Thank you for visiting
our site. Our passion for the breed began in 1976 out of my love for 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 determine one's breeding program. The performance of our dogs in actual hunting conditions are the benchmark of our breeding program. Our sucess as a breeder is determined in the field in actual hunting conditions! Our clients 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. We have consistently demonstrated our ability to produce puppies that are representative of what the breed was intended to do. If consistency over the entire litter is a benchmark of success then we have done our job. If there is one word to describe our breeding program it is “consistency”. Every puppy we have ever kept was chosen not by me but by my children, how is that for believing in consistency. Our “ESTABLISHED” breeding program is known for producing:
Our Breeding Objective We blend the best German/American bloodlines to produce dogs that are easily handled yet possess tremendous natural abilities. It is always our goal to produce puppies that are calm, cooperative, coupled with tremendous desire and intelligence. Our standards are to breed only those dogs proven in the field under actual hunting conditions, as well as from generations of proven tested dogs. Our puppies are whelped in our home. They are well adjusted, well socialized. We start with a sound breeding program and breeding plan. Our pedigrees demonstrate generations of tried and true dogs ensuring truly versatile puppies.
I designed this whelping box to be very easy to clean as well as practical. It has the whelping area as well as a cleaning area. The inner wall breaks down as the puppies get older.
