About Us:

Weston’s Kennels is owned by Phil Cannon and Dave West, long time hunters and friends.

Phil’s father was a well known English Pointer breeder and trainer in the Sand Springs/Tulsa, Oklahoma area in the 1950’s. Phil learned his respect for the hunting breeds from his father both as a breeder/trainer and hunter.  His father gave him the gun he uses today, a Browning A-5 20ga. when he graduated from Tulsa University in 1962.

Dave is currently enrolled in the School of Veterinary Science at Stratford Career Institute in Champlain, New York. As a long time pet owner and lover of all animals, Dave is a professional dog trainer and member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) whose mission is to enhance the human-dog relationship by educating trainers, other animal professionals, and the public; advocating dog-friendly training.

Hunting with good dogs of different breeds has been an inspiration but the German Shorthair became our breed of choice. Basically you could set down and write out a list of desired characteristics that you want in your dog and someone will be breeding a German Shorthair of that type. The genetics are that versatile.
