We believe in breeding the highest quality puppies possible. We invest a great deal of time and money into producing the best bird dogs that we can. With each litter, we are focused on improving the next generation and our breeding program. 

Our goal is to always improve the breed – to create puppies who are even better than their parents. 

Our standards set us apart from most average breeders.

 

Every breeding is carefully researched and planned well in advance.

We consider structure, temperament, health, type, and pedigree. We strive to produce healthy individuals 

and consistent litters with quality in every puppy. We match & blend lineages that focus on health,

temperament, and ability to perform in the field, show ring or become the Canine companion

you'll be proud to own for many years to come.  Breeding determines the temperament, type, longevity

and hunting ability and should always

be considered in the purchase of a companion, show, or hunting dog.

 

Here at Nosam, our focus is to promote the preservation of both bloodlines and the breeds we have

chosen to work with. We strive for sound, trainable, healthy dogs that best

represent our ideal picture of the breed. Our dogs are competitive, obedient, & do well in

the field. We always strive to produce puppies that compliment the breed standard, aiming for the only highest

quality all-around. All dogs have imperfections! Therefore, we try not to double up on a dog’s weaknesses by

looking objectively at our dogs and their faults and not breed to another that has the same characteristics with

intentions to only improve them. In short, we look at the whole dog. 

 

We take AKC breeder education courses yearly to ensure we are always learning, improving and committed to

educating ourselves on proper breeding practices. We are AKC breeder's of heart and striving to become AKC breeders of Merit!

We also compete in AKC performance events when we are able. 

​

 

Since we have been breeding, there have been dogs that we've removed from our breeding program,

often before they have ever bred. Just because a dog has a great pedigree, does not simply mean they

will be a producer of quality or that they are quality. On the same note, we have dogs or have utilized dogs in our program that haven't

finished a championship or earned a title for one reason or another.  If the dog is physically, emotionally and mentally sound, we see NO reason not to incorporate that dog into our bloodline. Doing so helps to eliminate popular sire syndrome and allows us to create genetic diversity in our breed.

 

Many people like to express their opinions on what are good or bad practices when it comes to breeding. Especially those who have little to no experience in the field of breeding dogs. The number of dogs owned, or litters produced should not define a breeder as long as their dogs and puppies are well cared for and mentally and physically in good condition. Every litter produced should be done responsibly (proper deworming and vaccination protocols, proper socialization, most if not all puppies have homes before breeding and every puppy should be kept in a clean environment). Instead, you should look at the goals each breeder has for their breeding program and determine whether those goals meet what "you" want in a puppy. 

 

                                  

We believe that dog obedience training is an important part of a puppy's development so that our puppies know what is expected and how to behave in an appropriate manner. With proper training, new puppies can become great Canine companions who are a joy to have around the house and in the field or show ring. We believe in helping our puppies reach their full potential to become superior hunting or family companions. 

 

Puppies are exposed to a variety of sounds, surfaces, and activities designed to socialize and instill confidence and natural instinct. In addition to being given lots of attention, they are handled by us and socialize with our pack on a daily basis.  Not only is this an important part of early socialization to humans and other animals, but it is also essential in helping the puppies form positive associations later in life.  While we cannot guarantee a pup will show a desire to hunt when it matures, what you can expect in a pup from us is a well socialized, healthy puppy who has been introduced to the outside world. 

 

We take a great deal of pride in selecting families who will not only be a great match for one of our puppies but also advocates for the breed. We help to pair each family with the BEST puppy for their needs! 

 

 

If you have never owned a Vizsla or German Shorthaired Pointer before, we encourage you to research the breed to make sure it is the one for you and your entire family. Consider your lifestyle, time available for training, what kind of temperament you want in a dog, the expense of raising and feeding a dog, taking it to obedience and other training classes. This is a 10-15-year commitment. 

 

Most importantly at Nosam we hold the philosophy of "look for a breeder, not a puppy". We do not believe quality should be sacrificed for the convenience of "finding a cheaper puppy sooner". We look for buyers who have the same standards as us who are committed to taking home a pup from our program rather than those who are simply looking for a bargain pup. We believe a strong relationship between a breeder and the buyer is utmost important for the lifetime well-being of the puppies we produce. We are looking for extended family members not just "customers". By purchasing one of our puppies we believe you become an important link to helping us better the Vizsla & GSP breeds for future generations by providing important feedback for us to breed puppies who are an improvement of the breed.
