Showdown Kennels is located in the beautiful Pacific northwest, just south of Portland, Oregon. Sandra is a small animal veterinarian by profession and most of her hobbies revolve around the dogs. First and foremost, the dogs are part of the family. They all live in the house and are involved in daily life activities.
Showdown is actively involved in conformation and agility and has dabbled in many other performance events (rally, tracking, carting, lure coursing, barn hunt) with our Bullmastiffs. We no longer have German Wirehaired Pointers in our home, but in the past, we also showed them in conformation and pointing dog field trials, with most obtaining dual champion titles. Our dogs are all owner trained and handled. We are members of local and national breed clubs for both breeds.
Showdown Kennels does limited breedings, approximately one litter every 1-3 years. The dogs are selected and screened for health, temperament, soundness and to meet breed standards. We are big proponents of selective breeding for family and function, not just for convenience's sake.
