Sanctuary Hounds And Pointers

Sanctuary Hounds and Pointers has been breeding bloodhounds and German shorthaired pointers in Hamburg, Pennsylvania since 1990. Owner Deirdre Rahn's program centers on a guiding principle that has shaped the kennel for more than three decades: producing dogs with the health, structure, and temperament to perform the work their breeds were originally developed to do.

Hamburg sits in Berks County, roughly an hour northwest of Philadelphia in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, a region with deep ties to working and hunting dog traditions. That setting suits a program built equally around the conformation ring and the field, with show quality and functional ability treated as complementary rather than competing goals.

The kennel works across two distinct breeds, with the bloodhound as its foundational breed and the German shorthaired pointer rounding out the program for those seeking a versatile sporting dog. Families and sportsmen looking for bloodhound puppies in Pennsylvania or a German shorthaired pointer with both show credentials and working ability will find a program rooted in long-standing standards rather than short-term trends.
