Wind River's Kennel is dedicated to producing German Shorthaired Pointers that have exceptional form (well balanced), are fast moving, close working, stylish and have outstanding bird finding ability. In addition, we strive to produce dogs that are not only great hunting companions, but are also even tempered, loyal, and relaxed. Wind River's GSPs are socialized daily with children and adults.
Currently we specialize in AKC Hunt Tests, and plan to add more events as time permits while running our Hunting Preserve.
We produced and own the #1 Producing Hunt Test Dams for the years 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2005.

On Thursday, November 19, 2009, Wind River's Black Magic MH left our kennel for the last time. Magic was battling a large tumor in her abdomen and, although Dr. Kim at the Animal Health Care Center in Arcola, IL did everything she could to save her, in the end she just wasn't meant to go on any further. Magic was the Nation's Top Producing Hunt Test Dam for the years 2002 and 2005, and is known worldwide for her accomplishments and impact on the breed. She left a true legacy in her offspring, and a void in my life. She will never be forgotten, but will be very much missed until the day that we walk in the fields again. Until that time she'll be patiently waiting for me this side of heaven, at the Rainbow Bridge. Wind River's Black Magic MH, January 26, 1999 - November 19, 2009.
Zoey has come in season and has been bred to Dillon. Check the Puppy page for more information!
