the Foundation
Fernwood Piper Rose and Fernwood Scout’s Honor are the heart and soul of our program. With their outstanding pedigrees, proven temperaments, and classic German Shorthaired Pointer spirit, they set the standard for everything we aim to achieve. Every Fernwood puppy begins with the strength, heart, and legacy of these two exceptional dogs.

Scout is the spark behind Fernwood’s adventurous spirit. With his striking black roan coat and boundless energy, he embodies the drive, athleticism, and joyful personality that make German Shorthaired Pointers so beloved. Whether he’s coursing through the fields or curled up at your feet, Scout is always present, always ready, always true. His intelligence, loyalty, and natural charisma are the cornerstones of the next generation of Fernwood dogs.
Gentle, wise, and endlessly devoted, Piper is the heart of Fernwood Pointers. With her rich liver-and-white coat and soft, intelligent eyes, she brings a calm confidence to every room she enters. Piper is an exceptional companion in the field and a gentle soul at home—patient with children, loyal to her people, and deeply intuitive. Her steadiness, keen instincts, and affectionate nature are traits we are proud to pass on to every one of her puppies.
