I obtained a puppy from Mike and Sally this summer and have been extremely pleased ever since. The Simms made the whole process exceedingly pleasant and I would not hesitate to obtain another puppy from them in the future. I could not be happier with my puppy. He is healthy, energetic and everything a GSP is supposed to be.

Mike and Sally are just wonderful people. We purchased a pup from them about a year ago and we enjoyed the purchased and easement of the whole process that we decided to get our little dipstick a little sister that we named princess!!! We would purchase with Mike and Sally every time and if I can talk my husband into it we may purchase another in the future!!! Thank you Mike and Sally for doing this not for the money but for the enjoyment for people especially the children receiving your precious pups!!!

We were referred to Mike and Sally by a friend who had gotten a puppy from them years ago. I reached out to Sally about a puppy, told her exactly what we wanted and they had us a puppy with their next litter. Once we knew what puppy we were getting Sally always sent pictures and videos regularly until we picked her up. The puppy was a gift to our daughter and they had her ready with a bow at pick up to surprise her. We have stayed in touch with them since getting our puppy and they stay responsive. They have been great to work with and always willing to give advice. We love our little GSP we got from them.

Mike and Sally have been wonderful to work with. My husband has been deployed for 9 months, during that time we lost his dog due to old age. He has always wanted a GSP so I started looking for breeders that might have a litter around his return date. When I told Sally what I was looking for she was totally on board with helping us find the perfect puppy. As luck would have it they had a litter born in August that was ready this past weekend. She sent me pictures and videos over the course we were waiting on her to be weaned. I picked my husband up on Saturday in Jacksonville. Mike and Sally made a 3 hour trip to Lake City on Sunday to meet us and we picked up our sweet Birdie on the way home. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect timing or 2 nicer people to work with! They really went out of their way for us and I can't say enough good things about them.

Sally and Mike are absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the adoption process and it was amazing to visit them multiple times to meet my puppy. They are wonderful people and treat their gsps as family. Sally would send me constant updates, countless photos and would regularly communicate with me about my puppies progress. If anyone is considering adopting they should look into Rocky Creek Kennels and I will for sure be back soon to add another member to the family. Thank you Sally and Mike!

Mike and Sally were wonderful from day 1. They are passionate and loving GSP breeders who have been breeding for over a decade. They really take care with explaining everything and providing us with all info needed. Would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a beautiful GSP pup. This was our second pup. We have a 5-year-old male GSP (from another breeder) and we got a female pup from Mike and Sally. She is just as they described her: a doll but holds her own.

My wife and I loved the experience. We got updates from the time we picked out our puppy until we picked him up. We got pictures and messages the entire time which made the 8 weeks a lot easier to get through. Our puppy Duke is incredibly smart and picks up on all of our training and loves his days relaxing at home. When we’re ready we will definitely be going back to rocky creek for our next hunting buddy. Loved the kennel and the family that runs it!

We love the way they were always sharing pictures of our pup from day 1 and was willing to meet us half way to pick him up. They don’t do it for the money but for the dog to go to a good home! They are priced very well and look forward to sending them pictures of our boy Dipstick!

Mike and Sally were wonderful throughout the process! We got updates and pictures anytime we asked and even when we didn't! Our puppy was very used to people and is very smart and well mannered. So glad we got our puppy here! Would not hesitate to recommend Rocky Creek to anyone!

Mr and Mrs Sims have provided a great experience in helping us bring Rocky to our home. We are in love with him! They have an excellent program and have provided continuous answers to on going questions. Can’t wait to our female in the fall!

They were so good to us and kept us inform with comments and pictures of Tucker while we wait for him to be ready for us. They love on him and that transcend to a good loving dog. They still ask us for picture and comments in Tucker even long after we got him. Great people highly recommend them. Beautiful dogs

Mike and Sally are simply the best!!!! We got our Jesse from them. He is the best dog! So smart and a natural hunter. He is mainly a lap dog for now but he definitely fits into our active lifestyle. The transition to pick him up was seamless. Once we knew we were getting him, we received updates and pictures/videos. It was so awesome watching him grow from such a tiny pup! He came vaccinated & wormed with all the paperwork. Mike and Sally are so great to work with and really treat the puppies with the highest level of care! You can ensure that any puppy bought from them, is one of the highest quality!

We couldn't have chosen two better people to help us find the perfect puppy!! We have known Mike and Sally for years, so we immediately knew we wanted to get a puppy from them!! Once we picked out our sweet boy, we were able to visit him almost every single week until we took him home!! Plus Sally sent us pictures whenever we couldn't visit to keep us posted on how the puppies were doing. Mike and Sally are so friendly and welcoming!! They truly care for and love every single puppy!! We couldn't thank them enough for helping us find our sweet Dexter!! I know that if we ever decide to get another GSP, we want to get it from Rock Creek Kennel!!

We just purchased our 2nd pup, a male GSP we named Huck. He is just as sweet as his big sister Annie we brought home a year ago. Again 100% happy with our choice. Mike and Sally love all their fur babies. This is not a puppy mill, this is a super clean, family, friendly environment to raise pups until they get to their forever home.

We could not be happier with our experience at Rocky Creek. Mike and Sally are wonderful people. We were immediately welcomed and treated like long, lost friends. We highly recommend Rocky Creek if you are in the market for a quality GSP puppy and some great new friends. Thank you Mike and Sally! Oh, and Ruger says, "Hey!"

We had the absolute best experience with Mike and Sally Sims! We got our Delta in early April, and she is the most beautiful puppy! We met with Mike and Sally in late December, and their place is very clean and not at all like a typical puppy mill. Their dogs are well cared for and loved very much! After the puppies were born, we received weekly pictures and videos which made us all so excited to meet our puppy! You could tell that the puppies were well cared for! Once it was time to get Delta, the Sims were so helpful in organizing pick up. They provided us with a folder full of info with everything we needed. Delta was perfect when we got her! The Sims have been available for any questions we have even after having Delta in our home. All in all, you will not find a better breeder! It has been a wonderful experience!

I've gotten 3 g.s.p. from them and they are the best breed! Mike and Sally are the sweetest people and you can trust them! We live local and get to see them often, they do such a wonderful job raising the puppies. They are very knowledgeable and make sure all the puppies have everything they need before going to their Fur-ever family! Litterally the best!!
Submitted by: Brady Irwin on Apr 23, 2021
We got our girl from Mike and Sally and can not say enough amazing things about them and their dogs. They are not a business but a family that truely care about the dogs they raise and it shows, from the way they treat them to the mere fact that they have pictures of many of the dogs that have bred in their livingroom and have continued to stay in communication with us since we picked Jersey up.

We have a smart, quick learning, healthy puppy that came home well socialized due to the great deal of one on one affection that she received.

If we ever choose to add another GSP for our family we hope to be able to go through Rocky Creek.
Submitted by: Hayes Cooley on Apr 11, 2021
After looking around for some time we chose to get a pup from rocky creek kennel and needless to say this was no mistake. Mike and Sally are real, honest, and down-to-earth breeders. They have a natural and effortless connection. Not only did we add our pup Dale to the family but Mike and Sally are family now too.

Mike & Sally were great!! So happy I found them here. We got our boy “Blitz” in early October and he has been a great addition to our family. They have beautiful dogs, perfect representations of the breed. Incredibly our puppy has a strong retrieving drive without having started training, and it’s so cool to see him naturally in point. They’re such a pleasure to watch running around. Very High energy so be aware of that, but that’s what you get in a GSP. As for RCK, they were great throughout the process. From first contact to the day we picked our puppy up, clear communication, expectations exceeded along the way. Sally sent me pictures and videos all along to see our puppy’s progress. Now that’s changed to ME send her the same now that Blitz is home with us. I suspect I’ll be in contact with them a long time (already thinking when we will be adding to our family again ;) )

Overall very happy. RCK is not some gross puppy mill. They are a nice family, living in the country, sharing their love for these beautiful dogs. It was obvious the breeding program is a family effort, even the young kids were involved and helping socialize the puppies. Another thing with them..... they were reasonably priced. Some breeders out there are charging ridiculous $$ for a puppy. RCK’s pricing was realistic and appreciated. Ultimately we’re looking for a lifelong pet, but I wasn’t looking to go into debt finding a nice dog from a respectable breeder. We found exactly what we were looking for in RCK. Blitz is a handsome, healthy little puppy who has obvious tendencies of a good blood line. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back to RCK in the future.

Mike and Sally are wonderful people and breed beautiful pups. We were invited over to visit our pup anytime and were sent pictures weekly if not daily of our sweet girl. Once you meet Mike and Sally and visit their kennel, you see the love they have for what they do and for their animals immediately. Our pup, Annie, is now in her forever home and we couldn't be happier with our girl or our choice in breeder.
Submitted by: Dan M. on Oct 19, 2020
Great breeders, had the best experience dealing with them. Kept us fully up to speed from the time the mom was pregnant all the way up until we picked up our puppy. Great people that really care about the dogs. we got a great puppy and are forever thankful to Mike and Sally!

This is a wonderful family with amazing GSP's! You can tell from the moment you meet Team Simms that they are dedicated, loving and devoted GSP breeders. From the moment we all met, we became family.
What I wanted in a breeder, I got with Mr. and Mrs. Simms. GSP's that come from actual hunting dogs, who are trained and hunted by the breeder. They kept me up to date on how our Pup was coming along. Encouraged me to come see her as she grew. Showed me training techniques and best practices. Even now, two weeks after picking her up, they text me to see how she is doing and want me to send pics and videos.
Best experience I have ever had with a breeder.

We just got Rowdy from Mike and Sally and couldn’t be more happy with our choice. He’s a beautiful dog and lives up to his name. We were able to go their house and meet him about 5 weeks before we brought him home and we also met the dog mom and dad. The dogs are all very well taken care of and it is obvious the Sims are passionate about them and also passionate about getting these dogs to the right homes. I would highly recommend Rocky Creek Kennel if you’re looking for a German shorthaired pointer.

Mike and Sally are wonderful breeders! We were sent frequent updates on how our puppy was doing along with pictures! They are very passionate about what they do and the pups are very cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who was looking for a GSP!

Mike and Sally were a pleasure to work with. They updated us every week with photos and videos of our pup until we were able to pick her up. Our puppy was absolutely beautiful and very healthy. You could tell she was very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone! I already have some family members on the list for their next litter! Great experience!!

Mike and Sally are wonderful people and their breeding program is top notch. We just added another family member from their kennel. What else would you want to know about a kennel, the owners, and their pups? Repeat customers say it all. Their pups are quality at a reasonable price, and you will be pleased with the product. I have and will continue to recommend them to someone looking for a great dog from such outstanding people.

Sally and Mike are the most amazing GSP breeders, I would highly recommend them. It’s a family that loves all the dogs/puppies very knowledgeable, took time to answer all my questions. We picked up Willow April 27th and continue to keep in touch with them. My son got his GSP Chief close to 4 years ago from them while attending FSU. That’s when we fell in love and now he also has Willow’s sister.

I picked up Spice 1 day ago! This pup is my new best friend but I also picked up 2 more friends! I was referred to Rocky Creek by another buyer and Sally and Mike (my new friends) exceeded what he told me about Rocky Creek! I just had a play date with his 2 Rocky creek GSPs today!Mike and sally know how to make the experience of buying a puppy totally awesome! They welcomed me with open arms and we shared some stories and went over everything. I didn’t feel rushed at all and They answered any questions I had. During the waiting period They sent me pics weekly and kept me updated on the progress! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am Talking my sister into getting a GSP from them just so I can do it again! I highly and strongly urge anyone looking for a GSP to stop “looking” because you found the right place with Mike and Sally. Thanks again!

It is difficult to put into words how blessed we are to have met Rick and Sally at Rocky Creek. We got our first GSP puppy from them 4 years ago and it has completely changed our lives. We picked up a little boy (Chief) from them and he has been nothing, but the best since the day we got him. When we decided to get our second puppy we didn’t think twice before reaching back out to Rocky Creek. They provide exceptional service and exceptional puppies. Not only did we decide to get another, but so did my mother. Rocky Creek is nothing but the best. We are very pleased with our experience.

I recently picked up “Daisy Mae” from Mike and Sally and took her home to our family. Daisy is a very quick learner and is very good with our 5 year old boy. Daisy was remarkably fetching a toy within her first week. She comes now almost always and soon we will work on other commands. She loves to play around the house, running with the wife, and out walking in the woods with me. You can tell her parents are hunters and very smart dogs. Daisy definitely has the hunting instinct in her genes and I hope I can turn her into the bird dog that she can be. But she will definitely be our young sons companion and that is already evident.

Mike and Sally were wonderful to deal with throughout the whole process. They answered all questions we had and always sent us pictures and updates on daisy as she was growing. When I went and picked up daisy both Mike and Sally were very helpful with questions and even tips for training. I was able to meet all of her brother and sisters and her parents. Mike even showed out a little in showing me how they obeyed his hunting commands. I could tell he has worked with bird dogs for many years and they are a part of his life.

All of the kennels are in great shape and clean. If ever our family needs or wants another puppy there is no doubt Mike and Sally would be the only place I call. I you are looking for beautiful and smart GSP pups from a great bloodline look no further than Rocky Creek Kennels and preserve.

Thank You Mr. and Mrs. Sims for our awesome puppy.

We picked up "Jep" this past Friday, it is very obvious that Mike and Sally love their dogs and pups and are most accommodating to new owners. Hoping that this new pup will be the only GSP that I will need for a long time, but if I were to need another, they'd be the first ones I would call.
Submitted by: Aaron on Apr 27, 2019
Sally and Mike were great to work with. They were very knowledgeable about their puppies and easy to work with. Our family is very excited about our newest addition. You can tell Sally and Mike put a lot of time and effort into their puppies. It shows when the puppy gets to its new home. We look forward to seeing y'all in the future and telling others about your kennel.

We just got the cutest dog from them and couldn’t be happier. They are very helpful/knowledgeable and you can tell they truly love their dogs. Would recommend them and their pups to everyone. They are also very friendly and are willing to go above and beyond to make sure we are happy, which is truly amazing.

So my friend actually found RCK through Craigslist on a Friday and I called Mike on Monday to save a puppy for me. He had ten listed online and only four left by the time we spoke. I drove to Marianna and he introduced me to all the pups, that's when I picked out Sal. She's a great little dog and I couldn't ask for a better personality. Sals only 13.5 weeks old now, and she loves to be praised. She's really responsive and is already learning to sit, retrieve (if she doesn't get distracted), and she points here and there naturally. I'm excited to see her mature and what all she's capable in the woods. No doubt I would recommend a friend or purchase another puppy from Mike and Sally, they take extremely good care of all of their animals from what I saw.

We purchased our pup, Maggie May on May 11, 2018. She is a wonderful addition to our family at a little over 8 weeks. We want to thank Mike Sims, Breeder, for the excellent experience and the wonderful care they have for their animals. Maggie is a beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer that is already full of energy, spirit and bringing a lot of joy to our lives. Thank you again Mike and Sally!!!

In October of 2016 we purchased Clyde from Mr. Mike and Sally Sims. My father and I have always looked forward to hunting over a GSP and the dream finally came true. Mike and Sally were more than accommodating when it came to making arrangements to pick Clyde up and he was everything they said he would be. We wanted to write a review just based on the great experience we had while getting Clyde, but we waited to see how he trained and hunted first.
Fast forward to today we have trained Clyde to recall, woah, sit, stay, and retreive he is also trained to respond to a whistle and an e-collar among other commands related to hunting. They are clearly breeding a quality dog, his intelligence level is beyond what we were expecting it to be. His drive to hunt birds is astounding. We live in South Florida and frequently hunt Doves, Ducks, Snipe, and Quail. Clyde does exceptionally well with pointing and retrieving all of the bird species mentioned. Clyde has the most endurance I've seen out of any dog I have been afield with. On a cool day in the snipe fields he will hunt at a high pace for 3-4 hours, weighing in at 55 lbs he was bred to be a quality athlete; Aside from his high octane performance his shape, size, and muscular definition also proves this to be true.
Furthermore, throughout the training process Mr. Sims has been extremely helpful with any questions we have had regarding training pointers (we've only owned labs previously).
Over a year later and many hunts already in the books we could not be happier with the quality of the dogs Mr. and Mrs. Sims are producing. I would recommend anybody that was interested in purchasing a GSP to contact Mr. Mike and Sally Sims at Rocky Creek Kennels.

Well- we did it again! Last October Sadie joined our family (our first GSP) and what a year it has been! She has been such a blessing to our family and we wanted her to have a companion! We reached out to Mike and Sally again, and Bristol joined our family two weeks ago! This experience was just as good if not better than the first one. They kept us up-to-date when Sugar was expecting, sent pictures as soon as they were born, and updated us until we picked her up! Mike and Sally are wonderful people and we are glad to call them our friends. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a GSP! We live in Central Florida would make that 4 1/2 drive any day to get a puppy from them!

Mr. and Mrs. Sims made the experience of buying a puppy pleasurable as well as simple. They are both very friendly people and are easy to talk to. They are very informative about their puppies and make sure you have all the information that you would need to know about buying a puppy from them. They are always available if you need anything. The puppies turn out to be great hunting dogs especially if you start training them at an early age. I would 100% recommend Rocky Creek Kennels to any of my friends.

Where do I even begin? We had the BEST experience purchasing our GSP puppy from Mike and Sally. I contacted RC Kennels through email and the same day they returned my email and even sent me pictures of the pups they had available to my cell phone. Being that I am an ER nurse in Tallahassee with a very busy schedule, they did everything that they could to work around my schedule to come visit the puppies. We went the very next day because we knew that these were the breeders we wanted to purchase from. When we arrived, they brought us into their home as if we had known them our whole lives. Mike was kind enough to show us the parents of our puppy and what they could do. We were amazed at the intelligence and skill his dogs had, and were excited for the future that we have with our puppy. They are extremely honest, fair and trustworthy breeders! You will get everything that they guarantee you. Our puppy has beautiful markings, he has such a calm personality and has acclimated to our home with ease. Already we can tell he is very smart and LOVES to be praised. We are so very happy with our purchase and are looking forward to hunting and loving our puppy for his entire life. We hope to purchase from Mike and Sally in the future!

We had the best experience buying our 8 wk old GSP *Scout* from Mike and Sally. They answered any questions we had and sent us pictures as we asked for them when we were in the waiting stage. Our pup was (and still is) clean and healthy and plays great with our 4 year old. No doubt we would buy from them again.

My son bought a pup from Mr. Sims in July of this year 2016, he's been everything Mr. Sims represented him to be and then some. He is very intelligent and loves to retrieve, he also has great conformation and good coloring. Anyone considering a German Shorthaired Pointer for hunting purposes or a pet should call Mr. Sims and make an appointment to see his dogs and kennels, his facilities are clean and his dogs are amazing.
Thank You Mr. Sims

I loved every second of the time I was waiting on my GSP because it was so interactive, the good friendly experience from these people was like coming home and having your family greet you, from the time I found my puppy they were sending pictures and answering all of my questions, rocky creek kennel and preserve really knows what they are doing so if you are looking for a gsp look no further!

I am not sure that there would be enough space for me to tell you what an amazing experience we had with Mike and Sally at Rocky Creek Kennel and Preserve. My husband was doing some research on German Short Hairs and came across their website. He got in touch with Mike and Sally. After several phone calls and text messages we made the decision to get a puppy from them (we could already tell). They kept us up to date through Katie's pregnancy and called right after they were born. We drove from Minneola to Marianna the weekend after they were born. It was well worth the 4.5 hour drive! After spending an hour or so with Mike and Sally, we knew we had made the right decision! As their grandson would say, "you have the "grunt" puppy. Sally explained how she was sure our chosen puppy was getting everything she needed to compete with the larger pups. In the 7 weeks in between our first trip and picking up Sadie, they sent updates, pictures, and answered my ridiculous amount of text messages! We have only had her home with us 3 days but can tell she is very intelligent already. She has even pointed in our yard! We would HIGH RECOMMEND Mike and Sally to anyone that asked! I wouldn't be surprised if we get our Sadie a sister from them at some point!

We had the opportunity to hunt with Mike Sims and saw first hand what his dogs could do so well, which is find birds, hold a point, retrieve birds and follow commands. His kennel is very clean, the dogs and puppys are well cared for. Mike was very informative regarding handling and training GSPs. Anyone looking for high quality GSP puppys will be pleased with Rocky Creek Kennels and Mike Sims!

One month since I got my dog from Mike at Rocky Creek..We made a great choice even though it wasn't easy, we had to drive from Miami to go get our dog .Mike was real informative about the dogs and giving us helpful hint he took his time with us..Our dog Kaia is great (KaiaGSP on Instagram) even at 9wks you can spot her little hunting traits , Like standing there watching the duck across the street not moving. I am very happy that we went to go get Kaia she looks and act like she will be a great GSP Thanks Mike

I had the best experience with this breeder. Once I picked out my beautiful female GSP. This breeder sent pics weekly and keep me up to date on my pup. He went above and beyond. I will highly recommend this breeder to my friends. And will be doing business with them again. My pup Lucy is super smart. She picks up stuff right away. I was truly honored to do business with such a fine outstanding Gentleman.

Pretty dogs are a dime a dozen, but if you are looking for a dog that will hunt, you want to go to Rocky Creek! Mikes dogs are hunted and trained throughout the year, and that time spent in the field shows up in the pups in ways that we are unable to teach them. We couldn't be happier with our puppy, he must have been born housebroke, and obedience training has been a breeze so far!

I have had the pleasure to hunt with Mike many times and his dogs are amazing. Seeing the quality of his dogs I knew I had to have one of his puppies and had the pleasure of purchasing one. The puppies have amazing drive and are extremely smart. If you are in the market for a great gun dog please call Mike, I would highly recommend him to anyone.

We got our GSP from Mike 2 1/2 years ago, and are very glad that we did! He has turned out to be the best dog I have ever owned, in regards to hunting drive, temperament and just all around family dog! I have two boys that are 9 and 10 , and I couldn't ask for a better dog with my kids. He is also a great watch dog too. He loves to be in the field hunting with me, but is also very satisfied and happy just hanging out at the house with the family. In my opinion, there is no more versatile breed, and in this area no other breeder that is comparable to Mike. I'm looking forward to adding another dog from him to our family soon! You can't go wrong with a dog from Mike Sims.

Really happy with the puppy we purchased from Mike and his wife. They are very friendly and welcoming and they take great care of the dogs. I will be referring my friends and family to them for future purchases!!!!

We are so happy with our puppy from Mr. and Mrs. Sims!! They take such good care of the dogs and are so knowledgeable and helpful about training. They are also great about keeping you updated with your future dog with pictures and texts, and after we adopted our puppy, they followed up to check in on us. I highly suggest adopting a puppy from this breeder! I've recommended them to all my friends and family.

My husband and I purchased a puppy from Mr. Sims in June for our 5 year old son. She immediately stole the hearts of our family and has been a complete joy. She is extremely smart and in only a few weeks is completely potty trained. Our puppy was very well socialized by Mr. Sims. I could tell right away that he breeds German Shorthaired pointers because of his love for the breed. We are seriously thinking about adding another puppy from Rocky Creek Kennel to our household next spring.

Our GSP from Rocky Creek is super. He is smart, gentle, learning so fast is unreal. Adapted to the grandkids right away. Mike Sims is a very good source of information on these dogs and how to train them. His kennel is perfect for the hunting dogs-he was very kind and very helpful when we traveled to get the puppy. Since then he has answered questions and given advice that is right on target. We are now hoping for another puppy from his litters. Highly recommend him and his dogs. Parents are present which is great too.

Picked up our puppy yesterday at Rocky Creek Kennel-WOW!! Met Mike, big clean kennels, happy dogs, great setup. We spent time with the father who is phenomenal(gotta see to believe-pictures don't tell it all), gentle and friendly. Same for mom-who is beautiful and super mother. Mike kindly babysat for us so we could get some dog supplies and a meal in town-then he went over every detail and answered all our questions(lots of them)-he KNOWS DOGS. He knows hunting as well as training and puppy care. Listen to him! Glad we did. The puppy is another WOW!! He even pointed a couple of times already-he is calm, serious, loving, BEAUTIFUL and easy to teach. He walked about 1/4 mile this a.m. and enjoyed it as much as we did-very well acclimated, and sleeping well too. All night, not a sound from him-ready to go this a.m. Our first GSP-good times ahead.
So everything Mike told us was spot on-we are even thinking a second dog from him-no one else.
Mike has offered any help we may need and to call him for any info raising and training our puppy. We aren't new to hunting dogs, but always ready to listen to a pro like Mike.

My wife and I discussed getting a puppy for several months before going to rocky creek kennels. My cousin purchased a dog from there and we fell in love with him. When we got to the kennel I immediately gravitated towards one of the male puppies I had seen in pictures Mr. Mike had sent. My wife and daughters however found a female that they really loved! Needless to say we ended up coming home with two puppies! We could not be happier with our decision to make our family bigger with puppies from this kennel. Mr. and Mrs. Sims are some of the nicest down to earth people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. They treated us like family. Mr. Sims has been more than accommodating with any questions I've had and has been great to give advice with training. The puppies are wonderful. My two daughters play with them non stop and thanks to the "social integration" (grand-kids) the puppies get while at the kennel they are very patient and gentle with my daughters. All in all the experience we had with rocky creek kennels and the Sims' family was getting to meet some wonderful people and adding two amazing dogs to our family. The dogs are beautiful! We get compliments daily on how pretty our puppies are! When we took them to our vet he was amazed at what great looking GSP's these puppies are and was very impressed with everything about them. They have a true hunter's instinct, great natural posture, and point at everything they notice! We wish the Sims God's blessing in all that they do!

My family and I could not be happier with our GSP puppy from Rocky Creek Kennel. We have gotten so many compliments on his beautiful markings and his demeanor. But the best compliments came from the vet on how healthy and what great care had been given to him when we got him. I recommend Rocky Creek Kennel to anyone looking for a great GSP.
