CIRCLE R KENNEL - Michigan German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

Our licensed kennel specializes in training pointing breeds but also work flushers for upland hunting. Dogs should be at least 10 months old. A two week evaluation will be done on your dog. If we feel that your dog is not progressing satisfactorily, the dog and remaining training fee will be returned to the owner. An up to date health certificate will be required. All dogs should receive vaccines at least 30 days prior to scheduled drop off date.

The owner will provide dog food. This is done to make sure dog has food that his system is accustomed to.

During a one month training period, your dog will be fully conditioned to a beeper collar, hand and whistle signal trained, worked with our finished dogs, and have birds shot down to them.

We train on over 300 acres of personal property and 150 acres of preserve property. All of this acreage is designated as state licensed hunting preserve property, so dogs can be trained and shot over year round. In addition, we have access to several ponds so your dogs can be exercised and worked in the water.

Need your dog conditioned? Our property has a one mile trail that your dog can be safely run/roaded on with our ATV's.

Circle R Kennel has 3-4 well bred, hard hunting G.S.P. males for breeding, and raise a couple of litters a year from our top females. Started and finished dogs also avaliable.

Limited boarding space (with or without field work) also avaliable. 4000 square feet fenced exercise area.

We got Lucy, our 4-month-old GSP, from Brad a month and a half ago. It was clear from the moment we arrived that Brad had a true love for his dogs and deep knowledge and passion for the breed; and you really can't ask for more from a breeder. Lucy has been the greatest addition to our family. She's smart, loyal, cuddly, energetic, gorgeous and has brought joy to everyone she's met. We've reached out to Brad a time or two since getting Lucy, and he continues to be a valuable resource. We would highly recommend Circle R to anyone!

Linda and I heartily recommend Brad & Circle R.

We recently purchased a four year old male GSP from Brad. As gun dog breeders ourselves, we carefully assess those with whom might we do business. To accomplish that, I made a couple visits and booked a hunt, with Brad handling, and Bubba working, to get to know both. Bubba was exactly as Brad had described. And Brad proved to be everything a quality trainer/breeder should be. Honest, fair, dedicated, knowledgeable, skilled, helpful, trustworthy, and other similar adjectives come to mind. All in all, Brad and his dogs are special.

After taking my dog to Brad last spring I was so pleased with the results that now whenever we are out of town for an extended period of time, I just schedule my dog for training with Brad instead of boarding him. Brad keeps him well tuned, trained, and conditioned. I plan to take my dog back to Brad any chance I get.

We picked up our female GSP from Brad one month ago today and it is the best purchase we have ever made!! Mocha is 11 weeks old, smart as a whip and absolutely gorgeous. She is as well behaved as any 11 wk old pup can be - house trained and following simple commands. Brad was just great to work with. He answered all of our questions and his love for his dogs and knowledge of the breed is evident. It was a pleasure and very reassuring to be introduced to our pups beautiful parents and grandparents. We plan to take her back to Brad for some advanced training when the time is right and look forward to working with him again. Thank you Brad!

We picked up our pups from Brad just over a week ago and are very happy with them. Brad made it super easy and he answered all our questions. It is obvious that he genuinely cares about his work and the dogs. Kaya and Nuka are just over seven weeks old and growing and learning quickly!! Kaya locked up on a wing for the first time today and just about fell over. Brad's dogs come from great stock and we look forward to taking them back to him for further training. ****HIGHLY RECOMMEND****

Brad did a great job with my one year old shorthair. Whistle trained, pointing, retrieving and ready to go to South Dakota. Thanks Brad. We shot 25 birds the other day and he worked with 2 labs. I did what you said and left him in the kennel until we hunted. No problems, but him trying to retrieve every bird. The older labs wanted nothing to do with him. I worked Copper solo and he did awesome.

I just recently purchased Ruger a started 2yr old neutered male GSP from Brad, and we couldn't be happier. Brad took the time to answer all of our questions and was gracious enough to show us him in the field. It is obvious that Brad cares deeply about his dogs. I'd encourage you to look his way if your looking for a new companion or hunting partner.

We loved Brad, our dog Desul loves Brad. He is such a good trainer and breeder, he took care of our dog for 1 month and I was extremely worried but by the end we were extremely pleased with the way he was trained. He caught my boyfriend 77 rabbits this past year. We will be calling Brad again to do a refreshing coarse for our dog. Brad and his wife are truly sweet and really caring. We appreciate everything he did. He is AMAZING. Thank you.

Just got my 11 mo old GSP back from Brads. He is exactly what Brad said he would be when we dropped ZEKE off. Conditioned to a beeper collar, whistle trained with hand signal, a basic hunting machine. ZEKE at 11 mo old will hold point through the flush until released. He has had several birds shot down to him, over the next few month's will have several more. Looking forward to October. Great job Brad.
