I'M ROB SWIETER, THE PROUD OWNER OF PRAIRIE FIRE KENNELS, LOCATED IN AMES, IOWA. WHILE MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER IS ROOTED IN AGRICULTURE, MY TRUE PASSION IS SPENDING DAYS AFIELD HUNTING BEHIND MY GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS. I ALSO FIND IMMENSE JOY IN PERSONALLY TRAINING AND HANDLING MY DOGS IN NAVHDA TESTS, A DEEPLY FULFILLING ENDEAVOR THAT REFLECTS MY COMMITMENT TO MY LINE AND THE GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER BREED. IN ADDITION TO MY PURSUITS IN DOG BREEDING, I'VE PROUDLY SERVED IN THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD SINCE 2005, ADDING A UNIQUE DIMENSION TO MY LIFE.

 

AT PRAIRIE FIRE KENNELS, OUR MISSION IS TO METICULOUSLY BREED GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTERS WITH PROVEN GENETICS, EMBODYING TRUE VERSATILITY AND EXHIBITING EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE. COLLABORATING CLOSELY WITH CLYDE & MARILYN VETTER OF SHARP SHOOTER'S KENNEL, WE EMPLOY A DELIBERATE LINEBREEDING APPROACH TO PRESERVE THE EXCEPTIONAL TRAITS THAT DEFINE THE RENOWNED SHARP SHOOTER'S LINE.

 

OUR DEDICATION TO GENETICS AND PERFORMANCE EXTENDS FAR BEYOND THE FIELD, SHOWCASING A GENUINE LOVE FOR THE GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER BREED. WELCOME TO PRAIRIE FIRE KENNELS, WHERE OUR COMMITMENT TO PRODUCING VERSATILE, HIGH-PERFORMING DOGS IS A TESTAMENT TO THE PASSION AND EXPERTISE THAT DEFINE OUR BREEDING PHILOSOPHY.
