IronWire German Wirehaired Pointers - Colorado German Wirehaired Pointer Breeders

Our breeding program follows strict standards. All puppies are American Kennel Club (AKC) Registered. We do not over breed our females. We spend more time developing our puppies because we only raise one to two litter a year. We determine the health, genetics, and lineage of the sire and dam. All dogs must be confirmationaly correct according to the AKC and German Wirehaired Club of America Standards. All sires and dams must be born to at least one accomplished dog and we prefer to have Dual Champions (DC) in their pedigrees. We match the strengths of both parents so that all of their offspring will be even better bird dogs. I don't just rely on my opinion when I am choosing dogs to breed but consult with other GWP breeders to get their opinion on the breeding to insure that I am truly bettering the breed and not just putting puppies on the ground. In addition to our focus on breeding the best hunting dogs, we also strive to breed dogs that have excellent manners with people — especially children — and they must behave appropriately in new situations. Our goal is to produce friendly and biddable bird dogs.

We got our beautiful solid liver baby in March, and at the tender age of three months we got to see her very very birdy drive. She loves birds! At this point she doesn't care what type, but I know by fall she will be a lean mean hunting machine. Adam is great. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can see is passion for his dogs. Highly recommend his dogs. Not just for hunting but as wonderful well tempered family members! Thanks again, Adam!

Our pup is simply amazing. Easily the most even tempered young dog we have ever owned ..... until he is down to business looking for birds. He is running Puppy and will be for a while as he is still young ..... but he is off to a great start, doing well in Field Trials this fall and even placing. Our young daughter showers love on him and he just basks in the attention. He also gets along extremely well with our 8 year old lab. Just a great addition to the family. Ironwire invests a lot of energy in breeding the right dogs to get the best result and then spends the time to get them socialized to meet the wide world.

We are not hunting people and were looking for a great dog to join our family of five including 3 young children aged between 2 and 8 years old.
We charged Adam with selecting the best pup for us from the litter of 5 knowing that selecting a suitable dog for our family setting was very important to us.
Our female puppy is now 5 months old and we could not be happier. Adam was always available to answer questions and accommodate our visits, which was important as we had to travel 100 miles each time to visit the litter and get acquainted with the puppies.
We would strongly recommend Ironwire to anyone wanting to own a German wire-haired pointer.

I had researched the Breed of German Wirehaired Pointers for 2 years before i found Adam. My wife and i were looking for a new pup not only to hunt but to be a family dog as well. I called Adam and that was it! The experience was nothing but awesome! Adam and Amy were awesome. They made us feel like we were family and answered all are questions and still do. We have 2 Daughters 1 that's 5 and the other 7 and they instantly fell in love with our "Lady". She has been an awesome dog! Having a Golden Retriever that's coming up on retirement, Lady has somehow made him young again. She has awesome Hunting instincts and retrieves to hand without command. I've only had her on Frozen Birds and can't wait to get her on live Birds. Lady can run all day and still has energy to play with my daughters until they say " Daddy i'am tired ". I told Adam what i was looking for and he made the match and it's been great. My Family and i will definately be purchasing another Ironwire pup. If you want a Breeder who cares about the Breed and is willing to help in whatever way they can, Ironwire is the place to go.

When compared to other breeders, Adam sets himself apart because of his approach to matching dogs with prospective owners. He understands that matching a pup with a good home is the key to ensuring that the dog and owner are as satisfied as possible. His commitment to not only prospective owners but perhaps most importantly, the dog, is supremely evident.

Furthermore, his understanding and genuine appreciation of the GWP breed contributes immensely to his dedicated breed stock objectives. Simply said, Adam won't pursue a litter if he is not certain that the best possible traits will be exposed in the litter. This said, I've hunted behind several of his dogs, all of which are very impressive on wild birds.

Beyond his commitment to developing the best GWP hunting line(s), and perhaps most important, lies a certain love for the breed. Proof of this love is evident in the selfless dedication to the animals he and his wife, Amy, foster through the GWP Rescue of Colorado.

Also, it's worth mentioning that Adam and his wife Amy are genuinely good people which is clearly demonstrated by that fact that all of his customers are friends!

I've had experience with 3 different GWPs over the course of 17 straight years. They are outstanding hunters whether for quail, dove, pheasant, duck or goose. If you are looking for a dog that will break ice to retrieve waterfowl or run all day in a field without tiring, then a German Wirehair is an excellent choice. They love the family environment and thrive with positive attention from their owners. My wife and I were looking for a reputable breeder and found Adam and Amy Cunningham in Parker, Colorado. They matched a GWP pup they thought would fulfill my needs and desires and it was a match made in heaven for us. The Cunnighams carefully choose their breeding stock as to afford the best combination of Wirehair lineage. They have been extremely helpful with any information we would ask of them and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice of breeders.

We brought Zeke home in July, and absolutely love this dog! He's got a great personality and plenty of energy. He's definitely a natural born hunter, as I put him on some live birds a couple of weeks ago...talk about hunting instinct! If you're looking for a dog that not only hunts, but makes a great family dog, Ironwire is the place to go. Adam has done an excellent job with his dogs! Adam has been great in getting us information on training and the breed in general. We will definitely be getting another dog from Ironwire.

So I will start off by saying that I had been looking for the perfect
dog for quite some time. A mutual friend, Ben Garcia Owner Hideaway
Kennels, introduced Adam Cunningham and I when he found out that Adam
was going to have an upcoming litter of GWP pups. Ben knew that I was
looking for this particular dog and promised me that this would be THE
litter to get one from! After talking with Adam about Ironwire and
meeting Fritz and Dolly I agreed with Ben that this was what I was
looking for in a puppy. When the pups came there was only one male
dropped and with Adam knowing I was looking for a male he gave me the
first pick at it, and I didn’t hesitate at the chance. After having
my male, Hitch, for over a year now I cannot be happier! He is all
that I was looking for in this breed; very driven, but still in
control, loves the field and the water, has a nose on him that rivals
many older dogs that I have hunted with, and very trainable. After
this being the first full season of hunting with Hitch I can support
Ironwire Kennels and my decision to get a GWP from Adam. Hitch is not
only great in the field, but very well behaved around the house also,
the companionship of this breed is unbelievable. The strong willed
versatile GWP has been perfected through the breeding at Ironwire
Kennels! Great dogs with huge hearts and I would recommend them to
anyone looking for a very solid dog!

I have had the opportunity to hunt behind a number of Adam's dogs as well as having friends who own pups from Ironwire. I would be hard put to say if I was more impressed by the dogs personalities and social behavior with people/other dogs ... or how well they hunted. I am on the list for a pup out of Riot (amazing style and runs all day ... on top of being just a beautiful lady). Can't wait!

BEST DOG EVER! I brought Ella home in October 2010. Adam was extremely accommodating in helping us fly Ella home to norther california. Adam met us at the airport and Ella flew home as a carryon, sound asleep under the seat. She was a great puppy and very easy to handle. Ella never chewed anything and was comfortable in any new situation. It is only her first season in the duck blind and she is catching on quick. She loves to be out there and has an extremely strong hunting drive. Now we are just building her confidence in chasing down those giant crip greenheads. Her first day out we had 25mph wind and Ella retrieved 4 out of the 7 mallards by 9:00am. The season has been slow due to no weather but she is developing great blind manners and gets better and better each day. No Questions Asked i would do it all over and will definitely be going back to Adam for a second gundog.

Thanks for everything Adam
