Calvert Kennels - Oregon German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

Calvert Kennels is phenomenal! We got my boy from them and they absolutely were the best with any questions we had. They truly care about their dogs and the homes they go to. Not only that Kathy and Cris have become more than our dog breeders but lifetime friends. We can't wait to add another GSP to our family from them!

It is hard to put into words how great every dog from this Kennel is. I got my first Upland Dog 4 years ago from Calvert Kennels. Kathy [and Cris] are amazing breeders with nothing short of the best GSP DK lines. I have had the please to meet and befriend others who have purchased pups from them. Every pup is solid. My boy [Huck] is an 83 lb tank. He post a 105 in his NA at 14 months during the COVID years- the 7 points not earned were on me as a first time dog trainer/uplander [recall on him].
Kathy and Cris have been very supportive of me and my boy, Huck, from the beginning. 10/10 recommend and will definitely buy from them again.

Superb bloodlines, purchased a female German Shorthair in 2016, one of the greatest blessings in my life. She came home with us at 8 weeks old completely house and pet door broke. At 16 weeks she pointed 10 planted chuckar shot over and retrieved them, however she thought they were hers. Respectful of our property while being free the run of the house. Was taught what NO means early. Sleeps in bed with us and a 5 lb yorkee and a chihuahua, they get along very well. She competed in NAVHDA natural ability test, receiving the highest score prize 1, 112 points. Calvert Kennels has a superb breeding program, Kathy and Mark are more than helpful after pup leaves there kennel, giving advice on training issues. Looking forward to the next hunting season with my best friend. John Andrus

Hi Kathy, I got your message and wanted to let you know I ended up naming my pup Gunner. I think you needed his name for registration on his chip.

Anyways, he is the best little guy I could ever hoped for. Not only is he smart and a quick learner, he is also great in the water. He is well on his way to becoming an all around sporting dog and a awesome companion...I Love him! Everywhere I go, I get compliments on what a good looking dog he is and how well mannered he is. At this point he already sits on command, stays, comes, retrieves, heels on his leash(which he doesn't even need), he loves my boat and all the fish he has been introduced to...he's not quite sure about crabs yet, laughing. He's great with kids and people, he even likes the vet. I havn't taken him bird hunting yet, but I am sure he will pick that up quick as well. You have done an exceptional job with your dogs and I couldn't be any more pleased with him... Thank You so much, the whole experience has been absolutely "top-notch". Needless to say, If anyone asks me about you or Calvert Kennels, you can bet "the farm" I tell them that they could consider themselves lucky to get a pup from you. If you need any more information from me, Please let me know.

Roxy, our pup from Eme and Otto is a natural bird dog! Have been hunting over her since she was 4 months! Nose is super way above the norm, has an ability to find birds that I've never seen from anyone's dogs including mine before her. Exceptional pup in the field and home, thank you for picking her out for me!

Having owned 8 GSP's throughout my life and searching breeders all over the NW. I only wish I had found Calvert Kennels years ago. Cannot say enough of their professionalism, knowledge of the breed, and care they put into their dogs. To add to that, the quality of their dogs and breeding program focusing on their hunting ability is outstanding! I was hunting over my pup at 5 months! She is a bird finding machine, loves the water, and has tracked wounded birds over 300 yards! At the end of the day, she is a pleasure to have in the home as well. Cannot say enough. Thank you for such a tremendous hunting partner and companion!

Our pup Finnegan is from Kathy's Oliver x Piper litter from October 2014.We are beyond pleased with him! He is the most intelligent sweet, and smart boy. Can't wait to get him on more birds in a few weeks! We can't say enough about your GSP's. They are truly special and we can't wait to get another one in a year or two!

Just wanted to touch base and let you know how wonderfully happy I have been with Sage, the female I got from you DEC 13'. She picked up hunting so naturally and we got into a lot of birds both by her self and other dogs. She minds so well and hunts full throttle but I can still have her calmly lay on her bed all day behind me at the office. Couldn't be happier!

What can I say about Calvert Kennels? Wow, Kathy has been unbelievably amazing. I began talking to Kathy when we had settled on a puppy from another breeder. It turned out that that breeder was a flake, Kathy was there for us through that awful situation. Then she let us come visit Piper before she had the puppies. As if fate had some role in it, Piper decided to have her puppies that night, Kathy let us stay and watch the puppies being born. It was a moment we will never forget. She has stayed in contact with us since day 1. I can't tell you how absolutely wonderful this breeder is. The amount of support she shows her puppy families and the support she also shows for our troops is phenomenal. Thank you for all you do Kathy!

I have a male from Olivers first litter.. "Mac" is a wonderful pet, a stellar hunter with a great nose. He is wonderful with small dogs and children and is not in the least bit aggressive...unless you have feathers of course!
