      Colonial Farms German Shorthaired Pointers

Princess and Puppies          April 2003
The German Shorthaired Pointer
The German Shorthaired Pointer was developed in Germany during the 1800s to be an "all-purpose" dog. They are very versatile dogs that can not only hunt, point, retrieve and track, but are great family dogs, too! Their scenting ability to locate and point game as well as their willingness to retrieve fur or feather, on land or in water, is a natural skill that has been bred into them for many generations! Physically, their short hair and tail are less maintenance daily for both the homeowner and the hunter after a day in field. They have webbed feet and therefore are naturally good swimmers, as well.

Our Puppies

We love, hunt, guide, train and breed German Shorthaired Pointers. We breed for great temperament, beautiful dogs and fantastic hunting abilities. We are very thankful that we are able to enjoy our German Shorthaired Pointers on our family-owned 100 acres in Chelsea, Michigan. We're also excited about the GRAND OPENING in 2005 of our NEW "Colonial Farms Gamebird Preserve."   We offer a YEAR-ROUND dog training area, as well as field training lessons for your hunting dogs. We have various gamebirds that are available for your dog training needs, too. For further information about our preserve, dog-training area, gamebirds or field training lessons, please see "Preserve/Training."

Our dogs make wonderful pets ... they want to be with YOU! All of our dogs are "FANTASTIC" Upland Bird Hunters and their bloodlines contain many Field Champions, Show Champions, Dual Champions and National Champions. Many of our dog's lineage traces back to the original famous German and Danish Imports. Our current stud dog, Ibbi, is a Great-Grandson of the FAMOUS 5-times National Champion"HEIDE'S MIGHTY CITY SLICKER." (One of our nation's TOP WINNING National Champion German Shorthaired Pointers!)

Our puppies are born in the house and socialized within the family with children. We know them "each" individually and can help you find that PERFECT puppy that fits YOUR needs, whether it is for hunting, your jogging partner, your pet's companion, or that GREAT family pet!

All of our puppies have AKC purebred registrations, current vaccinations, worming, tails docked, dewclaws removed and are sent home with a written Health Guarantee, Puppy Care Sheet and Welcome Kit loaded with helpful information. We strongly recommend spaying and neutering.

Puppy Information

Below is Rose and Champ's Litter that was born in November 2003. All puppies are born deaf and blind and do not open their eyes or start to walk until they are almost 2 weeks old! As sporting dogs, their tails are docked and their dewclaws removed at 3 days old, to prevent injuries in the field and brush. Notice the beautiful solid liver (brown) heads and variations in their markings at birth. Their patches will remain the same from birth, but each puppy will be unique as they mature. Please browse through our mature puppy's photos in our "Photo Album" to give you an idea of how these variations will look at maturity.
   November 2003 Litter (Rose and Champ)

GSP puppies are born white and patched liver, but soon the white areas will fill in with various shades of "ticking" (a pretty speckled design). Some ticking will be lighter and some darker as they grow. Notice our July 2004 litter below at only 4 weeks old, the ticking is evident in various shades. You can visit our "Photo Album" on the left to see how the shades of ticking will differ at maturity. They are eating dry dog food by 4 weeks of age as they are weaned from their mother. We put different color collars on them as soon as they are able to stand up, so that we can identify them easier.  We pay close attention to them daily as we learn their distinct personality differences, which are already forming by 4 weeks. We will know that "SPECIAL ONE" that you are looking for!
   July 2004 Litter (Princess and Champ)
  "Aspen" and "Hershey" July 2005 Litter (Rose/ Ibbi)
Our puppies are very well socialized. We have 2 sons and their friends who look forward to puppy time at our home, almost as much as we do. Family, Friends, and neighbors are all happy to come by and visit and play with the puppies. Our puppies have great calm personalities and make wonderful housedogs.  We attribute this not only to our breeding program, but also to all of all the attention they receive as puppies in our home. Shown above is our son, Christopher, with the 2 females from our July 2005 litter. The Dam and Sire were Rose and Ibbi.

"Hershey" July 2005 Litter (Rose and Ibbi) Our puppies have natural hunting instincts bred into them and are pointing pheasant wings ... before 8 weeks of age! Make sure we show you this, when you come to pick up YOUR puppy ... and don't forget to bring the camera, as we are sure you will want a photo of this memorable event! Above is Hershey POINTING and HOLDING until her owner says to "Get it!" ... and at only 9 weeks old! She was from Ibbi's first sired litter in July 2005. Ibbi (pronounced EEBEE) is our new field-champion bred stud dog. The Dam was Rose ... and unfortunately it was her FINAL litter. We look forward to many more beautiful puppies from Ibbi and our other Lady German Shorthaired Pointers.






2008 Litters Planned We plan to have ONLY "2" litters in 2008 by our Field Champion Bred Sire/Stud, Ibbi Mina and Ibbi (REPEAT BREEDING) Heide and Ibbi (FIRST TIME BREEDING) We are NOW accepting COMPLETELY REFUNDABLE deposits on a FIRST come FIRST pick policy. Act "NOW" if you would like one of our puppies in 2008 . Females - $850 Males - $800


Our Future Litters Many people have asked to be notified when we are expecting another litter. The timing may not be right this time around, or you may want a gender that we no longer have ... whatever the reason, we can let you know when we are expecting future litters. We will take deposits in the order they are received with first pick going to the first deposit and so on. You can leave your deposit ON HOLD to ensure a better chance with a higher pick in one of our future litters. The deposit date is your SENORITY DATE for all future litters. The deposits are COMPLETELY REFUNDABLE ... so it is a WIN-WIN situation for you! If you would like to be added to our contact list, please email us:ColonialFarmsGSP@aol.com and put FUTURE LITTER LIST in the SUBJECT LINE. Please tell us where you found us. Thanks. We plan to have at least one litter per year.
