SHIRLEY WITH HER PAINTINGS

Shirley Flinn is the owner of Owen (AM CAN CH, BIS CDX,RNCL OWEN DES DUNES DU CAPTALAT FDJ), an outstanding and highly successful Griffon and the sire for three past Ear Mountain litters. Owen has the distinction of being one of only five Griffons in all of North America to ever obtain the distinction of being a "Best in Show." Shirley was so dedicated in her pursuit of Griffon Excellence that she traveled to France and bought Owen there.

She has been involved with Wirehaired Pointing Griffons since 1989. Over the years, she has participated in many venues of purebred dog activities, such as hunting and hunting tests, obedience trials, conformation dog shows, rally obedience, agility training, and tracking training. In her opinion, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is able to compete in all these venues and do very well. I value her vast knowledge of the breed, breed standards and pedigree lineage and excellence.

Shirley has traveled all over North America and to Europe to learn more about these Griffons. Her passion for this breed is to see that Griffons remain as Korthals, the breed’s original designer, intended them to be. The hunting instinct, temperament, trainability, health and conformation are all equally important and to lose one of these traits would alter and perhaps cause failure of Griffon’s original purpose as a walking person’s hunting companion.

Shirley has visited the Ear Mountain Griffon kennel several times and has spent time with Greg. She personally knows each of the Ear Mountain dogs and she believes that he shares her passion for the breed and that he is doing his utmost to produce consistently outstanding Griffons. She is always available to talk about the Griffons and can be reached at: (403) 782-2967.

You may also wish to talk with Shirley about her oil paining and her fantastic ability to capture the images of animals and people on canvas.

I have other WPG Officianados, current owners and fellow hunters who may be available for reference, if you like. Please let me know and I can make them available.
