Dankar Kennels

Dankar Kennels is a small family kennel located in Gleason, Wisconsin. Our kennels have heated indoor kennels for the dogs' comfort and security with a large fenced outdoor play area.  Indoor areas allow training to continue in inclement weather and during the long winter months.  Dan has been an avid outdoorsman and hunter his entire life with a passion for grouse hunting and GSPs.  Kara was raised in a hunting home that included GSPs and a litter or two of puppies.  Dan and Kara are both members of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association, actively participating in several local NAVHDA chapters.  Kara and Dan have both developed a talent for training and testing Versatile gun dogs.

At Dankar Kennels our breeding program strives to produce healthy, versatile-bred future gun dogs and valued family members. We follow the time-tested principle of "breeding the best to the best" of versatile GSPs. Dogs selected for breeding have proven their natural abilities and talents both in the field and in the NAVHDA system of versatile dog testing. Our breeding dogs conform to the German Shorthaired Pointer breed standard (AKC and IABCA) while possessing the traits and characteristics we believe should be carried forward in the German Shorthaired Pointer breed. Dankar GSP puppies will possess the drive and desire to produce game for the gun along with the natural instincts to point, retrieve, and back. These qualities, coupled with a strong work ethic and stable disposition, will produce puppies that are highly trainable, eager to learn, and willing to please. These traits and natural instincts ensure our puppies will excel in the field, be successful in any training or testing program, and undoubtedly become cherished members of your family.
