Lookout Kennels 'formerly known as Ripsnorters Kennel', represents 30 years of breeding quality dual purpose German Wirehaired Pointers, but it also represents more to the owners. Lookout Kennels came about with the union of another great team James and Helen Witt. Jim and Helen wanted to start something new; they wanted this new kennel to represent the years of dedication that Helen has put to the breed as Ripsnorter Kennels, which over the years as become one of the most respected names in the breed, as well as all the plans they have for their bright future.

This future became a little brighter when Jim Witt picked out the future star of Lookout Kennels, GCh. Ripsnorter's Mt. View Lookout "Scout". What started out as a hunting and six-wheeling buddy turned into one of the top stars of the breed. Scout depicts the 'The Standard' with his exceptional type, conformation, outstanding movement and coat. The Witt's along with co-owner Joyce Wilkinson  began to put together a team to campaign Scout. They looked for integrity, stamina, determination and talent. This search led them to Frank Murphy, Rhanda Glenn and Kiki Courtelis.

Since the beginning of "Team Lookout" Scout has become a serious contender in the Sporting Group and Best In Show Competition with many BIS and Specialty wins. But that is just the beginning of a luxurious career for Scout because we can already see the exceptional stars coming from his progeny.

The Future is Bright for Lookout Kennels.
