Next litter tentatively planned for fall/winter 2024

WE PARTICIPATE IN AKC AND NAVHDA HUNT TESTS AND AKC CONFORMATION SHOWS

We believe Wirehaired Pointing Griffon breeders should be actively involved in activities such as hunt tests and conformation dog shows.  We enjoy these activities and the opportunity to see other Griffs in the field and the show ring.    We are very proud that our hunting dogs can hold their own in the show ring.  Correct conformation is critical to field performance.  Show dogs are generally comfortable with being handled, with being in crowds of people and dogs, with traveling long distances and staying in hotels.  These things make dogs great traveling companions.

WE WILL REGISTER YOUR PUPPY WITH BOTH AKC AND NAVHDA.

WE ARE MEMBERS OF NAVHDA AND FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE BLACK HILLS CHAPTER.

We believe that the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association is the best way to test young dogs' natural hunting ability.  NAVHDA provides an objective test environment that encourages the success of each pup and its handler.  Are tests exactly the same as hunting wild birds in the field?  Probably not.  But the Natural Ability test provides a reliable method of measuring a pup's hunting potential, which is critical to breeders' evaluations of their breeding programs.

We believe breeders need to possess an understanding of the history of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and the breed standard.  Breeding decisions should be made with the breed standard and the history of the breed in mind. 

Please see the History and Breed Standard page of our website.  

We believe breeders should have an understanding of canine genetics.   A breeder should be able to explain why he or she chose to make a certain match. 

We do not breed just to produce puppies to sell.  When we make the investment of time, energy, and money in a breeding, we'll want to keep a puppy from the litter for ourselves.
