Rose Mountain German Shorthaired Pointers

Rose Mountain German Shorthaired Pointers cares for German shorthaired pointers in Big Indian, NY, in the Catskill region near Kingston.

Barbara Van Blarcum and Raymond Scarth established this kennel over a decade ago. It holds American Kennel Club registration and follows annual health testing for hips, elbows and eyes along with regular veterinary care. Both owners participate in the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of America’s field events. Each litter is raised indoors with daily enrichment and early socialization before time in a secure fenced yard where puppies refine basic training and explore at their own pace.

The adult dogs live as family members with access to climate-controlled spaces and daily exercise in open pastures. The bloodlines emphasize versatility in both field and home life, reflecting the owners’ experience as seasoned hunting companions. Puppies grow accustomed to varied sights and sounds to build confidence and adaptability across different settings.
