K Quarters 'N Shorts (Kristin Kariger) - Utah German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

We are accepting deposits for our 2008 litter, expected the first week of May- we were slow coming into heat this year...

As soon as they start to walk, they get pheasant wings dangled in front of thier noses - then we start learning "come", getting solid on coming when called, sitting on command, play'n fetch - retrieving tennis balls, pigeons, and pheasant wings -starting to point on the pheasant wings, and being exposed to the water as we go out and track up along the riverbed quite regualrly.

Mostly the pups are White with Liver patches - some a LOT of liver, some not so much. They will all have their AKC registration papers ready for you to fill out and send in. Their dew claws and tail tips are removed at 2-4 days. They have excellent intent when they get out into the fields. If you are a SERIOUS hunter, these are the dogs for you - exceptionally smart, and also calm and mellow (not high-strung and nutty!). We'll start shooting the 22 above them, and then will be moving on to the shotgun soon. The older they get, the more training they will get, the better they will get, and the more we will be asking for them.

.. there is a great deal of time put into getting these pups "raised right" and ready for your home. Both parents are avid hunters, the Sire (a son of Dan's Gage of Excellence by a Rusty's Rawhide Clown female) has a pedigree PACKED with champions & will be placing TOPS in his field trials! And they both have extremely pleasant manners. They will make excellent family dogs as well as superb hunters - past litter pups have all taken to the birds early and QUICK. All pups are taken to the vet at two weeks for health checks making sure there are no causes of concern (ie heart murmurs etc)...and will begin their series of shots at 6 weeks.

Kristin,
Just want you to know Cooper is a great dog. He is very intelligent and listens well. He learns commands quickly. Now that hunting season is over I've been working on obedience and it amazes me how quickly he learns.

He's a happy loving little dog that wants to be part of everything. I think he spends at the most a couple hours a week in his kennel. He's usually in the house with us. He loves riding around in the back seat of the truck and going everywhere we go. He loves going to the dog park and getting all the other dogs to chase him. It's funny to watch Cooper go running by with a whole heard of dogs behind him.

Cooper is also a hero. Someone tried to get in the back door of our house one night. Cooper heard them trying to get in and started barking. It shocked me at how deep of a bark he had because he never barks. Andrea heard the door knob rattling but I was still asleep at that point. I knew something was wrong so I got out of bed and went downstairs, Cooper was right beside me. When I flipped on the light it scared the person off. Andrea heard a big ruckus and looked out the window. She saw the person jump over our back fence and take off running.

Cooper is doing well when we go hunting. He pointed his first wild pheasant on opening day of the hunt. I attached the picture. He is always looking for birds. I need to get him to hold point, but that will come with training. For his first year he did awesome, I just wanted to keep the excitement for him so I mostly just let him do his thing. This next summer and fall I'll be working on refining and honing what he naturally does.
Dan
