Henri and Nancy Tuthill
A popular metaphor in dogs we often hear is “in it to win it”
What best describes us is “In it for the long haul” the recent pandemic has been a trial to the dog community, but it’s also been a realization we are committed to preserving our gene pool no matter the circum- stances. We have a dedicated group of team members who enjoy our pointers in all aspects of dog ownership from beloved pets to wonder- ful hunting and successful show dogs.
Our present collaboration with our friends and co-breeders Darrell and Amy Crate started when Darrell purchased his lifelong companion and exceptional gun dog “Larry” in 1999. After several family pets, Dar- rell and Amy became involved in not only showing but breeding sev- eral litters and champions here with Team Cumbrian in the last decade. Amy and Darrell have been a huge influence in channeling enthusiasm and revitalizing our interest in continuing to breed outstanding point- ers culminating with our combined efforts to attain the Top Breeder and Top Sire awards in 2019.
We are proud of our accomplishments in the past 54 years. American Pointer Club Top Breeders 2019
