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.

| From the Griz X Sequel breeding listed above, I will be holding onto all pups until they are six months of age. At that time I will select one and sell the rest. They can be sold by pre-arrangement. Anyone interested in purchasing one of these pups which will be as well started as a six month old pup can be, can contact me for details. |

PADRIG This two year old, neutered male is a dog produced from my breeding program. The owner returned him recently because he took a job which precluded his having a dog. Padrig is well socialized, housebroke, has lived in a young family setting, and has an excellent disposition. However, the first owners did very little work with him and I'm in the process of making up for lost time right now with yard training which will be followed by birdwork. I will sell him for a very reasonable price immediately or after his training is done later this summer. With this dog my primary objective is to get him into a good home. SOLD

HUENENBRINK'S MARSHALL MATT DILLON Matt was born was born 23 February 2011. He is pictured here at four months of age. This male pup is out of my female RT and my stud Guenther (see below picture). Matt, while perfectly at home in the field, is shy around people who are new to him. This pup would be best suited to a family setting or to an individual who would spend a lot of one-on-one time with him. He is a very attractive young dog and a devoted lover. SOLD |

GUENTHER H Guenther is a two year old, intact male. I purchased this dog a year ago. It was my intention to keep him as a stud, but due to a personal injury, and a desire to trim down the number of dogs I keep, I've elected to sell him. He has excellent confirmation and absolutely loves the attention of people. He has been a kennel dog since he was a pup, but I believe with some attention he would make a house dog if that was the owner's desire. He is in training this summer. I would sell him as is, or he could be purchased now for pickup when his training is done. SOLD |
