Dog Training Methodology

Chippewa Kennel, LLC focuses on breeding German Shorthair Pointers for hunting.

Pricing & Policies

Pricing Summary

The business offers a refund of half the NAVHDA Natural Ability test entry fee, up to $60, if a pup is run in a test before 16 months of age. For stud services, a fee is agreed upon in writing prior to mating, with an incentive rebate of $25 per pup up to a maximum of 4 pups tested and achieving NAVHDA Prize II or higher.

A handling/boarding fee of $50 is charged for bitches boarded for the duration of heat, which includes airport pickup and delivery. A $100 mating deposit plus the $50 handling/boarding fee is due prior to shipping or delivery of the bitch. The balance of the stud fee is due at whelping. If no pregnancy results, the owner has the choice of re-mating or a return of the $100 deposit. There is a guarantee of at least 3 live pups; if 2 or fewer live pups are produced, the balance of the stud payment is due, but a free re-mating will be provided if desired, with the $50 handling fee waived.

Policies

The buyer is fully responsible for the puppy’s care and training from the time of receipt. Puppies are guaranteed to be in sound health and free from communicable diseases at the time of sale and for 48 hours thereafter. A 100% refund of the purchase price is provided if the puppy is found to be in poor health by the buyer’s veterinarian within 48 hours, with written extensions possible.

If the dog is certified by a veterinarian to be unhealthy due to genetic causes before 24 months of age, the buyer receives a 100% refund upon return of the dog. The seller guarantees that the puppy’s hips will be OFA or PennHip certifiable at two years of age, provided the buyer meets specific requirements including X-raying before 28 months, immediate submission to OFA or PennHip, and providing a copy of the report. A full refund is given for dogs found dysplastic by OFA or PennHip and returned.

Deposit conditions include immediate refund or option for another litter if mating is unsuccessful. Prospective buyers making deposits are guaranteed a choice from at least two pups. Deposits are forfeited if the buyer is no longer interested in an available puppy. Stud conditions require the bitch to be hip dysplasia-free, have a negative Brucella test, be up-to-date on vaccinations, be AKC or alternatively registered, show strong hunting ability (preferably NAVHDA tested), and have an acceptable temperament.

About the Trainer

Chippewa Kennel, LLC is a German Shorthair Pointer breeder focused on producing a limited number of pups with outstanding Natural Ability. Their goal is to provide pups that the average enthusiastic hunter with limited time and training experience can develop into great hunting companions. The owner is an Animal Geneticist by training and profession, and a strong supporter of NAVHDA testing.

They are located in Oregon, amidst a wide variety of hunting opportunities, and use their dogs for hunting waterfowl, eight species of upland birds, and various big game, including trailing wounded deer. They breed for versatile dogs that can point, retrieve, work in water, trail, and search. All their breeding dogs are tested through NAVHDA and excel at all levels, and are X-rayed and certified dysplasia-free before breeding consideration.

Chippewa Kennel, LLC provides training guidance to their puppy buyers through written training guides, personal contact, and an email discussion group for sharing responses to training, health, or other puppy management questions. They strongly encourage buyers to test their dogs through NAVHDA and offer to refund half of the entry fee for Natural Ability tests.

Specific litters have earned multiple NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Awards, with many pups achieving maximum scores in their tests.
