We are located 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania, USA.  

 

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.

Dusty vom Holtvogt (below) carries the Zatopec KS vom Hege-Haus bloodline which consists of large and athletic dogs with extremely strong pigmentation. Like her grandfather, she is stunningly beautiful but more importantly Dusty moves through the field and water with a strong purpose. 

 

Dusty is also part of the exceptional “vom Holtvogt” D-Litter that has three outstanding females in it. All three sisters tested early with 4h “outstanding” scores and received “V” excellent conformation scores as adults.
