Breeding
Here at Coraschatten, we plan to breed one or two litters each year.  Because of the strict breeding standards for the breed, you can be rest assured that your longhair will hunt.  Our breeding priority is to produce good gundogs with calm, cooperative demeanors.  We are aiming to produce dogs that even a first-time dog owner could train and handle.  Our dogs want to please you and training them should be a joy.    
   
The German Longhaired Pointer Club of North America has very strict breeding standards that we adhere to. Before any dog can be bred, he/she must pass a Natural Ability Test and an Advanced Hunting Test . These tests are held through the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA, www.navhda.org), the Versatile Hunting Dog Federation (www.vhdf.org), the Verein Deutsch Drahthaar (VDD, www.vdd-gna.org) and the JGV-USA (www.jgv-usa.org).  Please see the Training/Testing page on this website for more information.  Longhairs must have a breed judge rate the dog’s type, coat, conformation, and temperament. Finally the hips must be evaluated and rated as "Excellent or Good" through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or Hip Dysplasia-Free (A or B) through the Berlin Hip Certification Organization.

To recap, before German Longhairs can be bred (and subsequently have their litters registered), they must have:

* Passed a natural ability hunt test
* Passed an advanced hunt test
* Good rated coat (minimum)
* Good rated confirmation (min.)
* Good rated type (min.)
* Balanced temperament
* Excellent (A) or Good (B) hips
