PALM GLADES SHORTHAIRS
Breeding The Versatile GSP Since 1972

Breeding To Preserve, Enhance & Improve The Characteristics That Make The Breed So Unique .....

Pups Whelped On May 9th., 2011 - Five Males Are Available

Both Sire & Dam Are OFA Certified (Hips screened for dysplasia as are all Palm Glades Shorthairs).

SIRE: PALM GLADES BOBBY LEE (FC MRK's Western Whitey X Palm Glades Breezy). Bobby Lee's sire, FC MRK's Western Whitey was the Number 1 'All Age Field Trial Dog' of the Year in 2000 and in 2001. In 2006 Whitey was the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of America's 'Top Field Producing Sire' of the year. Bobby Lee's dam, Palm Glades Breezy was the GSPCA's 'Top Field Producing Dam' for 2005. Breezy's sire is an AKC Dual Champion, DC Palm Glades Sweet Sage. Dual Champions are truly special. Not only did they complete their AKC show championship, they also completed their AKC Field championship. In the past, it was not uncommon to see these dogs compete in the show ring one day and to compete in field trials the next. Today, we see very few dogs compete in both venues. It is not an easy road.

DAM: PALM GLADES ABBY'S SMOKIN NAN (Palm Glades Smoke Von Germane X FC AFC Palm Glades Abby Von Grief). Nan's dam, Abby, is a daughter of FC AFC Evolution's Primo Creation (Spike). Spike was the 1995 Open Gun Dog of the Year and is a direct son NFC NAFC FC AFC Beier's Evolution X FC Ace's Prima Banane (handled by the late great Pro John Merrell). Abby's dam's sire is also a National Field Champion as well as an AKC Dual Champion, NFC DC Erlichers Abe. Both Abe and Beier's Evolution are in the GSPCA's Hall of Fame).

While these dogs are bred for competition/field trialing this makes them all the better for hunters, because all of the attributes that make a great hunting dog are attributes that are REQUIRED in a field trial dog. Field trials are very important to a breeding program providing a proving ground for the dog's abilities.

PALM GLADES SHORTHAIRS make wonderful family pet/companion dogs, great personal hunting dogs and, if given the opportunity, are national caliber competition dogs. With a PALM GLADES SHORTHAIR you get it all .....
