Honor

Honor is a breeder of German shorthaired pointers in Mesa, AZ, serving Maricopa County and the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix. Honor follows American Kennel Club guidelines and conducts routine health screenings for hips and eyes to ensure each puppy meets breed standards. Puppies are raised in a home environment where they enjoy daily socialization with family members and supervised time outdoors.

The breeding program builds on careful lineage selection to promote sound structure, strong retrieving instincts and stable dispositions. Each puppy is introduced early to basic obedience and field skills, reflecting a blend of hunting heritage and gentle companionship. Ellen Ritter brings her knowledge of canine behavior to every stage, using positive reinforcement techniques to foster confidence. Families value the balanced temperament and adaptability of these dogs, which thrive on active adventures and quiet evenings at home. Each puppy receives a veterinary wellness check and detailed records of vaccinations and growth milestones before joining its new family.
