Welcome!
Thunder goes BOOM at Heritage
|
AKA BOOM Whelp Date: Aug 17, 2023 This boy is absolutely awesome! He is more of my personal dog. He is out of my Reloaded bloodline, a wonderful complement to my original and very first ever GSP, Brother. I produced a beautiful boy named Thunder out of Brother, and out of Thunder I produced BOOM. I am so lucky to still have Brother’s blood running through my breeding program. We are very proud of our heritage. BOOM is another machine in the field and a natural retriever. He recently had a birthday, making him available for our breeding program. We are excited to have this beautiful black stud! |

Cowboy Up Heritage

AKA Cowboy Whelp Date: April 16, 2022 Cowboy is an exceptional young male with a remarkable temperament. He is playful, social, and gets along well with all the other dogs. His obedience comes naturally and without difficulty, making him a pleasure to work with. He demonstrates a strong interest in birds and carries with a soft mouth, an important quality in the field. His disposition is an ideal complement to my Reloaded girls, and I anticipate that he will make a valuable contribution to our program. In the near future, I look forward to many great things from Cowboy. |

Our Beloved Brother
DOB: 7/23/2005 - 06/28/2019
We are sorry to have to say that our beloved Brother is no longer with us. We will absolutely miss and remember this noble dog.
Celeste, my daughter, and I never had siblings. So it was quickly decided after picking him up at six weeks old to bring him home, that his name would be just that. This little guy was so loving and fearless that you couldn't help but love him. His hunting drive was absolutely 100% natural with retrieving on land and water. Visitors were always met with a stick or a toy of some kind hoping to entice them to throw it. I wish I had more photos of all the memories.
He never suffered any diseases or hereditary health issues. He simply lived a healthy life with his body only receiving natural wear and tear. This eventually forced him to slow down. Just about a month ago, a good friend of ours Kurt played fetch with Brother. Much slower of course but you could see Brother's excitement retrieving nonetheless. Besides the wear and tear on his body, his sense of hearing was the only real issue Brother had. He had adapted to strictly receiving commands by hand signals.
About a week ago, Brother suffered a serious accident. It was unfortunately to much for his worn body to bear. We had to make the best decision for our Brother.
With the news of Brother's passing, a few people have exclaimed "He was so young!" I recently saw a post that perfectly explains Brother's story. The response on the post was, "it's not the years, it's the mileage." So true!
On Brother's last day, the family was fortunate to get together and share all the love we could with Brother. He was spoiled to the best of our abilities. My daughter even brought him a steak dinner, Brother's favorite!
I would like to express my gratitude for my Brother, even now that he has passed, for his wonderful presence he made in me and my family's life. Brother was the beginning and we now have a German Shorthaired Pointer breeding program because of him.

Brother has been our boy since he was 6 weeks old and is now retired. Man, what a great dog he has been! We couldn't have asked for a better dog. If you have seen a new litter of GSP puppies, you know how cute they all are and it becomes very hard to choose one. You end up looking for signs to help you make the decision. Brother definitely displayed those signs. He learned very quickly and showed natural hunting and retrieving skills. He loves water in summer or winter as well. We have actually reached up to 15 in. of snow and that still hasn't stopped Brother from retrieving in water. Together, we have made lots of memories and that's what its all about.
