Wirehaired Pointing Griffons

[Andrew Clark]

Hello everyone, I am looking for any leads on a breeder that deals with the wirehaired griffons. Anybody have any reliable leads I would really appreciate the info. Thanks in advance! Andy

Andy, Contact any NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Assoc) member. They should give you names of breeders in the NE. I am no longer a member, but I think Bill Murphy knows some of them. I had GWPs for years, and used to meet lots of Griffon owners at NAVHDA trials.
Happy New Year!

Andrew,
If you go to NAVHDA's website-www.navhda.org, you can search their database for litter registrations for the year to come up with WPG breeders, you can also check the Breeder Awards ( regular and Invitational) for those breeders whose litters did well in the years tests, and test scores. This information goes back several years so you should be able to come up with a line of dogs that has a proven track record. You can do this by individual breed to narrow your search to WPGs.
Good Luck
Tim

Thank you everyone for the timely, and great advice. I will follow up on these leads and keep you informed on how it goes. Andy

Good luck. My Wirehair, Eva, is from a NAVDHA litter. Yup, contact your local chapter for information.

I have had one for 8 years. Great dog for upland and waterfowl. Extreme cold weather dog. I bought from North Star Kennel in Kalamazoo, MI. I have another on order from him now. I have two other friends that bought here and are very pleased.

My good friend Mitchell has a great looking and performing Griffon from Wind Dancer Retrievers (winddancerretrievers.com) check them out.
He just got back from Kansas with George and had a successful trip.

Thanks again everyone for the advice and quick responses! I will post back my progress.

Mickey Murphy from Lyndon VT, Green Mountain Griffons.

Werden is his new safety vest, with his tongue sticking out. This dog is a hoot!

[Bill Murphy]

You guys are bringing a lot of stress to my life. I am only weeks from losing my Wirehair and I am starting to plan for the future at 72 years old.

Bill, I do apologize if my posts are painful due to Eva's recent passing. I will refrain out of respect for you. I understand the feeling of losing your best friend.

It's been quite a while since I checked in, but here are some pictures of the progress (& growth) of Werden my WHPG. Though we didn't have much luck in the woodcock, he is still learning he can't crowd them to much, he is doing well in the pheasant fields on his first day out. Nice points and great retrieves! He will be a year on the 27th of this month.

[John Campbell]

My late friend Reagan would approve. I start every season with her. She even helps point my Westley Richards a bit better.

[Bill Murphy]

Those Wirehairs sure do make retrieving a great game. I couldn't hide enough crap in my house or in my yard to give Eva any hard time. She would keep going until she brought me everything that wasn't tied down and some stuff that was tied down. Congratulations on your new pup.
