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!

Currently

After some 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, working with my own dogs and spending time with my grandchildren 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 sons, grandchildren, friends (both Alabama and Auburn) coaching buddies, boys and girls from school and I hunted almost every Saturday and on many holidays.  I am still in the field as much as possible although not nearly as often. 

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 my stock. I have decided to cease from giving other breeder reccomendations. When one is in the MIDDLE of a recommended deal that goes bad….it is NOT GOOD…for ME! There are breeders that USE and post pictures of MY DOGS in order to sell their dogs. YEP…..it sure does happen!! If you have reserved a puppy PLEASE get in touch with me.

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!

I do not have quail to sale and I DO NOT train dogs for the public, and DO NOT board dogs. When I do have a litter of pups they are probably socialized as good as any pups in the country. My grandchildren love to play with the puppies. They roll them on the ground, ride them on the Kubota side-by-side, pile up with them in the cedar shavings and as they say, "help train them." I do not particularly favor one breed over another. I have seen and owned some outstanding, solid dogs in the English Setter breed, the German Shorthaired Pointer breed, Boykin Spaniels, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon’s, and also the Brittany Spaniel breed. Now, I have ONLY got German Shorthaired Pointer’s and Wirehaired Pointing Griffon’s.

We have proven crosses! I have dogs at my kennels from past breedings --MY STOCK. And, I continue to read about and I KNOW of many kennels that have started from and CONTINUE to operate with MY STOCK; my bloodlines!! And, pictures of MY DOGS!! I have recommended many callers to another or other kennels. I WILL NOT do that anymore. Being in the middle of a bad situation is no fun!!! We will show people first-hand that are interested in a puppy, started or trained dog what they will do.

GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS: This is the part that I hate. The two GSP females, Gypsey and Bretta, that were due around March 16,2025 were NOT BRED. Both looked bred BUT both were experincing FALSE pregnancies. I have since bred three more females! The details are below!!

GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS: (Updated March 26, 2025) Mindy (Liver/Roan) has been bred to Shade (Black/Roan): If ALL goes well the pups should be ready to LEAVE by JUNE 22, 2025.The pups should be colored LIVER/ROAN and BLACK/ROAN.

GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS: (Updated March 26, 2025) Sadie Bell (Liver/Roan) has been bred to Beckett(Liver/Roan) All of the pups should be colored LIVE/ROAN. IF all goes well the pups can leave around JUNE 22, 2025.

GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS: (Updated March 26, 2025) Macy (Black/Roan) has been bred to Gus (Liver/Roan). There should be a good mix of both BLACK/ROAN and LIVER/ROAN colored pups.. IF IF IF ALL goes well the litter can leave July 4th ish! ******************************************************************************* WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON'S:(UPDATED March 26, 2025) RAYLEE and REGGIE: This is a REPEAT BREEDING —great cross. If all goes well the pups should be born around April 2, 2025 and leave around May 16th ish. 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 dogs and DO.IT.ALL !

To reserve a puppy give me a call or TEXT (ph.256-431-6584) , or send an email: Spintopkennel@gmail.com TEXT is BEST! I am 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 my 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.

I am taking reservations for pups now. If no answer please leave a message...I 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. I always send pictures of the 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, I will work with the new owner with getting the puppy to his or her home. I occasionally have someone that can deliver a puppy, it just depends on the date. I do not AIR-SHIP puppies.
