Hedgehog Hill Shorthairs, Reg'd

Hedgehog Hill Shorthairs, Reg’d, breeds German shorthaired pointers in Belmont, Vermont, in northern Vermont near Burlington. They have been committed to the breed for over a decade, maintain active memberships in national dog registries and ensure regular health screenings for hips, elbows and eyes.

Puppies grow up in a family setting with daily socialization, supervised outdoor play and consistent exposure to everyday sounds. Adult dogs reside on a small rural property with wooded trails that encourage natural hunting instincts and gentle training sessions. Breeders prioritize temperament testing and introduce basic obedience early to prepare puppies for both fieldwork and family life.

One recent review mentions thoughtful guidance provided during the puppy’s first weeks, noting clear communication and ongoing support. Owners Sherry Thrall and Bob Kapitan emphasize lasting bonds between dogs and families through patient temperament evaluations and gradual introductions. The farm’s quiet surroundings support focused development and ensure each puppy thrives before joining its new home.
