Versatility Hunters!

Bird season has ended this past Monday. Of course pheasents were over DEC 30th. This was right before Christmas.  Cade and Chrome took these guys within 5 miles of the house.  Chrome is a confident and fearless hunter, full of 2 year old exuberence, still so much nicer to work with than  the young shorthair we were also working that day.  The 2 dogs had an early squabble then they both turned all about bird business. 
Chrome did bump some mule deer and was in hot pursuit.  Remember these guys were bred as versatility hunters.... still after some enthusiastic yelling Chrome affably returned with that Griff Grin that said he was just doing a little jogging.... All in all a great day for everyone.

So I will ramble today.  I sell a lot of Griffons to Labrador People.  I know why... a Lab is a classic hunting dog.  Every country boy either owned one or their Granddad owned one.  They are tied to memories of ducks, and first shotguns, and slobbery kisses.  They are found in every back yard, some well bred, lots just bred. 

But there are a few dreamers out there... that imagine there must be other dog breeds out there that fit my life style and that don't bore me to tears.  Griffons are notorious for being a family freindly, athletic, hunting dog.  Though the gene pool isn't as large, our breed has been well protected by breeders who screen hips, health... ability and overall temperment.  A rambunctious look coupled with low maintainance coat.  Comical temperment, thoughtful yet exuberent.  If your gonna dream.... Dream BIG! Christy
