DEUTSCH KURZHAAR
Breeder - Jörg Kaltenegger
We are a select Deutsch Kurzhaar (German “Registered” Shorthaired Pointers) Kennel located one hour south of Nashville, Tennessee. I personally travel to Germany to select the best hunting and companion bloodlines.
The Deutsch Kurzhaar (DK) is a truly versatile companion and hunting dog that can hunt feather or fur game. Our dogs have also completed the advanced German blood tracking and utility examination. We firmly believe that great puppies come from great dams that have proven themselves in the field and show ring.
Our dogs have sound temperament and structure.
We have several families where fathers, sons and friends have purchased puppies from us. The quality of our pups is very important to us.
Do not accept any substitutes or imitations on a lifelong friend. Our pups are tattooed/microchipped and come with the German Pedigree (Ahnentafel).
Thank you very much for visiting our web site and considering us.

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.
