About us

Charleswood kennel has kept german shorthaires since 1990. First GSP litter came 1994, mother of the puppies was Swedish showchampion Samantha's Krakel Spektakel. She was our foundationbitch, and still all Charleswooddogs are related to her.

Our passion is hunting and breeding, and our ambition is to breed topclass shorthairs, dual purpose dogs, true hunters but still got the looks. For us a GSP is mainly a pointing dog, but of course they can join for almost any hunt, carrying home ducks, foxes etc.

We search worldwide for interesting dogs that can be useful in our breedingprogram. Today's Charleswoods are a mix of Scandinavian/German and also Tjeckian dogs.

Kennel Charleswood has been in Sweden until 2004. Now we live in Finland, about 70km from Vaasa. Our home is situated in the middle of our huntingground and here are wild partridges and pheasants. In the forest we can find blackgrouses, capricales and grouses. Charleswood kennel has exported dogs to Germany, Åland, Island, Norway and USA.

Puppybuyers are welcome to us for training and support. We are grateful to those who really help us forward by showing their dogs in both huntingtests and shows. Most important though, is that you as a puppybuyer get yourself a good huntingdog and family companion for many years.
