Chippewa Kennel - Oregon German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

We breed NAVHDA tested Hunting German Shorthairs with lots of natural ability for the serious hunter who does not have a lot of training time or experience. These calm dogs do it all - upland birds, waterfowl, game tracking, and are great family companions. Meet our dogs and learn more about us on our kennel website link below.

We are planning snychronized mating of all three of our females in December, 2009; puppies will be born in February, go to their new homes in April, and be old enough to benefit from their first hunting season. Delta has produced four NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Award litters with 36 pups hunting from Tennessee to Alaska; she is a member of a NAVHDA Utility Breeders Award litter. Gracie earned her Prize 1 Utility Award mid-August, 2009 and her second litter earned a Natural Ability Breeders Award on the same day; five of her eight tested pups earned maximum scores; she is also a member of a Utility Breeders Award litter. Piper earned a Utility Prize 2 award in August; her first litter born in March 2009 is pointing and retrieving birds at 5 months.

As confirmed by the exceptional NAVHDA Natural Ability testing results, Chippewa pups possess a very high level of natural hunting ability and cooperation. They are truly a pleasure to hunt with and watch in the field.

Our young stud dog, Garrett (Cody's son) is available for mating to approved hunting bitches. Training is available for a very limited number of dogs with preference to Chippewa dogs.

Halfway through my pup's first hunting season, I can say without any reservation that Howard Meyer's dogs are loaded with natural ability, drive and intelligence.

I came across Chippewa Kennels from Gun Dog Breeders.com and I'll definitely be going back to Howard for my next pup.

I own a male from the 2009 Gracie x Cody litter, and this little dynamo has exceeded every expectation I have set for him. We just returned from three weeks in Montana, where River pointed and retrieved dozens of wild pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse, and huns.

Along with four of his littermates, River earned a 112 Prize I in his NAVHDA Natural Ability test in August 2009, at just shy of 8 months old.

River is a total athlete and a sight to behold in the field. He can hunt tirelessly in the chukar hills for 8 hours, bust through thick cover to find pheasants and slog through thick, weedy ponds to fetch downed waterfowl.

Without a doubt, River has a wonderfully well-balanced disposition. At home, he's as much a sweetheart as his mother, Gracie. He is obedient and loves to please (even when his puppy desires get the best of him), eagerly greets visitors (if sometimes a bit too eagerly!) and is an instant, playful friend to every dog he's ever met.

And he's a looker, too. Gracie's "hot roan" coloring makes River one of the best looking shorthairs I've ever seen. I can't count the number of compliments I've received about what a good looking dog River is.

Don't hesitate to contact Howard if you're interested in a fantastic hunting companion and loyal member of the family. He has been very accommodating from the moment I first met him. Howard runs a truly first-class facility and he goes out of his way to help new puppy owners set their dogs up for success!

I've known Howard Meyer since 2004 and have purchased 2 GSP pups from him since that time - full sisters, albeit from 2 different breedings of Cody and Delta. Both were Prize I NA pups at 7.3 and 8.1 months respectively. They were easy to train and they have turned out to be exceptional bird dogs. I bought my first shorthair in 1975 and have owned many since. But I can say, without reservation, that these 2 are the best I've ever partnered with. They are both family dogs and tireless hunters. Their desire to hunt and please knows no limits.

We hunt hard and often during a 5-month bird season, logging about 50 days on the western landscape from Alberta to Oklahoma and North Dakota to Arizona, pursuing everything from quail to sage grouse and all-sized fowl in between. These dogs never miss a beat. They have great noses, are staunch pointers and also retrieve very well.

I've had the pleasure of spending time in the field hunting with Howard Meyer and his dogs. I've also seen his kennel firsthand. He and his dogs are first class, and so is his operation. To my way of thinking, Howard is the quintessential dog breeder, especially for the walking hunter, and one who always has your best interests in mind. The legacy of Chippewa Kennel contines to grow with each litter produced. If you're looking for a consciencious breeder who raises and sells exceptional GSP puppies and started dogs, I would highly recommend you contact Chippewa Kennel.

I have an 9month old GSP from Chippewa,and she is nothing short of a great dog. Izzy is my first experience with raising/training a pointer. She has a sweet disposition and an obvious desire to please whether in the field hunting or hanging around the house. Howard has been a great help with introducing Izzy to birds and sharing his knowledge and experience in training pointers as well. Overall, awesome dog!

Training , hunting, and living with Fossil, my 2+ year old GSP from Chippewa Kennel has been nothing but a good experience. From the get go this pup has been all business on birds and has not required any sort of force training. I am especially impressed with his long tracking retrieves on winged and running birds - none of which have ever been crunched, he is a soft mouthed natural retriever ready to enter thick cover, water, whatever. I am a novice handler/trainer who has just given this pup ample opportunity on pigeons and wild birds and I have not had any "issues" or bad behaviors to correct. I've trained a good solid "whoa", and "here" and now I've got a great gun dog who will hunt with me without the use of an e-collar to keep him in range. He's hunted 13 species of birds so far - from snipe to honkers - with enthusiasm for everything. He is also a very friendly and gentle house dog to boot - very safe with visiting toddlers, etc.. I can't thank Howard enough for this dog, and look forward to getting another soon.

I have been hunting and judging GSP's for over 30 years. I have hunted with Dr. Meyer, and hunted and judged his dogs and that is why I chose to use a Chippewa bitch to breed to one of my males. Chippewa GSP's are high energy, family friendly hunters who demonstrate the characteristics of GSP's that have made them a top choice for hunters for years. Whether a hard days hunt or laying in front of the fire with the kids, Howard's Shorthairs are some of the best I've seen. At 8 months, my puppy is an awesome dog with great prospects.

Spent 2 years looking for a GSP in the PNW. Have 2 Chippewa GSP's. What else can I say. I can not say enough positive things about Howard, Vicki, and these wonderful dogs!

THESE ARE REAL FAMILY HUNTING DOGS, not some field trial or puppy mill product that is all too common these days.

Gino, purchased from Chippewa Kennel as a started eleven month old GSP is progressing very well. He has a great disposition, is easy to train, is a great retriever and has excellent endurance. His first season included a South Dakota pheasant hunt, where he was a big factor in four hunters shooting their limit.

My puppy form Chippewa Kennel is now 9 months old. She has been hunting on 5 different occasions. She started pointing by mid day of her first hunt. On her last hunt she tracked down and retrieved a wounded Roster. What can I say she is a fantastic hunter. Thank you Howard Meyer

I obtained my German Shorthair Pointer from Chippewa Kennel in September of 2005. I have hunted with my GSP (Bosch) starting in September of 2006 and we have just completed our third very successful pheasant season here in Washington State. My GSP has a great temperament and the best nose for finding birds of any GSP that I have ever owned. I will put my GSP up against any other hunting dog in the field for his ability to find birds. He will hold a rock solid point and retrieve to hand every bird that I shoot. I found my experience of obtaining a GSP from Chippewa Kennel to be very pleasant and professional. I personally recommend Chippewa Kennels for there great line of German Shorthair Pointers. I am looking forward to obtaining another GSP from Chippewa Kennel’s in the future.

I bought a German Shorthair pup (Ruby) from Chippewa Kennel in 2006. She has turned out to be the best upland bird dog I have ever had. She is also a great family pet. Howard Meyer owner of Chippewa Kennel is the most knowledgeable dog breeder an trainer I have been associated with. He follows the life of ever pup he sells. When ever I had questions during Ruby's training I could call or email Howard with my questions and he would get right back to me with suggestions. I just returned from hunting in South Dakota (Ruby's third trip)and she pointed or flushed every bird I got (25 roosters). She also retrieved ever bird. I would be glad to talk to anyone about Chippewa Kennels and Howard Meyer.

I recieved a pup from Chippewa Kennels and couln't be more satisfied. He is both an indoor pet and hunting companion. He has pointed,tracked and retrieved at five months to get my sons first pheasant. He is now 8 months and is retrieving ducks. He will recieve his natuaral ability test this spring. I'm confident he will pass with flying colors. Howard knows how to breed the perfect dog.

I have a liver and roan pup from Delta and Cody's November 2007 litter. Simply put, her maturity and competence in the field are astonishing. Ten to twelve month old pups have no business doing the things shes done this year. I don't consider myself an expert, but I've certainly seen a few dogs work, and the fundamental attributes that she so obviously possesses (primarily nose, desire, and biddability) can only be product of a first-rate breeding program. You don't produce dogs like this by chance.

As a family owner of shorthairs for over 34 years and having some 8 hunting buddies with shorthairs that are all a direct result of my previous or current dog(s)I can honestly say our puppy has exceeded our very high expectations. The natural abilty of our puppy has come through in flying colors. I would say she is the best puppy we have ever seen in action. Even though we were not able to work with her as much as we had intended she still is an amazing dog and a great addition to our family. Hunting with her is way too easy unlike most young dogs she is all business in the field. In her first season she is pointing and holding wild birds, and retrieving to hand and working great with 1 to 4 other dogs and hunters each time out. Howard is a stand up fellow whom offers help at every turn, and whos primary concern is for his dogs and his clients...unlike many kennels whom the primary concern is $$$. We will be calling on him again when the need arises for a new hunting partner, as will my friends. All my family can say is thanks Howard.

I had been looking for a German Shorthair pup for about 6 months when I met Howard. After meeting him, his dogs, and watching his dogs in action I had no doubts that he was producing the best dogs for what I wanted. My Chippewa pup is now 9 months old and has completely exceeded my expectations. The pup is showing an exceptional prey drive and sense of smell. He points, tracks, honors other dogs' points, and retrieves very consistently with minimal training. The dog has a wonderful, calm disposition and impresses me daily with his intelligence and desire to learn. In addition to producing outstanding pups, Howard is a great guy to do business with and was very helpful with puppy training tips and advice. I will definitely buy another pup from him in the future.

It has been my pleasure to own a Chippewa GSP for the past two years. My experience with the breeder was very positive, and the pup has proven to be exceptional. "Rose" is 2yrs and 4mo. old. She is an aggressive hunter who ranges widely when hunting chuker, but can be held in close when working pheasent. Rose points dependably and she retrieves readily to hand. She performs blind retrieves on land and in water. Six weeks ago I handled her down a 15' bank, across the Malhure river, up the other bank and into a thicket of willows to retrieve a downed mallard. Good house dog too!
