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
|
|
GUNNER |
This is a one year old male. The current owner, who has had this dog since he was a young pup, reluctantly has to part with him for reasons which have nothing to do with the dog. It's because he hasn't had the time to work with Gunner that he thought it best to sell him. The dog will reside with the owner till late July when I take ownership. However, the dog can be purchased as is right now. When I take ownership of Gunner I will be running him through a complete training program. He will be for sale at any time and the price will be set dependent on his level of training at that time. If a person wants to do all the training he can be purchased now. If a person wants to purchase Gunner after I've worked him through my program that can be arranged now as well. I have done most of the training on Gunner's half sister, a field champion, and when Gunner became available I jumped at the chance to have him. If you are interested you can call or email me and I will provide as much information as possible, or give you the name and phone number of the current owner. |
