STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
At Upland Kennel we live by the code, produce puppies only to improve the breed.
Because I believe that with all my heart, two facts come to light. First, we rarely do repeat breedings as we are trying to improve the breed, not simply sell pups and second, since I'm primarily a trainer, I don't produce a lot of litters. On average, we have two litters every year and perhaps another couple out of our stock I recommend.
BREEDING OBJECTIVES
I cut my teeth with German Shorthaired Pointers in horseback field trialing. While I enjoyed this format immensely and had a good measure of success with it, I came to realize these dogs were not what I was looking to produce.
When I was introduced to the National Shoot to Retrieve Association (NSTRA) field trial format I knew I could have my cake and eat it to. This trial's format which emphasizes above all else dogs with an excellent sense of smell and bidability allowed me to produce the type of dog that would translate as excellent hunters and still offer me a measuring tool by which I could best evaluate where I was going with my breedings.
Over the last few years we have produced four NSTRA champions of our own and have had five others purchased as pups by clients also champion in this format. Countless others have championship points. Considering the fact that some 90% of the pups we sell are used exclusively for hunting, we are proud of our record to date.
When I breed a litter of pups, I do it to produce adult dogs which, in order of importance, have excellent noses, are highly biddable, strong work ethic, well styled, and have the best possible conformation. As NSTRA is strictly a walking stake, needless to say 'horizon busters' are not what I am looking to produce. If you are looking for a family oriented (we have four Shorthairs as house dogs), biddable dog which will hunt for you and is well put together, give us a call.

STARTED AND TRAINED DOGS
I frequently have started and fully trained dogs available. The best time to look is in the late summer as our inventory is considerably reduced by the end of the bird season.
All dogs sold from this group come with a 30 day test period. During this time a client can return the dog for a full refund if it doesn't work out. Client is responsible for all shipping charges as well as any airport pickup and drop off charges.

| I have owned this fully
trained female GSP since she was seven weeks old. She is one of the
best foothandling, wild bird dogs I have every seen. Sarah is a close
working dog who loves to please. She is broke to flush and is staunch
on point. Sarah has been hunted on wild pheasant, Sharptail Grouse and
Hungarian Partridge since she was 9 months old. She handles like a
dream, honors point consistently and has been force broke to retrieve.
This is a dog a person could take home and the next day turn out in the
fields to hunt and have instant success. Her pedigree can be viewed on this website by clicking on the 'pedigrees' page. The only reason I have elected to sell this dog is she doesn't take when bred and I must have females that can produce litters on schedule. It is hard to let this one go. She is at ease in the kennels as well as the house (she has been a house dog but spends frequent, extended periods in the kennels). I give new owners a 30 day guarantee on all started and trained dogs I sell. The exception is during bird season (1 September - 28 February) where I charge 10% of the sale price if the dog is returned) There aren't a lot of fully trained dogs on the market these days. This is a chance to own one. Her price is firm at $3500.00.
