"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me"
John 10:27

At The Proper Pointer Co., we’ve built our reputation on a simple promise: raising and caring for dogs as if they were our own. Our focus is on breeding healthy, well-balanced German Shorthaired Pointers, offering thoughtful training programs, and providing a safe, welcoming place for dogs to board.

From the way we socialize our puppies to the personalized attention we give every dog in our care, our goal is to create lasting bonds between people and their dogs while building a community that shares our values.
Behavior
As The Proper Pointer Co. continues to grow, we now offer structured obedience training programs for dogs of all ages.
These programs focus on improving communication between dog and handler, building structure in the home, and developing reliable behavior in real-world environments.
Training covers practical obedience, leash manners, household behavior, and everyday consistency. Whether working with a puppy, adolescent dog, or adult dog, the goal is to create a solid foundation for long-term success.
With over a decade of experience developing German Shorthaired Pointers, we have found that dogs learn best through clear communication, structure, and consistency.
Our training programs are built around that principle, with a focus on real-world reliability.
Breeding
At The Proper Pointer Co., our story begins with two extraordinary dogs—Boone and Copper. They were our first German Shorthaired Pointers and quickly became the heart of our family. Intelligent, affectionate, and incredible bird dogs, Boone and Copper was everything we dreamed of and more. What started as a love for their beauty and spirit soon grew into a lifelong dedication to the breed itself. Their influence continues to shape our mission today: to raise healthy, balanced, and loving German Shorthaired Pointers that enrich both home and field life.
Previous Puppies
At The Proper Pointer Co., every litter we’ve bred reflects our dedication to excellence, care, and purpose. Our previous puppies are a testament to the high standards we uphold in breeding—healthy, well-balanced, intelligent German Shorthaired Pointers with the temperament and drive true to the breed. Our gallery of pictures showcases not only the beauty of our dogs but the heart behind our program—these are the results of thoughtful breeding, hands-on care, and a genuine passion for producing exceptional companions and hunting partners.
