Shock Kennels - Montana German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Breeders

SHOCK KENNELS is a full service breeding and training facility for Hunting dogs. While keeping an eye on conformation, we breed for hunting dogs, not show or bench. We hunt our dogs from Sept 1 to Jan 15, on upland and waterfowl in a variety of conditions and settings. When I'm not guiding, we go hunting! We are able to judge our breeding success in the field and blind. We look for teperament and brains, great nose, good search, high prey drive, love of people. Our breedings are producing pups that are easy to work with for a beginner, and a pleasure for more experienced handlers. They are pointing, and retrieving (from land and water), hunting hard at a very early age. With the proper exposure we are hunting over them as young as six months!

We also offer professional training for pointing dogs with an emphasis on versatility. We train and handle for NAVHDA, NSTRA, VHDF, AKC Hunt tests, but most importantly for your next hunting buddy and brag dog! Our kennel is producing puppies that are calm house companions, and champions in the field. We offer started dogs for sale at all times, puppies and finished dogs ocasionally. We are breeders of Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, German Wirehairs, and German Shorthairs. Call or email me and I will be happy to dicuss your needs and wants. Training space is limited so make your reservations now.

I picked up a six month old started male WPG from Scotty at the end of September, since then I have spent 29 enjoyable days afield. Scotty is a honest Breeder/Trainer that delivers with his dogs. I will be working with him when I get my next WPG.

i bought my gwp spook this last august and the dog has been nothing but excellent. with the dog still being under a year old we have shot tons of pheasants and quail over her. she retrieves birds out of the water no problem, points like a champion. this dog was a quick learner and is easy to handle. I would recommend scotty to any one who is looking for an excellent hunting dog.

Coming Home
It has been a long time since my last hunt. About ten years ago I gave up the gun and took up the spear gun. During this time I lost my two hunting dogs, Ginger and Poppy. These dogs were not your average dogs they were German Wire-haired Pointers. I have hunted Wired Hairs since 1984.
So the quest began like the quest for Holy Grail. I set out on an adventure to find the right dog. This started in the Sacramento Valley and ended in Ledger Montana. After several days of talking to trainers and kennel owners I finely found Shock Kennels. Scott and his son Craig had the dog I wanted. Scott and Craig are first class dog handlers and avid hunters. Everything they said the dog could do, it did.
To prove this we hunted Zipper a six month female German Wire-haired Pointer. This dog has the desire to hunt and to please. These qualities are only seen in selective breeding. By the third day of hunting under this pup I knew it was going to be mine. Scott and Craig Henry are great guys. They treated me as though I was family. Scott, Craig and I hunted several other breeds, Labs, Griffons and Short Hair. They were all great dogs but I found my Wirehair.
I would recommend their kennel to anyone who is looking for rugged, intelligent, and obedient dogs. If you would like to contact me please feel free to do so at alsauto@inreach.com.

Scotty,

Yuma is a great dog! Does pretty much what ever I ask of him. He loves to hunt. We’ve only hunted dove so far as quail season starts in about a month. I have been putting him on quail in the morning when we run and hope he will transition once the fire works go off. He hasn’t picked up the quail sent yet but gets the idea that they are the birds we are looking for. I bought some quail wings and will start working with them on a dummy soon. I attached a photo of Yuma at my office. He really is an easy going dog which I like. He’ll kick back at my office and turn on the energy when we are out at the farm. Thanks a million for the pup.

Got my female GWP "Dice" from Scotty last July as a started dog. She is one of the two pups held back from "Roxy's" litter last year as mentioned on his website

"At 12 weeks of age they were retrieving bumpers and pigeons from the water, and pointing their birds by scent. They were actively hunting the fields, and at 6 months we were killing birds for them."

That early exposure to birds, water, gunfire etc I feel were key to her being such a good bird dog, especially for a beginning trainer like me. She is BIRD CRAZY and LOVES to please. Very quick working and aggressive in the field but calm in the house and well mannered.

We had a very successful 1st season chasing pheasants/quail last fall. We advanced her whistle training Scotty had started and worked on her steadiness getting better each time we went out but as she is still young have work to do.

Being in the USAF I am limited in the amount of time I have to train so took her for Force Fetch this spring. She was already pretty good on her retrieves, but now has it dialed in. She hits her marks well and is out and back very quickly.

While picking her up Scotty set up a basic plan for me to finish off her steadiness/whoa breaking. He is always available for help over the phone whenever I have any questions and that shows his dedication to his dogs. I plan on bringing her back to him next summer for a month or so to finish/tidy her up before the season starts.

If you want a dog that will hunt hard all day with good drive and desire to please and be a great family/house dog look at what he is breeding. If you want a trainer whose only focus is the dog he fits that bill too. When its time for another dog he will be top of my list!

I would like to add to my previous testimonial, I would recommend Shock Kennels for training any of my dogs, Scotty just put a VC on my WPG Mr. Brown. He has a good handle on training and his son, Craig is breaking in and is doing a nice job with the young dogs. Please feel free to contact me if you have a question about the kennels. 406-466-3741 Phil Parsneau

I got my GWP at 6 months from Scotty. Boone is the 5th wirehair we've owned and may have the most potential. Scotty did a great job in getting him started. Boone recently scored 108 points Prize 1 in Natural Ability. I believe exposure to Scott during Boone's early training contributed to the dog's cooperative and enthusiastic behavior. We plan to continue his training with Scott. Thanks for your support!

I sent my Griff Puppy for Force Fetch Training. What a difference!!!! I am also co-training with Scotty towards UPT. Just finished NA Prize 1 112pts. Highly recommend this trainer/Breeder.

I have had many grifons, and two years ago purchased a pup from Martin Gagnon, of Canada. I train dogs also, but do not like to force break my own dogs. I left my pup, Jacque, with Scott for about 3 months while I trained some dogs in Wisconsin, when I returned in late June of last year Scott said lets run him a UT test, well I have never seen a more responsive and cooperative dog than he turned out, Scott ran him in a UPT in Canada last fall, and two weeks latter, ran him a the Fall UT test in Wisconsin Chapter and earned a perfect Prize I in the UT, he wasn't two years old yet and I feel that is quite deserving of a trainer, Scott gets my highest regards for his efforts and training skills.
