Windheim

Windheim, German shorthaired pointers in Ellenville, NY, in Ulster County near Poughkeepsie, is run by Denise and Jim Avery.

The Averys hold memberships in national breed clubs and local kennel associations. With years of experience, they aim to preserve the breed’s versatile working ability while ensuring sound structure and temperament. Each adult dog is health-screened for hip and eye conditions, and puppies begin basic field exposure at an early age. Socialization takes place in both indoor and outdoor settings, with time spent around children, other pets and farm animals to foster confidence.

With open pastures and forested areas on their property, Windheim puppies learn to navigate varied terrain and develop strong retrieving instincts. Owners often note the kennel’s detailed care guides and willingness to share training tips as helpful resources during early development. Adopters receive comprehensive care guides and ongoing support beyond the initial placement.
