Ethical Breeding,
Hands-on Training.
I focus on ethical breeding in my family-run business. Demand and deposits are reviewed before breeding to ensure each litter showcases the strengths and weaknesses of both the father and mother. This approach supports the mother's health and aims to produce top-quality hunting dogs. Outside studs are carefully chosen to ensure they meet Tumbleweed standards and full pedigrees are always available.
At Tumbleweed Outfitters, selected starter puppies are perfect for those new to hunting dogs. We provide tailored training for all ages, focusing on obedience, socialization, and hunting skills to strengthen your bond with your dog. Our dedicated training sessions are ready to assist you at every stage, from puppies to experienced companions.
Interested? Deposits are being accepted for upcoming litters.

Brief History:
The German Shorthaired Pointer:
German hunters spent generations crossing various breeds until they perfected this versatile bird dog sometime in the 1800s. They were so successful that, to this day, GSPs are among the top-winning breeds in competitive hunting events.
The German bird-dog tradition dates to at least the 1700s, with master breeders experimenting with tracking hound–pointing dog crosses in the quest for a quick but powerful hunter possessing plenty of nose and versatility. It comes as no surprise to learn that a key player in the early development of this breed of noble bearing was himself a nobleman, Prince Albrecht zu Solms-Braunfels.
The prince and his fellow enthusiasts succeeded beyond their wildest imaginings in creating a do-it-all hunting dog. Here, a breed historian ticks off the GSP’s credentials: “a staunchly pointing bird dog; a keen-nosed night trailer; a proven duck dog; a natural retriever on land or water, with pleasing conformation and markings, and great powers of endurance; and an intelligent family watchdog and companion.”
The GSP has been hunted with success on a variety of quarry: gamebirds, possum, rabbit, raccoon, and even deer. With his webbed feet and sleek but sturdy construction, the GSP burnishes his résumé as one of dogdom’s finest swimmers.
