German Shorthaired Pointers are beautiful dogs that deserve to be raised in the best possible way and to have long and happy lives. The best way to guarantee this is to always buy from responsible breeders.
Responsible breeders ensure that all of their puppies are vet checked, microchipped and vaccinated before they go to their forever homes. Each litter born at their kennels will get the best possible start in life in a loving, family environment.
This is why we only recommend a breeder if they're registered on the Western Australia breeder register so that you can be certain that all of their pups will be healthy and happy.

It is definitely safe to buy dogs online, but it does mean that you'll need to make sure you fully research the breeder before you commit to purchasing a dog from them. You should always check that they're registered to be breeding in the state that they're in to ensure that they're breeding responsibly.
Always make sure that you meet any puppy that you intend to buy before you agree to buy it. A reputable breeder will also usually allow you to meet its parents so that you can see what traits your puppy is likely to inherit.
