Preservation.
Based in Nikiski, Alaska, LakeHaus Kennels is dedicated to preserving the hallmark qualities of the German Shorthaired Pointer while continually improving the traits that make them exceptional hunting partners and cherished family companions. We emphasize temperament, trainability, intelligence, and a natural off switch—qualities that allow our dogs to excel in the field while also being integral members of their families.
Our dogs are first and foremost beloved household pets who also enjoy meaningful “careers” in conformation, obedience, rally, hunting, tracking, and more. They are not kennel dogs; when not training or competing, they can be found curled up on the couch alongside our family. Puppies are raised indoors in our warm, busy home, ensuring they grow up confident, social, and ready for their next adventures.
Purposeful.
LakeHaus Kennels is a small, purpose-driven breeder of German Shorthaired Pointers, producing on average just one - two carefully planned litters per year. Our focus is always on quality over quantity. Each puppy is raised underfoot in the heart of our family home, surrounded by daily life and care.
We prioritize early socialization, exposure, training and sound animal husbandry, giving our puppies a strong foundation for happy, healthy futures. Our goal is to provide families with well-adjusted companions who thrive as beloved pets while also carrying the potential to excel in the show ring, performance sports, or the field.
Healthy & Sound
At LakeHaus, we place great care on preserving the heritage of our puppies. Every breeding decision is guided by a commitment to producing dogs with outstanding health, sound temperament, and correct structure. We place special emphasis on early development and socialization, incorporating Puppy Culture protocols along with early bird exposure to give each puppy the best possible start.
All of our breeding dogs meet the required health testing and clearances for the German Shorthaired Pointer, ensuring that future generations are set up for success. Whether destined for the show ring, hunting field, performance sports, or a life as a beloved family companion, our puppies are raised with passion and dedication. It is our joy and privilege to share these exceptional representatives of the breed with approved homes.
