Pete and Lisa Pehur - Shooters Shorthairs



BACK TO HISTORY




In 1989 Pete and Lisa Pehur became members of our Michigan Club. Lisa held the Club Secretary Position 1992 and 1993. Pete and Lisa were very active in the Club, serving as Judges and Gunners for our Hunting Tests. Lisa also served as our Show Chairperson and helped with other Club activities. Pete and Lisa throughout the years have had a lot of success with their Breeding program. "Shooters Shorthairs" has become a well-respected producer of quality German Shorthaired Pointers in Michigan. "Shooters Shorthairs" has produced numerous Show Champions with Hunting Test Titles, Water Test Titles, NAVHDA Titles and Obedience titles.



The Story of Shooter's Shorthairs:

Lisa and Pete´s story began with a female puppy they purchased from Deb DeBruyn of Brookstone´s Kennel. Her name was Brookstone´s Dot´s Incredible "Dottie." Dottie´s Sire was CH Dinges the Sure Shot Raider JH (Raider ranked top 10 dogs in our Country at the time) and her Dam was Ch. Dawn-Dee´s Heidi Ho. Dottie soon became a Champion of record and earned her Hunting test title and would become the foundation bitch for "Shooters Shorthairs".



The first Shooter´s breeding produced Champion Shooter´s Mr. Manly, Senior Hunter. Unfortunately, Manny was involved in an accident and passed at a young age. The Pehur´s were devastated and through their grief, decided two things: 1) they had to have one of Manny's pups and 2) were going to repeat the breeding that produced Manny. Step 1 was achieved fairly quickly as there were 2 Manny litters on the ground; Sonny soon joined their family. Champion Shooter´s Manny's Rising Son MH CD "Sonny", would follow in his sire´s footsteps and achieve his Championship title, Master Hunting title, Companion Dog title and a NAVHDA Prize 2 all by the age of 2. Step 2 was also in the making and shortly after came Woody; CH Shooter´s Pitch´ In A Tent SH UT Prize 1. This was the beginning of so many good things to come.



Because Lisa and Pete are both avid hunters. They understood the importance of a good sound Hunting dog and it has always been Pete and Lisa's goal to produce dogs with exceptional hunting ability and calm dispositions. They also believe strongly in adhering to the breed standard so that their dogs would look and Hunt as the German Shorthaired Pointer was intended. Shooters Shorthairs over the past years has excelled in producing some of Michigan's finest hunting dogs



Below is a list of dogs and bitches produced by Shooters Shorthairs. When you look at the list of titles and awards you realize that Shooters is not a large commercial operation. It´s a home-based passion that has produced some exceptional dogs/bitches who are owner handled. It´s easy to understand exactly how successful Shooters Shorthairs has been.
