Up N'Adam Kennels,Reg.

Up N'Adam Kennels, Reg. breeds German shorthaired pointers in Washington Depot, Connecticut, in the Litchfield Hills near New Haven. Katie Tazza has been raising pointers for over a decade, maintaining American kennel club registration and completing routine health screenings for hips, elbows and eyes.

Puppies are raised in the home alongside adult dogs and children, with daily outings across five acres of fenced fields to build confidence and strong hunting instincts. Her approach centers on early socialization, consistent positive reinforcement and a gradual introduction to water retrieves.

Litter sizes usually range from eight to ten, and each puppy leaves with a health record, vaccination history and lifetime support from the breeder. Past litters have produced puppies that placed well in regional field events, reflecting the kennel’s commitment to functional hunting ability. Testimonials note their calm temperaments and eagerness to learn, traits that Katie encourages with regular one-on-one training sessions.
