Approximately 14 years ago, after searching countless German Shorthair breeder’s, we chose to go with Mark and Cheryl owners of Idaho Hunting dogs. We chose them because their investment in breeding was deeper then making a buck, we felt a genuine love and passion for the dogs they bred. This was before the days of Facebook and the live feeds. But Cheryl and Mark kept us up to date, answered all questions and sent pictures as often as they could. Once our little one, Bretta was born, they continued to provide info on what to expect and how to blend Bretta into out family. Rather then flying out for our fur baby we chose to make the day drive because we had to meet these remarkable people. Bretta was an amazing dog. She was pointing and retrieving by six months. Followed by year’s of living and breathing to hunt. She also provided a missing piece to our family. Unfortunately, Bretta has since passed on. It was an easy decision as to where we would get our next Shorthair. We could have chose the next town just 30 minutes away to get our next Shorthair but we were excited to make the trip to again see these remarkable people. This July will be our 2nd year with our fur baby Bella. She is gorgeous, black and white ticked. She loves our kids and watches birds from our bed with great anticipation. Any questions we have Cheryl promptly answers. As long as she is breeding Shorthairs, we will always without a second thought, only purchase this great breed from Idaho Hunting dogs. Thank you for years of memories and years of love with our fur babies.
