Joyce Shively

Joyce Shively, German shorthaired pointers, Ashville, OH, is a dedicated breeder based in Pickaway County in central Ohio near Columbus. With over a decade of experience and memberships in national breed clubs, she places priority on health screening for hips, elbows, and eyes. Each puppy grows up indoors with family socialization and regular exposure to countryside walks on the farm.

Puppies receive early training on basic commands and gentle introduction to water, reflecting the pointer’s retrieving heritage. Veterinary check-ups, age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipping are handled by local clinics to support long-term wellness. Kennel runs open onto secure yards, combining climate-controlled indoor spaces with safe outdoor play areas for proper development.

Joyce’s kennel history spans three generations, blending traditional handling with modern welfare standards. Many owners note how well-adjusted her dogs are in home and hunting settings, reflecting consistent care from whelping through transition.
