Where It All Began 

More than 35 years ago an old friend invited me to go with him quail hunting. I had never hunted quail with a good bird dog until then. As a boy growing up on the farm, my wonderful daddy had always owned beagles. We were avid rabbit-hunters. I hunted with my brother, my precious daddy, grandpa, and my great-uncle Ilie. We would occasionally kill a quail or two while rabbit hunting, but never hunted with a bird dog. I can still hear those beagles running on the hot-trail of a cotton tail...

That quail-hunting trip with my friend changed me forever. Shortly after that hunt I purchased my first birddog, a pointer puppy and I have owned bird dogs ever since. I have owned some of the best dogs I have ever hunted with and have hunted with others who had some of the best and worst. And, not all of mine have been perfect! As the years flew by… I now have several growm grandson’s that love the thrill of hunting and training birddogs.

Currently

After some MAJOR health issues (yes THAT, we all have a story) I retired from teaching high school and coaching football. Now, raising an occasional litter of pups, and spending time with my family has become my greatest joys. Those passions occupy much of my time. Especially time with my FAMILY!! During the PAST several years during hunting season my son’s, grand-children, friends, boys and girls from school, and I hunted almost every Saturday and on many holidays.  My days in the field are now far and few between. And, my son’s and grandson’s are involved with the kennels and breeding more than I am.

Our Kennel

We are not in competition with anyone and we do not make negative comments about other breeders' dogs. And, we have given away several puppies and older dogs. There are NUMEROUS kennels in the Southeast that have been started from our stock. There are breeders that USE and post pictures of OUR DOGS in order to sell their dogs. YEP…..it sure does happen!! If you have reserved a puppy PLEASE get in touch with us.

Our Dogs

Contact us if you would like to discuss what might be available we just might have what you are looking for. We sincerely thank you for visiting our site. And, we hope that God will bless you as wonderfully as he has blessed us!

We DO NOT have quail for sale and we DO NOT train dogs for the public, and DO NOT board dogs. When we do have a litter of pups they are well socialized. Our yonger grand-children love to play with the puppies.

We do not particularly favor one breed over another. Over the MANY years we have seen and owned some outstanding, solid birddogs in the English Setter breed, the German Shorthaired Pointer breed, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon’s,(GRIFF’S) and also the Brittany Spaniel breed. Now, we have got ONLY German Shorthaired Pointer’s and Wirehaired Pointing Griffon’s.

We have proven crosses! We have got dogs at our kennels from past breedings --OUR STOCK. And, we continue to read about and KNOW of many kennels that have started from and CONTINUE to operate with OUR STOCK; our bloodlines!! We will show people first-hand that are interested in a puppy, started, or trained dog what they will do.

GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS: (Updated 1/26/2026) Our girl Bretta —bred to Smokey has got a litter of pups that can leave Feb. 17. They are ALL colored liver/roan/patched and ticked.

Our girl Bella (colored Liver/Roan) is bred to our (Black/Roan) male Cody. IF IF IF all goes well the pups are DUE around Feb 3. There should be a great mix of liver/roan and black/roan colors. Both of these litters are BRED RIGHT!!!

WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON'S: Our girl Raylee is bred to our male Reggie! Her babies are DUE around Feb.12. This is an AWESOME repeat breeding!! These pups will be awesome on water after those DUCKS and GEESE as well as on UPLAND birds, antler-shed hunting, and BLOOD TRAILS!! The Griff's and the GSP's always make great family pets that DO.IT.ALL.

To reserve a puppy give us a call or TEXT (ph.256-431-6584) , or send an email: Spintopkennel@gmail.com TEXT is BEST! I will get your information to my grandson’s. We are excited about ALL of these litters!!! They are bred to point’m in the brush and GRASS or to make a SPLASH after those DUCKS or GEESE, SHED-HUNTING and BLOOD-TRAILS! Thy will be THE REAL DEAL!!!

ALL of the pups come with UNLIMITED AKC registration, tails and dew-claws docked and healed, lifetime microchips, no annual fees after the initial chip registration, vaccination, dewormed multiple times, weaned and eating Purina Puppy Chow COMPLETE.

We are taking reservations for pups now. If no answer please leave a message...we WILL return your call, text or email. ***The PEDIGREES are available upon request.*** The picks are determined in the order that the names are received. We will send pictures of the AVAILABLE pups for the potential new owner to view. Most new owners pick from the pictures, but it is just fine for one to come for a SCHEDULED visit to pick a puppy. If there is a need, if at all possible, we will work with the new owner with getting the puppy to his or her home. We do occasionally have someone that can deliver a puppy, it just depends on the date etc. We DO NOT AIR-SHIP puppies.
