Question 3

What is your breeding policy for German Wirehaired Pointers (GWP)?

Accepted Answer

We follow a rigorous breeding policy focusing on health, temperament, and hunting excellence. Our GWP breeding program ensures each puppy comes from exceptional bloodlines with proven field abilities.

Question 4

Does Wirehaven Kennels stand behind the health of their puppies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At Wirehaven Kennels, we stand behind the health and development of our dogs. We provide support for our puppies up to two years of age, provided the dog has been maintained on FidoVite as part of its daily nutrition routine.

Proper nutrition is a critical factor in a dog’s long-term health, growth, and development. Because we have had excellent results using FidoVite in our own program, we strongly encourage our puppy families to maintain this supplement as part of their dog’s daily feeding routine.

Maintaining consistent nutrition helps support:
• healthy growth and development

• strong immune system function

• skin and coat health

• joint and connective tissue support

• overall vitality and longevity

By keeping the puppy on a consistent nutrition program that includes FidoVite, we are better able to stand behind the health and well-being of our dogs during their first years of life.

Question 5

What is your puppy deposit policy?

Accepted Answer

Once a client has selected a puppy and a litter has been established, Wirehaven Kennels requires a deposit to reserve that puppy. The deposit secures the client’s pick and confirms their commitment to the puppy.

Deposits help cover early expenses associated with raising each litter, including veterinary care, nutrition, and general puppy development costs during the first weeks of life.

Deposit Terms
Deposits are applied toward the final purchase price of the puppy.
Deposits are non-refundable, as they represent a commitment to a specific puppy and litter.
In the event that a placement cannot proceed due to circumstances approved by Wirehaven Kennels, the deposit may be transferred to a future litter at the kennel’s discretion.
Wirehaven Kennels reserves the right to prioritize the well-being of the puppy and ensure each dog is placed in an appropriate home. All deposit arrangements are made with the intention of transparency, fairness, and responsible breeding practices.

Question 6

What are your service purchase policies?

Accepted Answer

Stud Services Policy
Wirehaven Kennels operates under a “No Puppy, No Payment” policy for stud services. If a breeding does not result in a live puppy, no stud fee is due. This policy is designed to ensure fairness and shared confidence in each pairing.

Guided Hunt & Training Services Policy
For guided hunts and training services, including Bird Dog Boot Camp (BDBC), a minimum of 14 days’ notice is required for refunds or rescheduling. Cancellations made within 14 days of the scheduled service may be subject to forfeiture, unless otherwise arranged due to extenuating circumstances.
