Case in Point Kennels and Training

Ultrasound today confirmed Mama Lana is VERY pregnant. Vet saw 10 puppies on the ultrasound 😬🥴😳 SO, even tho I have taken some deposits and have a list, I will have some pups available!

This first litter has already accomplished so much at just over a year old. Four pups got NA Prize I earning the litter a NAVHDA NA Breeder’s Award, with my 2 earning perfect scores at 6 months old. Two pups are in law enforcement, one already certified and on the force with his first drug bust. Another pup guides on a preserve in Florida. Awesome temperaments, conformation, biddability, and natural ability. I have the same hopes for this next litter.

I know several people have been thinking about it, this is your chance to own a superstar Sue x Lana pup ❤️

Everybody sharing a post about rescue pushing people to breeders....I have big feelings and lots to say, and I haven't touched my blog in a few years, so I wrote a thing last night.

I recently shared a picture on Facebook that said “shopping keeps dogs from needing adopting.” It was a cheeky response to the “adopt don’t shop” chant we have all had shoved down our throats for y…

I’m likely planning on doing a repeat breeding between Sue and Lana in 2024 as several have expressed interest.

***I’m starting a list, so anyone interested, please let me know! This will be Lana’s last litter.

The current pups are phenomenal so far: couldn’t ask for more natural ability, lovely temperaments, and drive for days. My two earned perfect NA scores at 6 months and several more pups are testing in spring. My two are starting UT training already. The two in law enforcement are progressing quite well in their training. Most importantly, all the pups are cherished family members and flourishing in their homes!

Info on parents from my past post:

Lana is the complete package GSP. She misleads many with her extremely sweet demeanor and disposition—everyone who meets her falls in love. But don’t let that fool you, she’s fire in the field and is sometimes a Malinois disguised in a floppy ear body when it comes to work!

She easily earned a Utility Prize II the same year I was hyper focused on Sue’s Invitational training. At the same time she earned her JHR and was even featured in an AKC video demo as one of the few non-labs. She recently finished her CD with high placements as well. She hasn’t been in the show ring enough to finish as our priority is performance, but her conformation is to die for. She’s also a blast to play with in disc and dock jumping.

Lana is the most stylish dog I’ve had in the field. Her intensity is unrivaled, and her biddability is just as intense. She was incredibly easy to get rock steady and clean up her natural retrieve. She has strong natural affinity to water, big range for a NAVHDA dog, and fantastic ground covering search.

In the home she’s a very sweet, snuggly, and calm house dog that’s the complete opposite of her fiery field self. She’s never met a stranger. Even though she didn’t grow up with kids she is a natural with them and even served as a therapy comfort dog of sorts at JFS with me. She’s a fantastic little bitch that brings a lot to the table.

Sue is the ultimate in versatility even beyond the field. Titled with all first placements and high scores in AKC obedience, and one of only a couple of GSP’s in the US titled in the sport of Schutzhund (IGP). His drive to work with his handler is unreal, and even landed him a spot as the only bird dog to ever participate on America’s Top Dog.

In the field Sue is everything I want in a GSP. He has an incredible nose, great range, and ground covering search. He won’t quit. In the grouse and woodcock woods his ability to track running birds is uncanny. He takes that same work ethic to his retrieve work and has put his NAVHDA skills to great use in finding crippled ducks. At his last Utility test he had such a monster 25 minute duck search a judge had to get him in a kayak! He’s the perfect combination of independence and biddability, when he does find that duck he just cannot wait to get back and present it to me.

NAVHDA is where Sue has really shown. NA Prize 1 at 4 months old, and UT Prize 1 our first time trying it. He had a lovely run in the Invy and missed that VC by only a few points. Form follows function with this boy, he’s a Grand Champion in UKC conformation and has many Best in Shows under his belt.

Sue has a great off switch and is just my best bud at home, and has served as a therapy dog for children service case workers. He’s my running and skijoring partner, and for fun we play in dock jumping and disc. He’s about as well rounded and versatile as a dog can get and an exemplary representation of this amazing versatile breed!

While I prefer hunting homes, I will consider active sport homes on a case by case basis.

Three years ago today Sue and I boarded his very first flight bound for LA to film America’s Top Dog. Let me tell you, it’s incredibly sobering and moving to go through airport security at the time the first tower was hit and the entire airport is head bowed in a moment of silence in remembrance. It was a stark reminder of why we have such security in place lest anyone forget.

Sue was an absolute trooper as he is with everything in life, took it in stride and was just happy to be there with his person on another adventure. And what an amazing ride it has been with him for sure—this dog has taken me on some incredible adventures to say the least!

I had every intention of keeping only one from this litter, and it was to be a female. Little black girl formerly Killkenny had us hooked from the start. But then this rotten little s**t brown collar boy has completely stolen my heart. His personality, confidence, boldness, and ORNERY is completely his father reinvented. And the little girl is a composed thinker with s***k, just like her mama. Gonna be daddy’s girl, just like mama Lana ❤️

CaseinPoint’s Anything But Sue, call name Bill.

Oh my heart. First puppy went off to her new home today and it’s a big one. I’ve long wanted to see one of my pups or a pup sired by my boys in law enforcement. I’m a firm believer that NAVHDA bred GSPs are great candidates for detection dogs, and now we will see that come to fruition!

Slane is being donated to Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force, and specifically placed with Licking County Sheriff Deputy Vogelmeier. I’m so incredibly honored they believe in my breeding, and super excited for her future! It really helps she’s local and part of the law enforcement community I work with regularly so I will really get to see how she develops (but I still cried.)

Slane went right to her first day of work after charming the Prosecutor’s office first, she has a hard day ahead of her of lots of loving at the Sheriff’s Department. She starts training next week! ❤️

Due to a larger litter than I anticipated and a few pup buyers with life changes, I have a couple of openings on my litter that’s currently 2 weeks old. Feel free to comment here or DM me.

I hope for a ton of natural ability in these pups: natural retrieve, affinity for water, athleticism and stamina, great noses, and TONS of drive. Not for the faint of heart or first time GSP owner lol! I prefer NAVHDA homes for these pups.

Lana is confirmed pregnant!! Ultrasound showed at least 6-7 Suebees, likely more ❤️❤️ If too many more, we may have a pup or two available, so reach out if interested!

14/01/2023

Everything has finally aligned with the help of progesterone testing, and fingers crossed, we will have puppies in March!! I’m over the moon excited for this litter ❤️ What perfect timing for puppies—spring babies and great age for a first fall in the woods!

FINALLY!!!!!! Black GSP’s are getting the full AKC recognition they have long deserved!!!

Too bad it’s too late for showing Ozzy but might have to bring Sue back out of show retirement.

Sue UT Prize II and Lana UT Prize III. Not the coveted Prize I I wanted but with how little prep we did this spring I’m not shocked. And any Utility test prize is still nothing to sneeze at, it’s a damn hard test and I was reminded of that this weekend. I legit don’t know how people follow up the Invitational with a UT test in the fall, it’s been a lot for Sue to switch back to. But we haven’t failed a UT test yet! Stellar field work from both, we have some retrieve and duck search things to work on but I’m still super proud of these two.

Buckeye chapter as always puts on an incredible test from start to finish—thanks to all the judges, apprentices, and a huge village of amazing volunteers!

I’m ready for a shower and a cold beer. Running two dogs in one weekend, I don’t know what I was thinking! 😵‍💫.

I’ve always thought Sue was kind of a big deal. The smile on my face says it all about not only our experience on America’s Top Dog, but the bond between Sue and I. The places this dog has taken me! I absolutely cannot wait to watch next week.

23/06/2021

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!

Sue’s ready for his America’s Top Dog debut, got his game face on in his new bad ass

Watch him next week on @ June 29 at 8pm eastern on A&E!!
