Puppies!!


Wanttohunt Kennels breeds to Improve, Preserve and
Enhance the characteristics that make the German
Shorthaired Pointer so unique.
Wanttohunt Kennel is dedicated to breeding healthy, happy, intelligent puppies.

Our goal is to produce the best quality puppies possible.  We strive for a hunting dog with great intensity for birds and
the beautiful conformation and style of a show dog.  Wanttohunt Kennels is dedicated to breeding quality hunting dogs
that are also a joy to have as part of the family.  Great care and effort are taken to ensure excellent health, genetics,
natural abilities, temperament and desire in our Sires and Dams.  

While adhering to the guidelines of the breed standard, we understand that we have a responsibility to produce dogs
that are not only beautiful to look at but are also outstanding representatives of their breed in every way.  Temperament,
correct structure, instinctive and natural hunting ability, intelligence and a willingness to please are all attributes that we
consider to be necessary in the development of each and every puppy that is born and raised here in our home.  Every
single puppy is nurtured, loved, and encouraged to develop its own personality and independence.

Our puppies are whelped under close supervision in our home.  We work closely with our veterinarian to ensure they
receive the best care possible.  Both parents receive pre-breeding health checks, receive regular veterinary care,
current vaccinations and testing and treatment for any parasites.  Ongoing veterinary care, regular exercise and good
nutrition ensure continued health of the parents and subsequently the puppies.

All puppies have their tails docked and dewclaws removed at two days old by our veterinarian.  All puppies receive a
physical exam from our vet, their first immunizations and are wormed prior to leaving our home.   The puppies will be
introduced to the great outdoors as early as possible, weather permitting.  



ALL Puppies are sold with a written contract and health guarantee.  All puppies are sold on a Limited Registration,
unless the puppy is to be shown in Conformation (Conformation possibilities will be discussed on an individual basis)   
AKC Limited registration is identical to full registration, except that any offspring will not be eligible for AKC registration.
  Limited registration
does allow the puppy to participate in all AKC-sanctioned non-conformation events.   Evaluation at
2 years of age can be arranged to discuss full registration.   Click here to go to the AKC website on

We are confident that you will be happy with any Wanttohunt GSP  that you purchase from us.

We will always be available for advice and guidance for the life of the dog.  We consider ourselves to be a most
important resource and support system throughout the dog's lifetime, and it's never a bother or an inconvenience to be
contacted for help or input when it concerns our dogs and their well-being.  

Sometimes circumstances in lives change.   If a change in circumstance requires giving up your dog, we require that the
dog be returned to us or permission given by us to place the puppy in a home we have approved.
We do not ship puppies to buyers sight unseen.  Unless you can provide references from people we know, we
expect you to come here to meet us and pick up your new GSP in person.  Homes with fenced yards are preferred.  We
expect the dog will live inside with the family and receive the appropriate veterinary care throughout its life including
vaccinations and heartworm preventative.   

At Wanttohunt GSPs, we feel it is very important that the right puppy be matched up with the right family. All puppies are
temperament/aptitude tested and their structure graded prior to being placed into their new homes.  The goal is to
match the puppy according to what their new families are wanting them for, and what their expectations are. Puppies do
not leave our home before the age of 8 weeks.   All of our puppies leave with Puppy Packets that contain your contract
and warranty papers, pedigree and health clearances, puppy's pertinent papers, health record, as well as helpful
information to help you get off to the right start with your puppy.   We encourage some form of puppy  
kindergaten/socialazition or obedience class for new puppies and their families.  

We are as selective in our choice of homes as we are in our choice of breeding stock.  We feel responsible for all our
puppies throughout their lives and want to ensure that they'll be well cared for, secure, and loved until the end of their
days.  The "pick" puppies need to be decided upon first, and often this is not finalized until the puppies are 6-7 weeks
old.  We reserve the show/competition puppies to go to serious competition homes.  Then we will suggest puppies we
think are suitable for your situation bearing in mind the temperament of the puppy and your family lifestyle.  We do not
rate puppies as 1st, 2nd or 3rd; rather we want to match puppy personality & temperament to the proper home for the
puppy.

Since our kennel is small, we can only produce one to two litters a year.  We don't have puppies available all the time.  
We seldom promise puppies in advance because we don't know until they're born and have done some growing exactly
what we'll be offering for sale.  We realize this can be frustrating if you want a puppy right now, but remember that your
new GSP will be an intimate member of your family for at least 12 to 14 years.  It's worth waiting for the right one!

We will at times refer people to other reputable breeders based on what they are looking for or what we have at that time. Remember, Registration papers
are not a guarantee of a quality puppy, neither is a high price tag. This is not a time to look for a basement bargain. This is a relationship that will last for
12 to 14 years so make sure you are getting a dog that you can live with, one that is healthy, has a sound temperament and will be a joy to have as a
companion.
