 Vom Covey Run
Deutsch Kurzhaars is not a prolific
breeding kennel; we generally breed
only one Deutsch Kurzhaar (DK) litter
per year, or less. We take advance deposits on our pups before they are born, and they are generally sold out long before they actually arrive. Puppies are sold
only to hunting homes who will agree to test them in the German testing system
as required by the German breed club.
Our "D" litter, was whelped
September 3, 2006. For info on
future planned litters, please visit
our
Available
and Upcoming Litter Information Page*
At various times we have liver, liver and white, black, and black and white DK puppies available, but
color or coat pattern should never
be the basis for choosing a
particular dog, unless you are
presented with two specimens
otherwise equal in every regard. At
Covey Run, we believe as the Germans believe:
that "a good dog can't be a bad color".
For this reason, we take deposits
based on gender only, and not on
color or coat pattern. Our pups are line bred from imported German dogs and dogs we have bred from our imported German stock. Our pups generally mature early, and are well-socialized, alert, and personable. We temperament test all of our puppies, as well as screen them for conformation and natural abilities in pointing, tracking, and retrieving prior to placement in their new homes. Tails are docked slightly longer than most American lines, as is the German tradition.
Pups are started on their vaccination and worming schedule and are introduced to live quail before placement. Additionally, Covey Run puppies get a head start on house training, and are generally using a doggie door to go outside by the age of 4-5 weeks. For your convenience, we provide new puppy owners with an informational packet, which includes health records, feeding recommendations, training tips, etc.
All our pups come with genetic and health guarantees against such disorders as Canine Hip Dysplasia, genetic heart defects, von Willebrand's, etc. If necessary, pups are replaced with another one from the next available litter*.
 Currently, our DK pups are $900. We require half of the purchase price ($450) as a deposit to reserve a puppy for you.
The deposit is considered a binding
commitment by both parties--it is
refundable in the event we do not
have enough puppies to fulfill our
obligations, or may be applied to
the next available litter, if
desired, but not simply in the event
you have a change of heart later.
The balance and shipping-related
charges, if applicable, are due
before pick-up or shipping
arrangements are finalized.
You are welcome to visit our kennel
to see the litter in person and pick
up your pup, whenever possible, but
if time or travel constraints don't
allow you to, we are always happy to
ship your pup to you via airline to
most locations. We take our job of
choosing the right pup for you and
your situation very seriously. We
base our decision regarding which
pup goes to which person on a number
of things--temperament, conformation
and abilities of a particular pup,
along with information we gather
about you, your family, your hunting
style and frequency, your training
and testing experience and
commitment, your housing plans for
the dog, etc.
For your convenience, we take frequent photos of the litter digitally, which we update on our website weekly as the puppies grow. Deposits are only taken based on gender, not on color or coat pattern preferences,
etc. We can accept personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks,
Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal.
For more information on availability, pedigrees, or additional photos, please

online response form. To see photos of some of the pups Covey Run has previously produced, please view the reference links in the left hand column of the page,

*If owning and testing a vom Covey Run Deutsch Kurzhaar (DK) pup
sounds like a commitment you'd like to make, or at least consider,
please
contact us for more information
or visit our newest page:
"About
the Deutsch Kurzhaar and the NADKC".
These are the things we ask our Covey Run
DK puppy buyers to commit to:
1. Love your dog and treat him/her as a member of your family
2. Join the NADKC and/or JGV-USA and follow all its testing,
breeding, and membership regulations
3. Intend to train the dog yourself for obedience and hunting
(with the help and advice of others)
4. Raise the dog in your home. (There is no comparison
between a kennel dog and a dog that is raised as part of a family)
5. Be a responsible owner--have a proper kennel to be used for
when the dog is unattended, a crate to be used when
the dog is being transported, and provide quality food, shelter,
& medical care for your dog
6. Be willing to expose the pup to live game, to properly train
him/her, to hunt with him/her, and to take the pup to, and handle him/her
