I'm the breeder behind Honor German Shorthaired Pointers located in Mesa, AZ. We strive to bridge the gap between "show" and "field", breeding dogs that can be successful in any venue. Our dogs have titles and placements in: conformation, agility, obedience/Rally, dock diving, hunting/field trials, coursing/FastCAT, and scent work.
About Ellen
I come from a family that bred 100 lb Kuvasz, but when it came time for me to choose my own breed I wanted something smaller, and more people-oriented. I knew I was looking for a dog who I could do anything with but my goal was to be able to compete in agility. The versatility and personality of the GSP caught my eye and since then I have been hooked.
What makes Ellen’s program special
I do not believe that our dogs can only do one thing. The GSP was created to be versatile, and that is what we strive for. Our dogs should be structurally sound, healthy, level-headed, and able to succeed in any environment they are put in. Our dogs have been show dogs, hunting dogs, obedience dogs, agility dogs, service dogs, and most importantly family dogs.
Ellen is a member of 2 clubs
German Shorthaired Pointer Club of Colorado, German Shorthaired Pointer Club of America

Our puppies are raised using the "Puppy Culture" method. I attended a seminar with Jane Messineo Lindquist in 2016 before breeding my first litter and have continued to attend her virtual seminars for the most up-to-date information. They are socialized safely with other people and dogs. Puppies are exposed to pigeons or quail prior to going home. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Various sounds, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, "No" Biting or Chewing, Clicker Training, Leash Walking, Crate Training, and Potty Training.
All puppies are vet-checked and receive initial vaccinations and deworming prior to heading home.
We send our puppies home with Toys, Basic obedience & manners, Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Food & treats, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Registration, Vet records, and Microchip.
