First we would like to take a minute to Thank You for visiting our website. We invite you to call or e-mail us with any question you may have or just to talk about shorthairs. German Shorthaired Pointers are a very big part of our lives and we like talking about them.
SOS kennels is located in the scenic farmlands of Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. We are approx 45 minutes north of Harrisburg and 5 minutes off of Interstate 81. We are not a puppy mill that breeds for the sake of doing it or to make a few bucks. Breeding and Hunting GSP's is our hobby! We spend most of our time training our German Shorthair Pointers. If it's not our adults that we are traing then it's our puppies. We have a strong desire for GSP's and because of this, we plan to continue serving you with OUTSTANDING GSP PUPPIES!!
Before a breeding takes place, we give careful consideration to the bloodlines, the parents and the overall quality of the pups they will produce. We breed to Improve, Preserve and Enhance the characteristics that make the German Shorthaired Pointers so unique. These characteristics are excellent temperament, confirmation, intelligence, trainability and natural hunting ability. Our dogs also compete in AKC hunt test and have been proven to be great hunters.
We have been with German Shorthair Pointers for over 6 years and have learned so much about the breed...What an amazing breed of dogs. As you look through our website, you will see that we have proven that we have learned alot about the needs and training of a German Shorthaired Pointer. Researching and learning all we can about the breed is an ongoing process for us as we want our dogs and pups to have, and to be the best.
We have been very careful about the dogs we have chosen for our breeding program as we want to make sure we better the breed with every breeding. Our Sires and Dams must have an amazing temperament, great confirmation, health clearances, must have the bloodline to back the dog up and most importantly...must have the natural desire to hunt as that is the main desire of the German Shorthair Pointer.
We like to see our pups go to hunting homes but due to the great characteristics of the German Shorthaired Pointer we also sell to non-hunting homes... not to mention that they are one of the top breeds for family pets. We sell our pups to approved homes only! We do not sell to agents, brokers or pet shops. We only place our pups in homes where they are loved like a family member.
Because we are so loyal to our dog, we put our puppy money back into our dogs....as you will see as you explore through our site. Some of the things we use the money for is....make sure that all our dogs have top of the line vet care, top of the line living conditions - where they have AC in the summer( for when the temp is to hot) and heating in the winter (for when the temp is to cold), quality dog food, quality training tools and equipment which makes for better training.
Here at SOS kennels, we ALWAYS have beeper collars on our dogs to locate the dog when they wonder into thick cover. We do own a e-collar. The e-collar is used for SAFETY REASONS ONLY - not discipline!! As you can see, we have been working hard at proving each and everyone of our GSP's. In order to run a dog at a AKC hunt test, you can't have your dog trained to an e-collar as you are NOT ALLOWED to have an e-collar on your dog while your dog is being judged.
Our satisfaction rating, thus far, is 100% and we intend on keeping it that way. We guarantee our dogs with a written 3 year health guarantee and do whatever we can to satisfy our new puppy owners. We are always here to help in anyway we can. Not just for a few weeks after the pup goes home but, for the life of it. Please check out or "References" page, to the left, to see for yourself.
Please explore through our site and learn more about us and our dogs. If you are looking to get a pup from us, contact us on the availability of our pups as you might want to reserve a puppy early. We start receiving deposits, for most litters, 6 to 12 months in advance. We have a large list of satisfied clients and a list of people wishing to join them. If you look at the love we have for our dogs, the time we put into our dogs, look at the pedigrees(as we have some of the best in the country), come meet us and meet our dogs....you will see why we are one of the few breeders who have a waiting list!! |
