Desire to Please "For True Companionship"

We have been accused numerous times that we have already house trained our puppies before we send them out to their new owners. It is hard for us to explain this or maybe it would sound too much like a sales pitch for us to explain. Our dogs respond to humans, if you socialize them properly and don't use a heavy hand, you will find out that our line of German Shorthairs just want to please. We explain to people that our dogs have personalities not an attitude. One thing is for sure; "we are not kennel-blind". If a dog doesn't develop into the type that our customers would love and be proud to own, they will be discarded for future use.

We don't believe in breeding extremes to weakness, or try shortcuts to get to where we want to go. If a purchased line (outcross) or stud dog prospect does not demonstrate a great personality and willingness to please, along with our other important traits we will not consider them. About 95% of our dogs live in the homes with their new owners; many ask me if this will ruin them? We can tell when training a customer's dog that lives with them have better manners and a stronger desire to please, they also head for the house at the end of the day instead of the kennel.

It is important with our customer base that we produce calm, easy natured animal that are good, clean caretakers of their kennel or couches that they call home. We feel the only disadvantage of having your hunting partner living indoors is that they might not develop the winter hair coat needed to protect them during late season duck and pheasant hunting. We are not going to be the one that weighs out the differences; it's entirely up to new owner.
