Below are our training grounds in the Flint Hills of Kansas.
We raise and train Deutsch Kurzhaars (German "Registered" Shorthaired Pointers). We exclusively use German import dogs because they produce the best companion and hunting bloodlines.
Our dogs are calm inside the home and turn it on in the field, water and forest.
Our goal is to breed a life-long companion that can be trained and handled by any person.
.
The Deutsch Kurzhaar (DK) puppy can become a truly versatile companion that can guide you through fields to find game and be a companion for a special needs person. Our Deutsch Kurzhaar puppies are hunters, blind guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, Falconers and a life long friend.

The truly versatile hunting dog should be able to persistantly track wounded game on lead to recover the hunter’s shot prize.
The German Blood
Track Test (Verbandschweißprüfung – SW) and the VGP Utilty Blood Track
(Riemenarbeit) allow the dog to demonstrate their ability to follow a track
that was prepared with small amounts (8.5 ozs) of blood and to complete a track
that challenges the dog’s persistance by it’s length, age and design.
All German test
tracks use the same 8.5 ozs of blood and have two turns in them but they vary
in length and age.
The VGP Utility
track is 400 m/440 yds in length and is aged 2-5 hrs (TF or Day Track) or at
least 14 hrs (ÜF or Overnight Track).
The SW test is
1000 m/1100 yards in length and is aged 20 hours (20-std) or 40 hours (40-std).
The dog must also be 2 years old to enter this examination.
Some people state that they “do not want their
bird dogs to become blood-hounds.” Recovery of wounded game is an important
trait in a truly versatile hunting dog and will only remain in the bloodlines if
breeders/trainers continue to challenge their dogs in this area.
Below we like to
recognize the dogs in our kennel who have persisted and completed their
blood tracks succesfully.
