We are extremely selective in our breeding program and typically have a maximum of two litters per year. Von Weider Kennels have been breeding German Shorthaired Pointers for over 25 years. We select for breeding only dogs which will further our goal of producing elite hunting dogs with the temperament to be a great in home family companion. Our puppies have been placed in hunting homes all over the country.
We work hard to give our puppies a great start in life. We believe it is very important to socialize them to people, including children. We utilize the wonderful facilities we have to give them as many experiences as we can in their young lives before going home with their new families. We have a strong preference to place our puppies with families that will hunt them regularly and will enjoy their company in the house.
Our next scheduled litter will be in the Fall/Winter (whelping around Thanksgiving) of 2012. We had two litters last Fall and had tremendous interest/demand for the pups. This year we will be having one litter. We do not take deposits for our pups until they are 10 days old, but if you would like to be notified when specific details are available, please sign up for our newsletter or just check back with our site frequently in the early Fall. We have yet to decide which dogs will be bred. The dermination will be made in large part based upon the Summer training/evaluating of the pups we had this last Fall. We were very pleased with both the Ella/Ranger and the Lulu/Luke litters and look forward to great things from both litters. It will be a tough call on which breeding to repeat. You can see the BREEDING FAMILY page for more information on Ella, Ranger, Lulu and Luke.
Please call George Daniels to get more information and to find out about our health/genetic guarantees.
We test all of our breeding dog's hips and get them certified with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. We believe in doing everything possible to ensure we are protecting the breed we love so much from genetic problems.
