Getting my gsp pup from Don and his wife was the best choice I could have made. My male gsp Khona, was house broken in less than two weeks and loves to learn. He is so handsom and well behaved. He fetches like no dog I've ever seen and is the biggest cuddler. Don and his wife made my boyfriend Brian and i's experience for our first puppy so easy and fun. Both were friendly and knowledgable about many different dog topics and put my mind at ease for many things. I recommend this breed to so many active people I know and I always tell them to check out London Kennels.

We recently bought our puppy from this breeder. He is now 14 weeks old. I've had pups in the past and this puppy was house broken in a week...amazing. The breeder was very friendly and very knowledgable. I take our puppy to puppy classes and he is very intelligent and has a great temperament. Our pup is great house dog as well and great with the kids. We also take him out to run around in open fields and his hunting instinct kicks in its actually amazing to watch. If I could I would def get a second gsp pup from this breeder...highly recommend !!

I recently purchased a pup from here. Great people to do business with and very knowledgeable. My pup has great bloodlines and is showing her natural hunting ability already at just under 3 months. The pup is very intelligent, I have never had a dog with this kind of intelligence. Would highly recommend a dog from London Kennel to anyone, whether just starting or a seasoned hunter.

Well Millie officially turned one on Oct 1st. on opening day of pheasant season myself and two other hunting buddies limited out in less then 2 hours. the next day we left for Maine and drove 7 hours to do some wild grouse hunting. i have never been and didnt know how to hunt them,and either did Millie. We got up, drove down the dirt road in the heart of the great north woods. Within 15 minutes she had three grouse. 15 minutes after that she winded a snow shoe hare(a beagle couldnt have done better) and pushed it right to me.In the two full days we were there she pointed over 20 grouse and the hare. The most amazing part of it all wasnt the game she found.It was the way she changed her hunting style from the day before where she bound thru cover to find the pheasant. she realized the grouse flushed easily before she could point them. she knew they were in the soft woods. Millie slowed down and worked the wind she would stand on her hind legs and put her nose in the air. she slowed down and quartered back and forth and slowed her approach and was able to point them after 4 birds flushed. Millie continues to learn and impress. To think her better hunting years are ahead of us is amazing!!!

We are so happy with our male GSP puppy. We have always had Labrador Retrievers and after our 9 yr old lab passed away, we decided to try a GSP. We are so glad we did. Our little bailey is now 12 weeks old and already close to being 100% housebroken. What fabulous dogs Don and Linda have. We are tempted to get another from them to keep bailey company. I highly recommend them as very reputable breeders.

as i have previously stated i would update millies growth. with a hour a day and some basic bird dog training this 5 month old pup i felt was ready to hunt. i think everyone thought i was nuts..except for millie and myself. i took her out on a 13 bird hunt..and yes she pointed all thirteen held point and retrieved 7 out of thirteen..she was ready i needed more time at the skeet field. she never tired and pointed like she was 5 years old not 5 months. my long time hunting buddy couldnt believe it. the hunt was at millstream ask them they saw it. i dont think much more needs to be said..its off to water training next!

I've known Don for a few years now so when it was time to purchase another pup - Don was the first person that came to mind. I've had quite a few German Short-haired dogs and I've done my share of training them also. I purchased Jojo from Don back in July from his May litter, and I couldn't be happier with Jojo. She loves being with people. @ 7 months we had Jojo working birds and she had her first point a few weeks after that - she has a great nose - loves to track and retrieves. I would recommend Don's dogs to anyone and everyone.

Don is one of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to German Short hairs and training them.... You won't go wrong!!!

My girlfriend and I purchased our first dog from the Faverys. Outlaw Josey Wales. We have to admit, the decision of who to buy from was overwhelming, but when we met the Faverys they were very welcoming. They answered our questions and were honest with us, and they stand by their word. Our dog is unbelievable, have been training her with rod and wing, she has been pointing since day one. She takes commands in stride, it's so natural. We can't imagine not having her. We are very active people, and Josey rides everywhere in the car, runs beside us when we're mountain biking, and loves being outside and in the woods. House and crate training went well. Josey gets along wonderfully with our friends and family dogs. We can't wait to hunt her. We took her to our gun club and she is not phased by the gun fire. The dog loves to work, either during training sessions or in the woods, and it all starts from great breeding from the Faverys.

We purchased a puppy from the Favry’s in December, born 10/1/11. We have had Ella for 4 weeks now.

She is confident, smart, active, curious, brave, and sociable, she is everything one would look for in a GSP. She runs towards loud noises, rides good in the car, crosses the stream out back (even though it is cold out right now), loves to retrieve, and points at her toys.

She seems to be housebroken already and even has figured out how to let us know when she needs to go out. From the first day we got her she hardly ever went in the house. And crate training was a breeze.

She practically trains herself. She knows many commands already and really excels at stay. She will already sit and stay even when I leave the room. Stay is usually a hard thing for an high energy puppy, but Ella is a pro.

She was good at the vet and did not yip or nip not even when she got her microchip (that is a big needle!). The vet likes her, the trainer likes her, other dogs like her (and she likes them), everyone comments on how beautiful she is, and she certainly is. She is physically and mentally healthy and it shows.

Everything seems to come so natural to her, and we attribute that to her great breeding. The Favry’s are nice people to deal with and have been honest with us. If we decide to get another one I am certain I know where I will be heading.

this is the third full day with our 8week old puppy. her name is Millie. I have had dogs my entire life. this is my first gsp. I had multiple spaniels,setters, and currently have one of the best dogs I have ever owned a yellow lab. All have been well trained and obedient. Obviously some took longer then others. Without question Millie is the smartest puppy and easiest to train to date. She has impressed me so much in three days I felt compelled to write this. She knows her name,sits on command,comes when called, and yes retrieves and drops her toy(soon to be birds) at my feet consistently. I am blown away! I am not exaggerating in the slightest. I also have three children ages 6-10 who she lets carry her around like a toy. This is a true testament to the breeder. Don and Linda Lee are true professionals who know exactly what they are doing. If unsure speak with them and see the dogs and facility for yourself. You wont be disappointed as a matter of fact you will be educated. I don't usually write testimonials but I would be doing everyone and every dog of theirs a disservice if I didn't. I will update this with her growth. My family thanks you Don and LindaLee
