Versatile hunting dogs for hunting what’s in season.

We (me and the dogs) are a small kennel in Fairbanks, Alaska.   The kennel name reflects our location in the heart of the Boreal Forest under the glow of the Aurora Borealis (vom Borealen = from the boreal or north).  My goal is to produce healthy hunting dogs that are a joy to have in the home.  I have chosen to be a member of the Verein Deutsch Drahthaar- Group North America (VDD-GNA) because the breed club has a great testing system and a network of breeders committed to improving the health of the breed.  My Deutsch-Drahthaars (German Wirehairs) hunt upland birds and small game, waterfowl, and we take them along on big game and predator hunting trips too in case we need some help tracking wounded game.  The Drahthaars also like to sit on the couch by the wood stove and ride along to work in case we get a chance to let them out to exercise at lunch.  My goal is to produce one or two litters a year and are committed to supporting the training, testing, and hunting efforts of puppy owners.

If you are new here the Getting a Drahthaar page or the Upcoming Litters page might be good spots to start.

I hope you enjoy the site. -Tom
