Breeding Philosophy

Breeding Philosophy

At Cuttin Coveys Kennels, our breeding program is built around one purpose: to advance the German Shorthaired Pointer through proven genetics, field ability, and competitive performance. We don’t breed for trends or convenience—we breed for dogs that can run, handle, and win at a high level.

Every pairing is intentional. We select breeding stock based on performance in the field, mental and physical soundness, bird drive, style, and the ability to compete under horseback trial standards. Titles, wild bird experience, conformation, and proven lineage all factor into our decisions.

Raising puppies starts long before whelping. We prioritize the health and conditioning of our females, manage pregnancies with care, and raise pups in an environment that promotes early development, confidence, and athleticism. From birth to placement, our goal is to produce pups with the genetics, structure, and instinct to succeed—whether their future is horseback trials, hunting, or breeding.

We stand behind the dogs we produce and are committed to supporting owners who demand more than an average companion. Whether you're an experienced handler or stepping into field trials for the first time, we’re here to ensure both you and your dog have the tools, knowledge, and long-term support to excel.

This program isn’t built on volume—it’s built on purpose, performance, and the future of the breed.

At CCK, we do have a Puppy Contract. If you are interested in a future litter, a deposit saves your spot in line, and it is very wise to plan by placing your deposit now. New pairings/litters will be posted when they happen. 

Selecting the right breeder for you and your family is very important. New deposits may be fulfilled within four months or may take over a year, depending on your needs. Timing will depend on what you are looking for, as we match individuals to the right litter, and priority is given based on the date of deposit.

Our puppies are guaranteed for 24 months for hips, eyes, and cardiac health. At 8 weeks of age, males and females are $1,500 plus tax. A $300 deposit will hold your spot in line for a pup, and the deposit goes toward the purchase price. Puppy price at the time of deposit is good for up to one year, or until the first matching puppy is available, whichever is greater. All puppies are sold with AKC Limited Registration (this limits breeding rights/registration of offspring).

*Breeding rights will be granted for approved breedings. We do this to ensure the CCK standard and to do our part in improving the breed.
