The Reason Behind The Shelter

Bert and Ernie are pure bred FDSB Pointers that were born July 3, 2008 in Kentucky. Because of their birth defects (one is deaf and one has a kink in his tail and missing a toe), because no one would buy them, and because they felt they had no other choice, the breeder made the hard decision to turn them into a shelter, confident that they would go to a home quickly. Sadly what the breeder didn’t know was that they almost had no chance of adoption due to the overcrowding conditions and would have been euthanized had IBR not been contacted.

Both boys are the sons of Harpeth Valley Hawk, a top three Field Trial National Champion. We are lucky to now be in contact with the breeder and hope that they will spread the word about IBR and relay to the Field Trial community that we are here to help unwanted dogs and puppies.
