And here are the mated Parents

TATE

GIFFORD

Tate has been matched to my personal companion of these past nine years, Gifford, and the pairing should be lovely: Tate is a solid hunter, has great field presence and is the most gentle and connected of dams and Gifford is the reason I began this process of sharing what I consider to be a canine companion Par Excellance. He is gentle, but alpha when needed, intuitive and anticipatory, easy to train, low key at home and solidly dedicated in the field. His progeny are among the nicest in the Griff World.

Sure, I am prejudiced, but then so are nearly 50 owners of Gifford's offspring and many of the people who have his grandchildren.

For starters, take a look at Curry, (from Gifford and Tate's mom, Lou - see elsewhere in this Website) whose picture I have added to the "Our Griffons", and who is currently an AKC JR Hunter, a NAVHDA NA Prize holder, an AKC Show Champion, one of the leaders among Griffs in North America for composition show points in 2010, and now, when he is barely 18 months old, one of the first THREE AKC Grand Champions ever. We anticipate great things from the Tate-Gifford match: They will have 3/4ths of the Curry genetic base and the other 1/4th is from Owen, one of the WPG all-time champions and sire of many outstanding litters in North America.

ABOUT TATE: Tate's coat is a gorgeous fully harsh, medium long and dense, the perfect combination this Griff breeder seeks. She about 21.5" tall, 24" long and about 58 lb. She has the classic French look, with moderately full furnishings, a silvery outer coat over a dark liver undercoat and head.

Her field search is intense and steady and she is very gentle and unassuming in the home. Her reluctance for water kept her from an NA prize, a quality more than offset with the water exuberance of Gifford, who bathes three or more times a day, nearly nine months a year. Expect these pups to have solid, muscular and balanced physique, relaxed home countenance and intense field presence.

ABOUT GIFFORD: There is much about Giff throughout this website. See the "Our Griffons" and "At Stud" pages for more about him and to see his classically "Griff" looks.

Tate is looking very much, "with pups," and these pups would whelp sometime between August 18th and 23rd, 2010. And they should be ready for homes in mid-October. Like other litters, priorities for a pup are based entirely on priority of deposit and availablility of pups when placement is due.

 

Demi (Ear Mountains Demi NA P-II)

&

Bullet (Griffe D'Automne Silver Bullet NA P III)

DEMI

BULLET

Blessed with three wonderful, bountiful litters in the past (12, 10, & 13 pups), Demi will have her last litter in late August 2010 and placement will occur around the latter part of October. In the past, Demi has had pups with great family dispositions and solid field performance. Of her two litters, (2008 and 2009) NINE of NINE of her pups tested for NAVHDA NA and all of them prized.

Bullet is a Prize III NA dog with elegant conformation, a solid silver coat, and is the full brother and littermate of Griffe D'Automne Mr Brown (Jacque), the only 2009 NAVHDA Versatile Champion Wirehaired Pointing Griffon in all of North America (see below).

OTHER AVAILABLE LITTERS The litter from Bullet and Duchassier Shiksa has all been placed. We will post other great litters at the "OTHER AVAILABLE LITTERS" Section of this Website.

Litter Information & Pricing:

Placements for most litters will be made on a first deposit, first placed basis and placements will be made to match the pups to the stated preferences of the buyers.

We strive to have pups which are handsome (as Griffons go) and easy to develop their natural abilities to search, point, retrieve and track to produce outstanding field performers. No less so, they should consistently be ideal family dogs and cherished companions. A $300 non-refundable deposit is required, and the deposit will be refunded only if no healthy pup is available for sale at the time pups are ready to be delivered. The balance of payment is due prior to shipment or pickup. Shipment, Transportation Certificates and Crating costs are the expenses of the Buyer. Call or email for information on pricing of one or more of the litters and let us know which litter and the gender you prefer (or must have).

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Pups are typically sold with an AKC Limited Registration which prevents random future breeding and permits our Kennel to support and promote ongoing Wirehaired Pointing Griffon excellence. Pups may be released from Limited Registration upon showing conformation, lack of defects and satisfactory OFA or Pennhip designation, according to the Purchase Agreement.

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Pups may also be purchased with future intent to breed or with an arrangement to have their dog participate in the future of this kennel, provided that conformation, hip structure and absense of any noticable defects are observed. If spaying or neutering is desired, it is our strong recommendation that the pup is at least one year old before the alteration is undertaken to allow the full potential of the dog to develop first.

With more than 90 Ear Mountain Wirehaired Pointing Griffon puppy placements into loving and caring homes as evidence, quality of placement is our watchword. Recently, there has been some criticism of Wirehaired Pointing Griffon kennels deigning to treat puppy sales as “a placement” or “adoption.” Certainly, we appreciate that Wirehaired Pointing Griffon puppies are not human infants. But our expectations that the lives we nurture into existence become cared for and cherished family members is still an important and very achievable goal - without which we would not have a kennel.
