Our passion for the breed began in 1971 out of my love for upland bird hunting. The passion for pointing dogs grew from my love of upland bird hunting.  

First and foremost we enjoy being in the great outdoors enjoying our dogs.  Like you we do not spend hours upon hours per day or week in the fields training. We train between, soccer games, football games, lacrosse and dance. Oh yes and someplace in there I own a business which takes up much of my time as well. The pictures you will see on this website are of dogs that went to homes to become not only hunting partners but additions to one's family. I would have it no other way!

We are very dedicated to the breed producing puppies that in the field will amaze you with their bird finding ability. Our pups live across the United States and are hunted on every species of upland birds known !  In the home a Nobelle dog is calm and content.
 
It is our philosophy that for most of you, better than 90 percent of your pups life will be spent in the home therefore our dogs must have a love for people as well as other dogs. They must be of sound temperament to enable them to co-exist in a household where they are loved by your children as well as your children's friends. Little fingers may poke them, or little arms may place a choke hold on them yet their temperaments must be such that they either just stand there and take the love,or simply walk away. They must be intelligent and easily trained. They have to be cooperative coupled with the personality to take to training. The other 10% while they are in the field bird hunting they must productive and cooperative producing birds for the gun.  

Our breeding program produces puppies that are natural in every sense of the word coupled with desire and cooperation.  

Over the past decade Nobelles shorthairs by percentage has produced an outstanding ratio of NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeders Awards, Utility Breeder's Awards, NAVHDA Versatile Champions and AKC Master Hunting Titles.  While we encourage our puppy buyers to get involved and test their dogs,  the  testing of dogs is not why we breed. Testing  alone can not and should not determine one's successes. The performance of our dogs in actual hunting conditions is our benchmark!  Our sucess are determined in the field in actual hunting conditions!

Our puppies stretch across the country hunting wild game from the north woods of New England in pursuit of grouse and woodcock, the upper peninsula of Michigan hunting both wood cock and duck, to the vast open spaces in the Dakotas in pursuit of the wiley pheasant, down south hunting the elusive bob white quail to the shores of New Jersey hunting woodcock and geese.
