What Goes Into
a Well-Bred Puppy

We believe families are not simply purchasing a puppy they are investing in years of health, sound temperament, trainability, and lifelong breeder support. At Nosam Kennels, our German Shorthaired Pointer and Vizsla puppies are thoughtfully bred from health-tested parents with careful consideration given to temperament, structure, natural ability, and the qualities that make these breeds exceptional companions and working dogs.

Every Nosam puppy receives comprehensive veterinary care, purposeful early development, socialization, and foundational training before ever going home. Our program reflects the time, breed-specific health testing, planning, and hands-on care that goes into responsibly breeding and raising well-bred GSP and Vizsla puppies we are proud to stand behind.

We welcome families to apply by thoughtfully completing our puppy application. Our ideal families choose Nosam Kennels intentionally because they value responsible breeding, proper puppy development, and responsible dog ownership as much as we do. When our values align, we can provide each puppy with the strongest possible start and the best opportunity for a lifetime of success.

A Thoughtful Beginning

At Nosam Kennels, raising well-bred German Shorthaired Pointer and Vizsla puppies means much more than caring for a litter for eight weeks. Every puppy benefits from the health testing, planning, veterinary care, early development, socialization, and hands-on training that are part of our responsible breeding program in Central Kentucky.

Every Nosam puppy receives:

Health & Veterinary Care

A healthy puppy begins with thoughtful breeding and health-tested parents. Our GSP and Vizsla breeding dogs complete breed-appropriate health testing and genetic screening before being considered for our breeding program.

Comprehensive health testing on both parents
Breed-specific genetic screening
Hip and elbow evaluations
Eye and cardiac examinations
Routine veterinary care
Puppy wellness examinations
Age-appropriate vaccinations
Routine deworming
Individual puppy health records
Proper tail docking and dewclaw removal when applicable
Permanent microchipping

Early Puppy Development & Socialization

The first weeks of a puppy's life matter. Our puppies are intentionally raised with age-appropriate experiences designed to encourage confidence, engagement, adaptability, and a positive foundation for life beyond our home.

Early neurological stimulation
Daily handling from an early age
Confidence-building exercises
Exposure to new people and environments
Age-appropriate puppy socialization
Grooming introductions, including baths, nail trims, and force-dryer exposure
Crate introduction
Potty-training foundations
Engagement and attention-building exercises

Foundational Puppy Training

German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas are intelligent, active sporting breeds. We begin age-appropriate training and development while puppies are still with us so families have a foundation they can continue building upon at home.

Recall foundations
Retrieving foundations
Bird-drive exposure for appropriate sporting homes
Positive introduction to training sessions
Daily opportunities to learn, explore, and build confidence

These are not finished behaviors. They are foundations.

Our goal is to give each puppy a head start and send home a confident, well-prepared puppy who is ready to continue learning with their new family.

More Than Raising a Litter

Responsible breeding is about more than producing puppies and sending them home.

We observe them.

We handle them.

We evaluate their temperaments.

We watch how they interact with people, their littermates, new environments, and different experiences.

As they grow, we learn who they are—their confidence, engagement, independence, curiosity, energy, temperament, and natural abilities.

That information helps us thoughtfully match each German Shorthaired Pointer and Vizsla puppy with the family, lifestyle, and goals where we believe they can thrive.

Families do not choose puppies based on picking order. Puppies are thoughtfully matched to families.

Our goal is not simply to help you bring home a puppy. It is to make the best possible match for both the puppy and the family who will love them for the rest of their life.

Coming Home With You

Your Nosam puppy goes home with more than a collar and a health record. The care, development, and breeder support behind your puppy continue well beyond go-home day.

You'll also receive:

AKC registration
Permanent microchip and registration
Puppy health records
Our puppy-raising information and resources
Feeding and care guidance
Training and socialization recommendations
Professional photos and video updates throughout puppyhood
A comprehensive guide to how your litter has been raised
Lifetime breeder support

And perhaps most importantly, you'll bring home a puppy whose first weeks have been intentionally planned, closely observed, and thoughtfully invested in.

The Investment

Puppies at Nosam Kennels are $3,000.

That price represents our complete puppy program from the health testing and careful breeding decisions behind each litter to the daily hands-on work that goes into raising, evaluating, socializing, training, and preparing our German Shorthaired Pointer and Vizsla puppies for life with their families.

The work that matters is already part of your puppy's beginning.
