Calvert Kennels- Akc / Navhda German Shorthair Pointers

Calvert Kennels- Akc / Navhda German shorthaired pointers in Philomath, OR, is based in Benton County and the Willamette Valley near Corvallis. The kennel holds AKC and NAVHDA registrations and follows a routine of health screenings for hips and eyes to support longevity in the breed. Breeder Kathy Hinton raises each litter on a small farm, offering daily handling and early field exposure to build confidence and trainability.

Puppies grow up in a family environment alongside adult pointers, with access to fenced pastures and gentle introduction to hunting tasks. Kathy draws on years of experience in field trials to develop pups that balance independent hunting drive with a strong bond to their owners. Litters usually include dogs with hunt-test pedigrees recognized by NAVHDA. Owners often note the calm demeanor of older dogs and their willingness to settle into home life after training in open country.
