Claddagh Kennels - New York German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

We bought our first GSP in 1988 and we wouldn't own anything else!  We compete in conformation, hunt tests, obedience and rally, soon to add agility as well.  All of our show dogs hunt.  We would never breed anything that didn't meet the standard for performance and conformation.  All of our dogs live in the house.  We don't breed kennel dogs.   Our dogs are family members. 

Our kennel name is regisered with the AKC and we are AKC Breeders of Merit.

All of our breeding stock are CHIC certified.  They are cleared for hearts (by Doppler echo), eyes (cleared annually), hips and CD.  We are also testing for Lupoid Dermatosis and the Dilute gene.  Our stud dog is also cleared for elbows, vWb and Thyroid.

We don't breed dogs that you need transportation to keep up with.  If you are looking for a nice dog to hunt on foot with or compete in any other venue except field trials, check out our web site:
