I have been a breeder of German Shorthaired Pointers since 1976.  Breeding and competing with my dogs has been a passion, not a business.  Each litter is carefully planned with a continuing goal of excellence and improvement.  I breed for a true dual purpose dog that excels in field instincts, temperament, confirmation, soundness, and above all, that special "something unknown" that makes a good dog great.

When asked what lines I have I can only say "Indian Hill".  A quarter of a century of selective line breeding with both American and German bloodlines has created a distinct and individual line.  Given the opportunity Indian Hill German Shorthairs are consistently close working dogs that point, and retrieve naturally on both land and water. They are within correct boundaries for the standard, eager to please, and "biddable".

From 1989 to 1998 I was owner/operator of a 900 acre hunting preserve in Western Minnesota.  What a proving and playground for a field dog!  Most of my breeding stock was at one time a guide dog on the preserve.  As well as guiding for a wide variety of hunters they have also guided for youth groups such as the 4-H shooting project , and for handicapped persons, where a solid temperament and a steady point is of the utmost importance.  While closing the preserve was a difficult decision, I now have the opportunity to own my weekends to compete, hunt, and play with my dogs.

I currently live on a 30 acre hobby farm where my partner Steve and I combine forces to total over 50 years of raising, loving, and hunting behind our dogs.  One or the other of us is a member of he German Shorthair Club of America, the German Shorthair Club of Minnesota, the Minnesota Purebred Dog Breeder Association, the English Springer Spaniel Club of America, as well as several other breed and hunting or conservation organizations.  We have also had the pleasure of judging hunt tests, lisenced All Age field trials, 4-H shows at local and state level, and conducted many training seminars.  We have participated at state, national and Canadian competitions in confirmation, field trials, hunting tests, obedience, and agility competitions, and our dogs have titled in all of these areas.

All of our dogs live in the home as active family members.  They are handled and socialized from birth.  They are raised with children, and other pets.  Each one receives the quality time one on one with people they need to develop into easily trained, happy companions.
