Bristol vom Kürbis Haken has been bred to Batch vom Flussdrehen and is confirmed pregnant with our upcoming litter. If all goes as planned we expect puppies to arrive December 2024.

Bristol is an all around delightful dog to be around. She is a medium sized high drive female who excels in every discipline but is especially talented in the field and forest chasing birds. She has tons of point and extraordinary levels of caution and manners. She handles ruffed grouse like no other Deutsch-Drahthaar I’ve ever been around. An extremely cooperative dog, Bristol was trained and tested by my wife Jenna and completed her VGP and JGHV testing career at just 17 months old.

Bristol’s first litter (E vom Kürbis Haken) produced 12 very talented hunting dogs who have made us very proud over the last two years. 10 of the 12 dogs tested through the JGHV system with many many 11’s and 12’s awards along the way and Einz vom Kürbis winning the 2024 Armbruster in Mankota, MN. Einz scored a perfect 199 HZP and was awarded Best Water Dog and Best Field Dog for the event. With their HZP’s behind them, these dogs are hunting hard this year all across the country from Montana to Alabama to Pennsylvania.

Batch is a powerful schwarzshimmel male who resides in North Carolina. Batch’s owner Jason guides duck hunts on the coast where Batch takes his job very seriously. Batch is quiet in the blind, is a very strong pointer, has a great nose and a fantastic off-switch when he’s not hunting. Potentially one of the most impressive things about Batch and Jason is that successfully completed all three JGHV tests together without ever attending a training day. That is unheard of especially for a first time handler! Zooming out, we consider the B litter vom Flussdrehen to be a very nice group as a whole so we are excited for what Batch brings to the genetic table.

After the success of Bristol’s first litter there has been a lot of excitement and anticipation surrounding our breeding plans for her in our kennel. At this time we are not accepting any additional deposits for this litter but may have availability after pups are born depending on final headcount and male/female splits. Please reach out if you’re interested.
