Power Point Kennel - Indiana German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

Our kennel is a small training oriented, family operation situated in the farm lands of north central Indiana.

We are accepting a limited number of dogs each year for our training program. We own German Shorthair Pointers but we train all pointing breeds. Our programs range from the basics of a started hunting companion thru and including a steady to wing and shot highly polished bird dog. We can customize our services to meet your needs. We also train and handle dogs in all levels of AKC hunt test and specialize in the AKC Master Hunter titled dogs. Please visit our web site for more information.

Here at our kennel the goal is to provide our clients the best hunting companion possible. We strive to make your hunting partner the best he or she can be. If you are purchasing one of our dogs or we are training one of yours, we have the same drive and commitment to achieving the end results you desire. We strive to provide you that brag dog that you have been looking for and at the same time one who also can be your best friend for years to come.

Our drive is to have your friends want to put their dog back in the truck once they have hunted behind yours!

Dave,

Thanks for doing such a great job training my shorthair Top Gun Ella. Your commitment and professional skills at training really shined in Ella's short hunt test career. Passing 5-7 for senior hunt tests, then going 5-6 on her master hunt tests really exceeded the average pass rate of 30% not to mention the money I saved on further entry costs. I came to you as inexperienced as one could be and any questions I had you were always eager to answer. The last minute NAVHDA natural ability test I threw on you really made me appreciate your commitment to me and Ella. With a couple weeks notice you were able to obtain a prize-1 with 110 pts. I will always steer people looking for a professional trainer with really clean facilities, and a proven track record your way. I would love to talk to anyone thinking about using Power Point Kennels for all their dog training needs.

Thanks for all your hard work,
Eric Skym

My german shorthaired pointer Greta is amazing! Right now at 9 months of age this dog will hunt in tall grass, briers, and cold conditions. She will scent wild pheasants that are covered under brush and snow and point them solidly until I go in for the flush. I've hunted pheasants for a long time and I am truly amazed by what this dog can do at this young age. I thank Dave for his great expertise and organization of a great kennel facility! Great GSP's!

What a phenomenal experience! My first short-hair, Cody, spent his first 7 months with Dave. Not only did Dave establish a strong foundation the field, he also socialized Cody into a great companion. Cody is driven beyond belief, but it was the effort, time, and compassion that Dave put in that made all of the difference. Thanks Dave!

Power Point is one of the rare kennels that gives the dog owner as much or more than they pay for in their training program. Dave and Deb Troup have a kennel full of great German Shorthair Pointers most of which have attained the AKC MASTER HUNT Test Title. Their blood lines of Shorthairs produce hunting dogs with excellent bird drive, hunt intensity, and will range according to cover conditions.
I purchased one of their puppies in June 2010 and at 6 months old this female was pointing and holding game birds. I've had the opportunity this last fall to hunt her in South Dakota on Pheasants, Quail in Oklahoma, and a mix of Quail and Pheasants in Kansas. She gets along well with my other dogs, is exuberant, and an eager loving friend.
