The kennel

Raised for the field
and for home.

Chase keeps German Shorthaired Pointers in Houston, Texas, as hunting dogs and family companions.

Tito, a liver and white German Shorthaired Pointer, lies on a wood floor indoors with his head beside a worn orange tennis ball. He wears a brown collar, and his white front paws are stretched forward. — Kennel moment

In Houston

Top Shelf Kennels is based in Houston, Texas. Families who want to know more about the dogs, or about a puppy, can call or text (346) 345-9632, or message the kennel on Facebook.

The breed

The German Shorthaired Pointer is a versatile pointing breed. In the field, these dogs hunt birds. At home, they are close companions. Top Shelf raises dogs with both lives in mind.

The portraits

The photographs on this page and on Kennel moments show dogs from this kennel: Tito, resting with a tennis ball and as a puppy on a chair; Tila, at home and out on errands; and Big Earl, napping with Tila. They are kennel moments. They stay separate from puppy placement, and they are not offered here as current sires or dams.

A question for the kennel

A litter from Migo and Skye is expected in mid-November 2026. That timing is an expectation, not a guaranteed date. Call, text, or write on the Facebook page about availability, pricing, and pickup. The portraits beside these words are of Tito. They are not photographs of Migo or Skye.
