OUR PUPPIES ARE SOLD WITH LIMITED REGISTRATION (no breeding rights), unless otherwise contracted.
We do not sell our puppies with a hunting requirement.
TO RESERVE YOUR PUPPY PLEASE CALL FOR A PHONE CONSULTATION. PLACING OUR PUPPIES WITH THE RIGHT HOME IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
When you place a deposit with WAAP, you can say yes or no to any breeding at anytime. We want to give you the exact puppy you're looking for and you're allowed to stay on the list until you get it!
Puppy picks
Puppy pick/go home day is the same day at 8 weeks old in my home always on a Saturday. You will have a one hour private appointment time to pick out your puppy. PUT THAT DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR!!! Unlike other breeder's who assign the puppy to you, I allow you to pick out your own puppy. OF COURSE I will assist you in picking out the right puppy for your needs. I will be there ringside during puppy pick day with advice on the personality of every puppy. Again, we do NOT let the wrong puppy go home with a family. If there's a noise sensitive pup, that pup will not be placed with a hunting family. Is there a firecracker pup? Of course he/she will not be placed with a family companion home only. That pup needs to go to a hunting family.
Puppy pick order is based on the date you paid your waitlist fee (competition/show homes get a preferred pick number). The longer you're on the list, the higher you get a pick!! The date of your payment puts you in line for pick order. The waitlist fee is $50, NON-REFUNDABLE.
At the time of you get on the list, I do not require you to specify sex. When puppies are on the ground you will need to choose sex. No exceptions... You are not pick #2 (or whatever) of the entire litter. You are pick number 2 of the sex you choose. AFTER PUPPIES ARE WHELPED (born), YOU THEN PAY YOUR SUBSTANTIAL DEPOSIT.

We cannot guarantee pick number before puppies are on the ground. Even after your guaranteed pick number, I reserve the right to keep a puppy as my own for my breeding program (this almost never happens).
Sharon, I'm ready to pay my waitlist fee, how many people are ahead of me? Again, per my policy, you will be guaranteed a pick number the day puppies are whelped. If you're interested in a specific litter, no problem, simply stay on the list. You will still be offered a puppy if your spot in line is up. Please understand, a $50 waitlist fee is not a substantial deposit. Many people do not return my call/text for their puppy offer.
ALL DEPOSITS AND WAITLIST FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND NONTRANSFERABLE.

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:
All puppies are sold under LIMITED registration. My puppies are sold as pets.
Our puppies are sold with a name requirement. Their AKC name will begin with Wing And A Prayer's or WAAP's (I use both in my own kennel).
Your first 25lb bag of puppy food is provided by me, you pay me my cost. We feed Orijen Amazing Grains Large Breed Puppy food. After your first bag of puppy food, you may feed any food of your choice but I highly encourage you to feed Orijen or research the raw diet.

You are REQUIRED to buy 1 bottle of Nu Vet plus vitamins available at nuvet.com/80373 or by calling 800-474-7044 order code 80373. These vitamins are shipped to your home for your puppy. As your breeder, your puppy's immune system is the uttermost importance to me. The health of your puppy reflects the quality of my breeding program. Nuvet has documented evidence that puppies who are supplemented have drastic increase in immune function compared to those on a standard diet of no supplementation. After your first bottle there is no requirement but you are encouraged to keep puppy on these vitamins for life. Antioxidants reduce cancer, boost the immune system in dogs just like they do for humans. 50% of all dogs will die of cancer. Buy a simple antioxidant vitamin for your puppy whether you buy a puppy from me or not!

Puppy microchips are provided by me at no cost. You agree to register the chip with AKC Reunite. This is a considered a gift... If for any reason I do not have enough chips in stock, I'm sorry.
Your puppy comes with pre-paid AKC Papers. The certificate gets emailed to you immediately and the original certificate gets mailed to you directly from AKC.
We guarantee your puppy will not go home with coccidia, giardia, parasites or worms on puppy go home day or else you can come to my vet, Dr. Euers of Katy, TX at no charge. Shots are administerd by Dr. Euers, not me. All receipts are provided in your puppy go home packet.
All puppies are sold with a limited 1 year health guarantee for a non-curable congenital/hereditary defect. If your puppy has a congenital defect that cannot be corrected with veterinary care, your puppy will be replaced and your puppy must be returned to me. Written diagnosis from your vet of a non-curable hereditary defect is required. In the event of puppy death, a necropsy is required at the cost of the puppy buyer. In the event the necropsy shows a hereditary defect, I will pay the cost. If the necropsy is inconclusive, there is no replacement puppy. It must show a hereditary defect. There are no refunds due to vet bills. There is no health guarantee for an aquired illness (like parvo, coronavirus or distemper). If there was parvo in my kennel, the entire litter would have crashed at the same time. Do you have a lawn care service? They mow how many lawns a day picking up poop in their mower? Yep.... Even though you never took your puppy to the dog park or PetsMart, your puppy can be exposed. To this date, we have never had parvo in our kennel. Parvo symptoms are 3-5 days from exposure to the disease. Your puppy is not fully immune to parvo until 2 weeks after their 3rd round of shots. PROTECT YOUR PUPPY!
We guarantee your puppy will not go home with coccidia, giardia, parasites or worms on puppy go home day or else you can come to my vet, Dr. Euers of Katy, TX at no charge. Shots are administerd by Dr. Euers, not me. All receipts are provided in your puppy go home packet.
An umbilical hernia is a simple issue to fix. This is not the fault of the breeder and is not covered under your 1 year health guarantee.
I am a breeder who ALWAYS takes back my puppies in the event it didn't work out at home. You do not have permission to re-sell, transfer, or re-home my puppy/your puppy at anytime of the puppy's life. If you do not agree to this, then do not buy my puppy.
Your puppy's microchip will be in my name as their breeder. Your name will be as primary owner. If your puppy is ever surrendered to a rescue, they will scan him/her for a microchip and see me as the breeder. They will then call me and I will be one unhappy camper! I won't be unhappy that rescue called me, I'll be unhappy that you surrendered my puppy in violation of your contract.
Oops Breeding?
It has never happened that the sire we said we used as stud wasn't the sire. However, if that were to ever happen we agree to fully refund the price of the puppy with the return of your your current pup or you can have a replacement puppy again with the return of your current puppy (nothing else).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
BECAUSE WE LIVE IN TEXAS, ALL PUPPIES AND DOGS MUST BE ON HEARTWORM PREVENTION! I only recommend Heartgard or Triheart. DO NOT use other products that are extremely toxic to our pets.
It is in my contract that no puppy of mine is allowed to be on Trifexis, EVER! Have a flea and tick issue? Use all natural lemongrass products. Didn't work? Instead of using highly toxic oral pesticides, use a Seresto dog collar. At least the Seresto dog collar is topical. Think about this... The oral flea and tick medicine is eaten by your dog. It makes the blood so toxic that it instantly kills fleas and ticks as the dog is bitten.
GSP COLORS. ANY OTHER COLOR IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY OUR BREED CLUB, THE GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER CLUB OF AMERICA (lemon is a disqualification). Update.. as of Jan 1, 2023 black is now allowed in Shorthairs according to the breed standard.
Remember, liver roan puppies are born white. The liver roan color and ticking darken up over time and the full liver roan color isn't completely seen until about 3 months old.
Here's an example:
AKC Champion Sarge at 8 weeks old and 4 months old.

Spay/neuter:
The decision to spay or neuter your puppy is your personal choice. You are not on contract with me in regards to this issue. I do not interfere with a decision that belongs between you and your vet. However, there is evidence that spaying or neutering your puppy too young will interfere with their development because they need those hormones for growth. You also have a huge increased risk of ACL injuries and hip dysplasia. Please do your own research on this issue before making your decision. MORE INFO
I spend a lot of time on the phone explaining puppy pick order. Please accept my apology for repeating myself.

Puppy picks are based on the date your waitlist fee is received ($50).
You are allowed to say yes or no to any litter I offer you. Even if you want litter B, you will still get the phone call for litter A if your spot in line is up.
You are not guaranteed pick number until puppies are on the ground. Let me explain why.. Some people place a deposit way in advanced to get in line so they can have a higher pick. Sometimes people back out of the waitlist. They also sometimes have a specific litter they are interested in and it might not be the soonest litter available. If I told you that you were pick number 5, how can that possibly be accurate? I try very hard to be buyer friendly. Getting you the exact puppy you're looking for is my goal. For this reason you can accept or reject my puppy offer. This is why puppy pick number isn't guaranteed until puppies are on the ground. After puppies are whelped (born), you are given a guaranteed pick number.
From time to time we have an adoptable full grown dog. These dogs are fully house trained and sometimes field trained. Please don't hesitate to ask about availability.
Best dog trainers in Texas.
Tell them Sharon of Wing And A Prayer sent you! I do not receive one dollar from these trainers or breeder referral commission. These trainers are on my website because I believe in their program and vouch for their care of dogs.
There IS however one dog trainer that is BANNED from ever training a WAAP puppy (if I have anything to do with it). I will NOT give out that name unless you personally have already taken home a puppy from me. This trainer is out of state. He is a horrible human being who abuses dogs. That's all I'll say.
Perfection Kennels is the #1 training kennel in the nation. Send them your dog or buy their resources to train your puppy yourself.
Perfection Kennels South is a Texas based training kennel, a subsidiary of Perfection Kennels. Their dogs in training are in air-conditioned, heated kennels. In fact, the temp inside their huge indoor/outdoor kennel is 73 degrees in the heat of summer. If there were an ice storm during winter that resulted in a power outage, they have back up generators for heat. I can't tell you how much I love Ryan Johnson!

Obedience training, hands down the #1 trainer in TX is James Hamm Lonestardogtrainer.com Your puppy is training 100% of the time. He keeps only a few pups training at once.
Buck Henderson of Backyard Training kennels, Dallas. He's a preacher man and will NOT lie to you. I've been sending him my bred by puppies to him for many years. He's absolutely amazing.
Sharon,
When do I send a puppy to training? Have that conversation with the trainer you choose.
When your puppy is in your hands, start calling trainers. It's possible you can get on their books 6 months in advance. The really good trainers are booked in advanced.
