German Shorthaired Pointers, English Setters, English Pointers, and Brittanys trained and tried on the farm. We usually have pups and occasionally we will have started dogs. Multiple references with names and numbers are available....pics in the field!

German Shorthaired Pointers: If all goes well we will have pups READY to leave in April. These will be from 3-4 of our females crossed with Hank and Rex. All will be repeat...PROVEN breedings. These pups should make nice companion pets and wonderful hunting dogs in the field. A deposit of $100 will hold a puppy for you. The total price is $360. The pups will be AKC registered, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed regularly, tails and dew-claws docked. I can forward more emails and pictures from satisfied buyers than you will care to read.

Brittanys: Hopefully in January or February 2012 ( I was expecting this breeding to happen in December)we will be breeding our female Rose --colored orange/white/ticked to our male Jace --colored white/liver/patched/ticked. And will also breed Jill --colored liver/white-to Jace. These pups should be outstanding in the field as well as wonderful family companion pets. The price will be $360 each picked up at the kennel.

Setters: I just sold a WHOLE LITTER of pups from Buffy and Sarge --born 12-27-2011--that I did not EVEN have to advertise. Many of my pups are now sold by word-of-mouth or sold to repeat buyers. I am blessed to have the quailty of dogs that I have got.

***All of our dogs/pups are AKC or FDSB registered. The PEDIGREES are listed on this site.***

If necessary, the pups will have tails docked. Some of my Brittany pups are born without a tail! ALL will have dew-claws removed, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped, and registration paper at time of pick up.

A deposit of $100 IS REQUIRED for ALL Pups. If the buyer backs out of a deposited commitment HE/SHE loses the deposit. That just causes so much trouble when someone decides they DO NOT want a puppy and others have been REJECTED. SO....I WILL DEPOSIT YOUR CHECK!! I do not wish to sound mean....but ...Please KNOW if you DO or DO NOT want a puppy.

Depending on the flight weather conditions---shipping can hopefully be arranged...I DO NOT ship during the COLD WINTER months...nor during the HOT DOG-DAYS OF SUMMER. I also ship over-the-road (and had MUCH RATHER ship OTR)...so I will assist any buyer in getting his/her puppy. Buyer pays for the shipping expenses. The ideal situation is for the buyer to come to my home to get the puppy.

** Check out our STUD DOG Pedigree's--our males are available for STUD SERVICE @$300.

We think our puppy prices are STILL very affordable. Please let us know if we can help in ANY way with a puppy. The Spin Top Kennel operation is inspected by The American Kennel Club (AKC) . Our dogs, facilities, and records are checked. We are happy to say we have never recieved ANY negative mark(s). The inspection record may be viewed upon request by ANY buyer or potential buyer.

I SINCERELY THANK YOU for visiting this website and reading about my dogs. And I thank the HOST for this avenue of exposure.

May GOD Bless...Keep... and Protect ...and May God CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA!

We picked up our GSP pup from David a couple of weeks ago and have been very happy with her. She is going through the dog door at 7 weeks of age and is impressively intelligent. She has adapted to a large 3 year old male labrador and integrated into the family well. She's a beautiful dog and we are very fortunate to have been able to get a pup from David. Our interactions with David were kind and professional. It's obvious how much he cares for his pups and he takes pride in a clean kennel and breeding healthy dogs. We recommend Spin Top Kennel without reservation!

Our family obtained a Brittany puppy (Bandit) from David this July, for our son. Since July, Bandit has been busy growing and getting used to our house and not spending much time out in the field. When we took Bandit on his first pheasant hunting trip this November, we really didn't know what to expect. As this is our first hunting dog and I am learning myself. Most of the training he had received to this point, involved pointing work with a wing, finding wings planted in the yard and trying to learn basic obedience commands. Once we arrived at our hunting location, Bandit took a few minutes to acquaint himself with the other dog present and seemed interested in observing his new surroundings. Once we started to get out into the field, Bandit's instincts took over! For his first hunt he exceeded our expectations. He naturally, hunted in front of our group, moving back and forth to pick up the scent of birds. I really didn't know what to expect from Bandit, but I was very happy with his behavior. He quickly identified how to use the wind to his advantage, once he caught the scent of a bird, he was driven and stayed on task. We were very fortunate to have seen a lot of birds that day, and my son to be able to harvest one over his puppy was a great. We would like to thank David for not only Bandit but his friendship as well.

Jessica and I have known for quite some time that we wanted a dog. We searched the internet night after night trying to figure out what breed of dog would fit our lifestyles. One will often find us participating in some type of outdoor activity or gatherered around family and friends. Knowing this, we knew we wanted to bring home a dog that would be good-natured and adaptable to whatever environment they were in. Finally, we came across the German Shorthaired Pointer. After doing our research and learning about the German Shorthaired Pointer's temperment, behavior, and personality, this breed of dog appeared to be perfect for us! We googled German Shorthaired Pointers and came across this site. Mr. David Holt's reviews had us sold! The whole process of getting in touch with Mr. David to let him know what we wanted and keeping in touch with him was easy. Mr. David provided us with detailed pictures, through email, of Rex and June's litter. We were able to decide right then which puppy we wanted. I will admit, we were very anxious to go pick up our puppy and to bring him home. We sent numerous emails to Mr. David asking how our pup was coming along, was he eating good, was he "ticking" yet, etc. Mr. David never once complained about our emails. He always replied in a timely manner and was more than happy to answer any and all questions. Finally, on Septermber 20, we headed to Athens, Alabama, to meet our little man - Mitt! As soon as we arrived to the kennels, Mr. David came out holding our Mitt. Mr. David sat us down and went over all the paper work explaining the micro-chip that was inserted to our little man as well as all of Mitt's vaccines. Now I knew German Shorthaired Pointers were smart dogs, I just did not realize how smart. Before we headed home we put Mitt out in some grass so he could use the bathroom. Mr. David balled up a papertowel and threw it a few feet. Mitt went and retrieved the balled-up papertowel and brought it back to Mr. David. At that moment I knew that we had made the right decision.
It is now November 27 and Mitt is one growing boy. He is over 30lbs and still has a lot of growing to do. Training Mitt has been a piece of cake. We took the route of clicker training and it has worked very well. Just within the first few days we were able to have Mitt housetrained. When he has to go out, he will whine and head to the door. All we have to do then is just open the door and he heads to the backyard to do his business and he returns without us having to call him. Mitt also knows how to sit, shake, bring, and give. Mitt has a high energy level! That is okay though because we love taking him for long walks around the neighborhood and letting him roam around in the backyard. His favorite activity right now is swimming in our pile of leaves when we do yard work! When it comes to our families and our families' pets, Mitt is very friendly with all of them.
All in all, Jessica and I are very pleased with the decision we made. His coat is sleek and shiney and ever so "ticked" just perfectly. He thrives on outdoor activities just as we do. And just as we wanted, Mitt is that good-natured and dependable dog.

We recently got our second dog from Mr. Holt, a Brittany puppy named Wyatt. We all ready have a wonderful GSP named Cooper that we got from Mr. Holt a year and a half ago. Wyatt is beautiful and smart and full of personality and is going to be a wonderful companion! Mr. Holt has also become a great friend to us and has been a pleasure to work with. The kennel is clean and it is apparent that he loves and cares for each dog. I would recommend Mr. Holt and Spin Top to anyone!!

In may I bought and english setter from mr holt. He was a puppy from buffy and sarge. I literally had him retrieving to hand at 7 weeks. He is now 5 months old and is pointing and holding, backing, and retrieving to hand. Not to mention the hospitality at mr and mrs holts place.if any one asks me where they can get a setter, brittany, shorthair, or pointer i tellum spintop kennel. A 3 and a half hour drive from rome, Ga was well worth meeting really good people plus bringing home one dandy of a bird dog.

My husband and I purchased our GSP from Mr. David Holt. He is the sweetest person I have ever met! My husband told me one say he wanted a GSP for our one year anniversary, so I went on a wild hunt for a GSP. Mr. David's kennel's were very clean and nice! I could tell right away each and every single one dog was part of his family!
Our GSP already sits, is kennel trained, attempting to shake, and has been fetching for the past 3 weeks. She's will be 13 weeks this Thursday. We can't wait to see what else she will surprise us with.
I know she is a bird dog an will go on a few hunts a year, but she is a great family dog! She goes to the door when she needs to go outside! She sleeps right beside me every night!
These are just a few things that she has added to our lives!!! I would recommend anyone who is looking for a GSP to buy from Mr. David Holt. He is awesome!!!

I recently purchased a GSP puppy from here. This is by far one of the best looking dogs you could buy! And this guy also knows his stuff! He takes really good care of the dogs! Many people think German Shorthaired Pointers are mostly bird dogs... but they make great tracking dogs as well! My pup is 7 months old and has already tracked 6 deer this year! One of the deer went 550yds, crossed 2 creeks, quit bleeding, and was still alive when we got there and he led us straight to him! Recommend to Anyone in need of a Fantastic dog!

My boyfriend and I recently purchased a brittany spaniel from Mr. David Holt owner of Spin Top Kennel. He was very nice and had great kennels. He loves his animals and takes great care of them. I work at an animal hospital and took him the next day and was completely healthy. Mr. Holt is very honest man and I highly recommend purchasing one his dogs. He is organized and knows how to breed dogs the right way.
Thank you so much Mr. Holt for everything!!

Our GSP, Elsie, is the best little puppy. We brought our 12 week old home 2 days ago. We have only had her a few short days, and she already let's us know when she has to go outside, and answers to her name. She is a little cuddle bug, and follows us all around the house. I have never had a dog with this much personality. She seems to be a quick learner and is showing signs of "working" by pointing to bird feathers, and happy to retrieve her ball. I can already tell she is loyal and eager to please. She has had so much fun making friends with the neighbor's dog, and seems to be very social. Words cannot express how happy we are to have Elsie in our lives. What a difference this dog has made! We have had the pleasure of growing up around all different breeds of dogs, and assure you without hesitation we will always be pointer owners from now on.
Dave and his wife are wonderful warm people, who are very easy going and made the adoption process more than special for us, and even called to check up on our new baby girl. We certainly look forward to using Spin Top breeders down the road when we get Elsie a friend. But for now, we just can't get enough of our little Elsie and all the play time she requires.

My fiance and I purchased a Male GSP from Mr. Holt on Sept. 10,2011. "Tyler" is our pride and joy. We could not have asked for a better dog. He is so loving and VERY SPOILED :). He loves going to our pasture and running around with our female GSP and he points everything!! He has already learned basic commands and is doing very well. Mr. Holt is a very nice man and I would recommend him to anybody wanting to buying a well bred hunting dog. Spin Top Kennel is the nicest and the QUIETEST kennel we have ever been too. THANK YOU SO MUCH Mr. Holt for our wonderful dog Tyler.
