| IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BIRD DOG! |
| DBK - Our Breeding Policy |
We believe in selective breeding and only intend
on having 2-3 litters per year and training them for
sale as started gun dogs ready to hit the fields. We
take great pride in the time and effort put into each
dog. We believe firmly in the natural foundation of
the Elhew Pointer and refining our dogs to have
that very natural ability, intelligence and beauty. If
you can't bring something complimentary to the
gene pool - then don't dip your toe in it! That is
what we have been doing for years now- being
very choosy, watching and studying our dogs to
determine who showcases those superb natural
hunting abilities AND good looks.
We take the responsibility of breeding very
seriously and we will never breed "junk dogs". We
do not breed "because of papers" - we breed in
addition to them. Our dogs have to prove
themselves in the field before they are ever
breed-worthy. We aim for superior quality. Check
out each dog's pedigree on our DBK Pointers page
and see for yourself --- WE'VE GOT THE BIG
DOGS!

| We are a small North Georgia kennel that raises and trains well-bred English Pointers who flaunt intelligence and style. As we move along, you will get to know the great hunters we house here. We do not claim to be the home of any national champs but we will produce some outstanding bird dogs with dogs that not only carry proven excellence in their pedigrees but in the fields as well. So, this is the place for us to share our love of the English Pointer breed and what we are doing here at DIRT-BROKE KENNELS. We hope that we can generate interest in the Pointer breed and in upland bird hunting. Our goal isn't about producing champion Field Trial Dogs-though we will be competing- we want to produce better all-around bird dogs. Dogs that display the brains, the looks, the nose and the heart to load up and pin down birds whenever you're ready to go. Please check with us frequently as there will be regular updates and news as we gain momentum. Please explore our entire site including the Dirt-Broke Pointers page that showcases our great dogs and the Outdoor Gallery. Also, Our Links page that is full of useful information and fun. If you have questions/comments feel free to Contact Us. |
Our Vision
 |
 |
For us, DIRT-BROKE KENNELS has been years in the making. We have thought about, planned, discussed, studied, and hand picked dogs that have what it is that
makes a great bird dog. That is why we decided to have a small-scale breeding program. We believe less is more and that will allow us to dedicate much more
time to each pup born at our kennel.
It is our firm belief that if you take a puppy that has a proven bloodline, coupled with socialization /obedience training, and you work their natural ability you will
have an excellent Pointer. We have proven this theory with several dogs standing at DBK. A well socialized pup makes for a better dog (bird dog or not). This is
why we plan to sell pups after they have been started - to ensure they leave our kennel headed down the path of being a superior gun dog.

Have you ever watched a bird dog work? It really is a thing of beauty to actually see the genetics in motion. There are many breeds of "bird dogs" but when you
hear those words, English Pointers spring to mind. Both Kelly and myself grew up with a love of Pointers. They are not only good hunters but they are excellent
companions that boast intelligence. There is one more key factor to a great bird dog, that dog has to have heart. That is not something you can train a dog to
have. They either have it or they don't - the dog has to want to go that extra distance and never let up. That's why Pointers are an extraordinary breed- they want
to give it every ounce they have. Our immense appreciation of the Pointer is in what they are bred to do - hunt birds AND look good doing it. So, you won't find
any "show dogs" here-that's not what we're about- but you will find dogs that love what they do and our family kennel that loves our Pointers.
