Founded in 2024, Sandem was born from a deep love for the German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) and a commitment to bettering the breed. I was born and raised in Georgia and fell in love with the GSP almost instantly. While my first and heart dog is a Border Collie, I always knew that GSPs were in my future.

From the beginning, I wanted dogs that could compete in conformation and other performance events—but more importantly, I wanted to pursue hunting with them. What started as an interest quickly grew into a true passion for the breed. I believe in honoring the GSP’s original purpose as a versatile hunting companion and make it a priority to give my dogs opportunities to do what they were bred to do. Whenever possible, I enjoy hunting over my own dogs and proving their versatility through NAVHDA testing, AKC hunt tests, and field trials. One of my long-term goals is to one day finish one of my dogs with an AKC Master Hunter title or even a Field Champion title.

In today’s market, GSPs are everywhere. While there are many excellent breeders, there are also far too many who fall short of what this breed deserves. I aim to educate potential owners on the importance of ethical breeding practices and understanding the temperament, needs, and lifestyle that come with owning a GSP.

As a hobby breeder, I try to prioritize quality over quantity. If I do not have a litter planned or available, I’m always happy to recommend trusted and responsible breeder friends who share the same values.

I am also a dedicated volunteer and active member of Southeast GSP Rescue. If adoption is your path, I would be glad to connect you with a foster dog looking for a home. Additionally, I’m a proud, active member of the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of America (GSPCA) and the NAVHDA Mid South Chapter.
