl who can do it all and has the heart to succeed in anything we ask of her. I love my girl Belle!
Check out Belle’s latest ad in the Showsight magazine!

When looking for you next canine companion, be sure you are buying from an ethical breeder!
This chart lays out some great information for things to look for to help you ensure the breeder is ethical. Some information here is specific for GSP’s, but much of it carries over to all breeds.
Ask questions! Look at the parent’s health testing results on OFA. Expect the breeder to ask you questions to ensure you are a good fit for their program and help match you with the most suitable puppy in the litter. Don’t be afraid to ask questions yourself! A good breeder will be willing to stay in communication with you for the life of the dog!
If you need help finding an ethical breeder in your area, we are willing to help you! If you’d like to get on our wait list for a puppy from a future litter, please contact us! We average about 1 litter per year. Our next litter is planned for Spring of 2025.

At just 2 years old, a grand champion gold, NOHS Platinum, Master Hunter, Rally Master, titled in obedience, dock diving and more! All breeder-owner-handled trained, trialed, and handled.
Thank you to all the judges who have awarded Belle and helped dreams come true!

This line bred litter shows excellent potential in both the ring and the field with multiple grand champions, specialty winners, and master hunters in the last few generations.

Charlie now has passes toward his senior hunt title with plans to move on to master next year. He has multiple best of opposite in specialty show wins and is a full brother to our current star Belle who is a master hunter and top ranked in conformation the last 2 years.
Ice has been in training for master hunt testing and will continue training after puppies. She is a multi-best in specialty winner and has won a reserve best in show owner handled. She is sired by our boy JJ who is a master hunter, multi-specialty winner, group winner, multi-best in show OH winner, grand champion Gold and now multi-best veteran in show.
