Valor Hill Kennels

Valor Hill Kennels, German shorthaired pointers in Stacy, MN, Chisago County near Minneapolis. Tina Hince and Katie Freshour have worked with breed mentors and remain active in regional and national German shorthaired pointer clubs, following recommended health testing protocols for hips, elbows and eyes to support their dogs’ lifelong well-being. They uphold standards for temperament and functionality, ensuring each dog meets breed guidelines.

Puppies grow up in a family setting with daily socialization and exposure to hunting scenarios from an early age. Adult dogs live on pastureland and participate in regular field training, combining practical skills with close supervision. All puppies receive veterinary evaluations and a vaccination plan tailored to their development stages.

Several Valor Hill dogs have earned hunt titles at local trials, reflecting the breeders’ emphasis on working ability. This approach produces versatile companions with calm temperaments suited for families and active owners alike.
