PLEASE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A DOG OR PUPPY PLEASE CALL OR TEXT ME AT+18595850805 WHEN YOU EMAIL ME THIS WEBSITE HAS NOT BEEN FORWARDING EMAILS TO MY PERSONAL EMAIL. THANKS CHRIS Welcome to Holbrook Kennels. I run a small operation located in central Kentucky. I grew up hunting quail and grouse in the foothills of Eastern Kentucky. This being said all of my dogs are out of proven hunting stock, yet their pedigrees will speak for themselves with NFC, AFC, FC, and Dc field trial titles. Names such as Nolan's Last Bullet, Tuminski's Crib, FC AFC Cunningham Roustabout Rowdy, FC Wrenegade's Strike Three, NFC FC Uodibar's Koonas, FC Rawhide's Lexington Jake and NFC Heide's Mighty City Slicker are present throughout my breeding. I believe in careful and selective breeding of only the best bloodlines and only proven hunting dogs to ensure my pups have all the traits and characteristics needed to become great hunters. All my pups are socialized with adults and young children starting at 5 days old. They are handled and played with on a daily basis from then on. I personally do not like a timid, aggressive or overly hyper dog so I have carefully bred my dogs not to have these traits. I usually have one or two litters a year of each breed alternating between sires and dams. My dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club of North America. I only train and work dogs in the spring and summer months leaving the fall months to do what I love best watching my dogs working in the woods. I limit myself to training only 10 dogs a year to ensure I get to spend enough time with each dog to get it where it needs to be. If I happen to be booked up I have proven trainers that I am comfortable with that I can refer you too. I look forward to introducing you to your next bird dog. Feel free to email or phone me with questions about upcoming litters or training questions. A great bird dog is a pleasure to have in the field and at home. Thanks and Happy Hunting! Again please call or text

We picked Aspin up two weeks ago. Prior to picking her up, we received weekly updates and pictures. In addition, any questions that I had were answered promptly and in detail. The day that we picked her up, she had been bathed and had her nails done. This was a first for me, though I have another GSP and owned another prior. She was so comfortable driving home in the car and in fact slept most of the way. She adapted very quickly to our household I.e; she had, and has, no problem sleeping in her crate. After 5 or less minutes of crying she goes right to sleep. Moreover, she sleeps through the night. She only woke up the first 3 nights around 2:45 to go potty outside but went right back to sleep after. These breeders spend a lot of time with their puppies getting them ready to be in their forever homes. They are obviously very attentive by the easy transition Aspin has had to use. I highly recommend this breeder and will go back to them in the future!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Chris from Holbrook Kennels to bring home our beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer, and we couldn't be happier! From start to finish, Chris made the entire process an absolute joy.
Chris kept us informed every step of the way. We received regular updates, complete with texts and adorable pictures of our puppy. It was so much fun to see her grow and develop, and it only heightened our excitement as we prepared to bring her home.
We loved being able to visit and meet all the puppies in person. Chris was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, helping us choose the perfect pup for our family.
We have no doubts about our puppy's pedigree. It's clear that Chris is dedicated to breeding healthy, happy dogs, and we feel so lucky to have found her.
Overall, our experience with Chris was fantastic, and we can't recommend him enough! If you're looking for a GSP, look no further than Holbrook Kennels. You won't be disappointed!!

I have owned GSP’s since 2006 and was looking for a male after losing our second GSP suddenly at age 6 in June of 2025. I searched all over for a solid breeder and I came across Holbrook Kennels in a search. After reading some stellar reviews, I reached out to Chris in early July to inquire about any upcoming litters. I was just in time as he had a female that was due at the end of August. Chris let my husband and I come and visit his kennel and meet the sire/dam. Not only does he have well mannered pups, but his facility is extremely clean and well kept. He added our name to a waiting list (no deposit) and let us know when the pups arrived. We had a beautiful boy waiting for us! Chris let us come and meet Delta at four weeks when we put down our deposit. His communication with us was excellent from the very start. He would send us updates every week with pics and videos. He would also answer any questions I had as I am a pretty hyper vigilant Dog Mom (especially after our recent loss). I was also able to connect a local couple with one of Delta’s litter mates so he has a sister close by!
When picking up our pup, Chris had all the paperwork ready to go. He and his wife Heather had bathed our pup plus trimmed his nails.
If you are looking for an honest breeder with a love for GSPs then look no further! I will be getting my pup a buddy in about 5 years from now and I will be going back to Holbrook Kennels! Thank you Chris and Heather!

We had a great experience with Holbrook Kennels! We found Chris on the AKC Marketplace with a litter of German Shorthaired Pointers. He was very prompt at replying to my husbands inquiry and we were able to come meet the puppies and ask him questions before putting down our deposit. In between meeting them and selecting our puppy to picking him up, Chris provided lots of updates and pictures to us. We then picked up our puppy on March 1st and he has been amazing. Chris went through all of his records and answered any questions we had, plus followed up with us after to see how everything was going. Our puppy is very sweet, energetic and active (but not overly hyper), smart, and so much more. We absolutely recommend Holbrook Kennels!
