ABOUT KAJ LARSON
Meet Kaj Larson, the renowned owner of Hunt'em Up Kennels, celebrated for producing champion gun dogs with an off-switch. With an impressive track record, Kaj's dogs have achieved remarkable feats, such as winning the prestigious GSPCA Field Dam of the Year in 2021 and earning titles as Field Trial Champions, AKC Champions, and UKC Champions.
Hunt'em Up Kennels is owned and operated by Kaj Larson. Kaj grew up hunting and was chasing birds long before a bird dog was ever involved. After losing a wounded rooster pheasant, he decided he needed a bird dog. Buddy was his first hunting dog. Looking back, Buddy was probably anything but spectacular. However, he was a dream come true for a young boy who wanted a bird dog. Kaj had the opportunity to own and hunt over many breeds of bird dogs since Buddy, but for him it was the German Shorthaired Pointer who stole the show. His passion for the breed led to Hunt'em Up Kennels.
OUR MISSION
At Hunt'em Up Kennels, we specialize in providing exceptional German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs) that are bred to perfection. Led by renowned dog trainer, Kaj Larson, known for producing champion gun dogs, our kennel offers well-bred and proven GSPs that are second to none. We take immense pride in our dogs' achievements, including winning the prestigious GSPCA Field Dam of the Year in 2021 and producing Field Trial Champions.
​​
What sets our GSPs apart is their remarkable versatility as gun dogs. Our dogs possess an actual off switch, making them excellent family companions while maintaining their exceptional hunting abilities. Witnessing our dogs in action is truly a sight to behold. Furthermore, we are proud to have played a pivotal role in breaking the glass ceiling for black GSPs, leading to their recognition by the AKC. While we don't breed for color, we prioritize exceptional hunting skills, incredible temperaments both in and out of the field, and impressive off switches.
