Pine Valley Gundogs - Michigan Beagle, German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

Home of Pine Valley Beagles and Pine Valley German Shorthaired Pointers, AKC CAR microchipping, training pens, affordable collars & leads, Tri-tronics training collars and more. We are a licensed commercial kennel in Lapeer County, Michigan and also an NKC licensed kennel. We started with our first German Shorthaired Pointer back in 1980 and our first pair of beagles in 1983. Since then we have grown to more than two dozen adult hunting dogs. Our GSPs are bred for their hunting abilities. They are not show dogs. Naturally, confirmation is also an important factor to responsible breeding, but my GSPs must have both! "All show and no go" doesn't cut it around this kennel! All of our GSPs used for breeding and stud are OFA certified to be sure that your GSP puppy will not suffer from any genetic medical problems, such as hip dysplasia. Our goal here at Pine Valley Gundogs is to offer you a healthy puppy that you can mold into your hunting companion for many years to come.

Our beagles are hard hitting gundogs that have lots of speed and drive, bred and trained to find the rabbits for you. No more kicking brush piles, that job belongs to the beagles! If you want a good jump dog that hunts for you, you've come to the right kennel.

Are family bought our GSP Cabella from Mike around December 8, 2011. She is our first GSP. Mike was very informative about the breed and gave us a LOT of helpful hints. From training to food. The first time I met Mike and his wife Rosie they treated me like an old friend. They are very friendly and really care about their animals. We very much enjoyed our little visits to they kennel to visit Cabella.
I have two small kids (one and two) and Cabella is very patient with them. She loves to be right by me at all times, has a lot of energy, and loves to play. But she does also enjoys quiet time laying next to me or the kids on the couch or floor as they play. I do have two pomeranians too and Cabella gets along with them also. I could go on and on about what a great dog she is!
Thanks Mike and Rosie for such a great pup! :)

I purchased my German Shorthair, Emme, from Mike on December 1, 2011. I am very familiar with the breed, owning two, my family owning a few, and previously serving as a foster home through a rescue organization. Mike's dogs are extremely calm in tempermant. We are not hunters, so Emme was purchased as a companion dog. Emme's disposition is wonderful. Emme was potty trained within three weeks of purchase and is learning basic verbal commands with ease. Emme was at the vet last week and he was so impressed with her connection/attention with him, the nurse, and me. She wants to please and that is the first sign of a dog that will be easy to train and make a great companion. I adore Emme and am so thankful for all of Mike's help and advise. I would definitely love to recommend Mike/Pine Valley Gundogs to everyone! AND will look forward to getting another German Shorthair from him in the future. Enjoy!!! I know you will!

it would be impossible for me to express in words what a wonderful place pine valley gundogs is, but i'll try! mike and rosie treat you like friends from the first phone calls/emails, the visits, then bringing your pup home. my beagle pup is a dream. so smart, loving, great with kids, and ready for outdoor adventures every chance he gets. every time he hears the word "outside" he does his happy dance and runs to the door. it was so nice to get our family puppy from people who take such great care of all their dogs from the second they are born. worth the 2 1/2-3 hour drive for sure. if we decide to add to our family in the future, we will be back!!! thanks mike and rosie! wish they were all like you!

I'll start by saying, "what a dog Mike." I began searching for a rabbit hunting dog to help me flush rabbits out of the thick cover we have here in western WA. I hunt them using the sport of falconry instead of gun powder and needed a dog with intelligence, and drive, along with a good nose. I contacted Mike of Pine Valley Gun dogs and was glad to here he was willing to ship one of his beagle puppies my way and even had the female tri-color I was looking for.
Mike worked dillagently looking for the best shipping arrangments for the dogs benafit and my wallets. I picked up the dog when the flight flew in and she was in beutiful health. I would have had her hunting sooner had I not had to correctly socialize her with her other hunting partner, the hawk. She has been a joy to work with both in training for the hunt and hanging around the house. She is now 4 months old and running rabbits like a champ, she even began baying and tracking the first rabbit she ever got a scent of at 3 months age, all on her own with out any previous training. She even found a leather leash I had lost in a 5 acre. over grown field before I even got her. That gave me a clue to how good this dogs nose is, tracking my 2 month old scent, and this dogs intelligence, placing the scent with me. This is a special dog we got so we decided to name her after a special place that both me and my wife love, Kenia, AK.
With the way Mike handled the business transactions and the way his kennels dog has performed I would confidently recomend Pine Valley to anyone looking for a good hunting dog and family friend.

I bought my first hunting dog this summer from Mike. I went in blind but Mike treats you like a life long friend and took the time to not only "sell me a dog" but to show me about the running of the dogs. Right now I just can't wait to get Zeek back to Mikes for the starting pen and then into the woods this fall. Thanks for a great experience Mike, Look forward to lots of bunnies this fall and who knows maybe another dog next year.

Mike, I just wanted to touch base with you about the litle female pup( IZZY GIRL) from Merlin and Faces litter. She is everything I expected and more. At 11 inches tall and 14 pounds she is a all around rabbit crazy hunting machine. She has alot of drive and the brains to go with it, in fact she just seems to know where to find a rabbit at all times. I run her with my 15 inch and 14 inch males who are 5 and 4 and she jumps just as many, if not more rabbits then them.BY the way, did I mention the wheels this little girl has WOW she is fast. I could go on and on about how pleased I am about her, but Ill let you hear more later after I start trialing her. Thanks for such a fine hound and Ill see ya in the woods. Kyle

I just brought my new beagle puppy home yesterday, not only is he the most beautiful dog but he is so smart and healthy. He will be the best rabbit dog in the world and my best hunting buddy for life! Thank you so much mike for all your hard work with my puppy whiskey! Mike and his wife are the friendliest people you will ever meet and they have a huge heart! The price of their dogs is so reasonable for all you get I felt like I was ripping them off. Mike went through everything so thorough with me right down to even the feeding and tri tronics collar I will be using. Thank you again with all of my heart and I'll be seeing you soon for my pointer! Jeremy shaw

After losing my old Beagles Jude and Selah to old age, I contacted Mike at Pine Valley Gundogs and a number of other breeders. What sold me on Mike at Pine Valley was his thorough knowledge of beagles, the great AKC bloodline, and the obvious care and love him and his wife have for their dogs. After meeting with him at his kennel, and getting a firsthand look at his operation and pups, my wife and I were sold.
My gandfather was a beagle breeder and I have owned nothing but beagles my entire life, and I can tell even at a young age that our beagle Molly has great instincts and all the traits you are looking for in a running dog, plus the added bonus of beagles being the greatest of all pets for a family with two young children.
My hats off to Mike and his wife for this outstanding beagle and a great all round experience with the training and microchipping. Get your dog from Mike- you can't go wrong!!!

I got my first beagle pup from Mike about two months ago. It was a great experience. He was very knowledgeable about the breed. My pup is healthy and is doing very well. I will be using Mike to train him for hunting as well. I would recommend Pine Valley Gundogs to anyone looking for a training site or to buy a hunting dog.
