WELCOME TO FRIDA WIRE!
We train, breed, test, and hunt German Wirehair Pointers in cooperation with Kelly Jobes, owner of Bonepoint Kennels (www.bonepointkennels.com). We currently have two breeding females, Frida (AKA Bonepoint’s Dark Star) and Lola (AKA Bonepoint’s Indigo). Both Frida (5) and her daughter Lola (2) started pointing wild birds in the field at 5 months. I’m retired, so I can spend most of my time between September and February in the fields and wetlands working these dogs.
Frida is a naturally talented field dog, easy to train, and a real pleasure around the house. She searches for birds aggressively, points and backs solidly, and retrieves to hand with enthusiasm on both land and water. Frida loves to be with people and around other dogs; she has that desired dual personality of a hard-running, bird-finding field dog and a loving household family pet. Lola has all her mother’s hard driving field characteristics and is a lovable happy girl around the family, as well as other people and dogs.
We have hunted chukars, huns, pheasants, quail, sharp-tails, and ducks and geese throughout Oregon as well as other states, including South Dakota, Saskatchewan, Nevada, California, and Arizona. In the off-season, we train for NAVHDA field tests. Frida has earned a NAVHDA Prize 2 in Natural Ability and a Prize 1 in the Utility Test. Lola has earned a Prize 1 (perfect score) in the Natural Ability Test and a Prize 3 in Utility at age 2. She will go for the Prize 1 in the summer of 2012.
Frida’s first litter won a NAVHDA Breeder’s Award, with 5 puppies winning NA prizes. We plan to breed both of these outstanding German Wirehair Pointers next Spring. See Kelly Jobes’s website for breeding plans and puppy information.
