Welcome to The Scotia Kennel
The Scotia Kennel is a breeder of German Wirehaired Pointers. As our name implies, The Scotia Kennel was named after our family heritage, my mother was almost entirely Scottish, and my father’s family emigrated from England to Nova Scotia, which means, “New Scotland” in Latin. Our Scotiadawgs are raised with intention, blending affection and structure to create confident companions and capable working dogs.

We breed rarely and place carefully. Add your name to the waitlist and we will reach out when the right puppy is on the way.
Good things are worth the wait.
We breed rarely and with intention. There are no litters planned right now. When we do plan one, our puppies are placed carefully with the right families. The surest way to hear first is to join the waitlist.
Hi, I’m Laura Reeves.
This is a breed created to do many jobs. I strive to retain that work ethic in all my dogs, bred and raised to be sensible and kind.
A second-generation breeder, I started with my family in the ’70s with field-trial Labradors, later Clumber Spaniels and finally the German Wirehaired Pointer. The Scotia Kennel has been my life’s work ever since.

Is a German Wirehaired Pointer right for you?
We would rather help you find the right breed than place a puppy in the wrong home. Here is the straight talk.
✓ You will love a GWP if
- You are active: hiking, hunting, running or dog sports.
- You want a velcro dog that bonds closely to its family.
- You enjoy a smart, biddable problem-solver.
- You can offer daily physical and mental work.
- You are ready for a 12 to 14 year commitment.
! Maybe reconsider if
- You want a low-energy, low-maintenance couch dog.
- You are away from home for long stretches most days.
- You would rather not manage a strong prey drive.
- The wiry, weather-resistant coat’s grooming is not for you.
- You prefer an aloof, independent breed.
