Meet the Hounds

Tanheath Hounds are housed in a newly built state-of-the-art kennel complete with radiant heated floor and an outdoor play yard. They are well cared for by Kennelman Sawyer Huot and Master of Hounds Darcy Johnson. The kennel is located at 291 Quasset Road in beautiful Pomfret Center, Connecticut. During training and hunt seasons, the hounds are transported to local area land trusts for training in real hunt surroundings. Huntsman John Ryan works with the rest of the Tanheath staff to keep the hounds in top condition for our hunts.

New England
Hounds Show

Tanheath Hounds participates in the annual New England Hounds Show conducted by the MFHA, Master of Fox Hounds Association. Tanheath is a member of the MFHA and looks forward to having our younger generation get involved in working with and showing our hounds. At right is a photo of participation in a past show, and a video of one of the daughter of one of our staff practicing for the show with Cricket, one of Tanheath staff's favorite hounds.

Cupid

With a need for speed and a desire to lead his pack, Cupid is no doubt Master Darcy's favorite. His drive, attitude, and love for attention have also earned him the "soon to be Daddy" title too.

Chase

The Huntsman's favorite hound, Chase is one of a kind. He is always out front looking for the scent.

Chase is goofy, loves to play fetch, and loves anyone who will pay attention to him.

Always out front with her big stride, Chaos loves to hunt. She and Cupid are like bookends in the field and in the kennel. She is a pack leader. Chaos loves to play fetch as well as sunbathing on her bench.

Nectar

A human lover, Nectar thinks she can fit in your pocket and is convinced she can speak to you by looking into your eyes. Nectar likes her job and her pack.

Cindy

Cindy is queen of the zoomies! Cindy is bashful at first until she gets know you, then it's all about the ear scratches and down to business. Cindy loves rolling around in the soft grass and her favorite treat is cheese.

Docket

Docket is quiet and a bit shy, but knows her job. She is a kind, sweet girl that enjoys being a part of the pack. Docket enjoys playing with the tennis balls and naps in the sunshine.

Clifford
