Hunting dogs and family dogs.

We raise German Shorthaired Pointers in Houston, Texas, to hunt and to be part of the family.

Shorthairs are pointing dogs, made to hunt birds. At home they want to be right next to their people. We raise ours for both.

Migo × Skye
Mid-November 2026

We’re expecting a litter from Migo and Skye in mid-November 2026. That’s our best estimate, not a guaranteed date, and it isn’t a pickup day.

Puppies go home at 8 weeks or older. For availability and pricing, message us on Facebook.

You’ll find Migo and Skye on the Meet the Kennel page. The other dog photos on this site are not photographs of Migo or Skye.
