Morningstar Shorthairs - Connecticut German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

MORNINGSTAR SHORTHAIRS was established with one concept in mind, "A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE". We are a small family run hobby kennel producing 1 to 2 litters a year. We breed to enhance our needs and goals for our guiding services. We test our dogs through the AKC hunt tests and NAVHDA programs. We have many titles on our dogs and are very proud of those accomplishments but do not select our breeding program based on titles alone. I personally must see and hunt with or over all dogs chosen for our breeding program. We look for only the best traits that will continue to produce the original German Shorthair.
Our breeding goal is to produce truly versatile gundogs for the field, the marsh and the home. Our bloodlines are carefully chosen and well established. They have been proven and tested through our guiding service for nearly 20 years.
The end results are puppies with sweet dispositions, natural hunting instincts, intelligence and a calm demeanor for a loyal and affectionate companion gundog.
The German Shorthair excels when they are part of the family pack. They do not do well as a kennel dog. Our puppies are sold to the discriminating foot hunter who wishes to have a companion living in the home.
Our training program is designed to be suited for each dog's individual needs and your individual goals for your dog giving them the opportunity to enjoy success and accomplishment as they progress through each phase of our training program.
"A great hunting companion, a great house companion, a great dog.''

Bill and Trish,

I can't tell you how pleased I am with "Jenna". Talk about a wonderful pup. I have had good dogs over the years, however, at 8 months old I can say I have a GREAT dog with Jenna. She is holding nice on point and if she tends to get a little too far out a simple blast of whistle gets her back on track without the slightest hesistation. What a nose, doesn't miss a trick!. . Awesome with kids, easy to manage in and around the house and gets along great with our Maltese. Couldn't ask for a better family dog.

Thanks for all your help with training and introducing her to birds right from the start.You guys make it easy. I wouldn't consider another dog from anyone else. Looking forward to next puppy, spring of 2014.

Thanks again, Paul Z

I purchased my now 8 month old GSP, Cooper, from Bill and Trish at Morningstar Shorthairs this past June and couldn't be more pleased. I am a golf course superintendent and Cooper goes to work with me each day. When you spend 24 hours a day with your dog he has to be perfect and Cooper is just that. Whether he is chasing geese or hunting squirrels(his favorite) his enthusiasm and prey drive are second to none. That being said he must come home each night and deal with my 3 boys ages 5 - 7. No matter how long a day he's had he is more than willing to take all they can dish out and then curl up with my 5 year old by the fire and watch some TV. If you are seeking a great dog look no further than Morningstar Shorthairs...

Shane and Liz and Bill and Trish were great. We got Brewer our now 8 month old GSP from them this summer. It was a great experience. We plan on getting another GSP soon and we will go with Morningstar Shorthairs. Only good things to say about Brewer and how we have been treated by all involved in the process. Brewer has great instincts and drive and is very intelligent. He is my first gun dog and he is all I hoped he would be.
