We live in the farmlands of Idaho. We are a family including 5 kids, animals, and always bird dogs. We have been owned by English Pointers, Setters and GSHs. Each earned a place in our hearts. Our ultimate bird dog would be an instinctual hunter, trainable, and mostly a great family dog and connected companion, with an easy care, low shedding coat. Now we can share our secret we found the package deal in the funny Griffon. Enjoy our pictures and stories. Christy and Elliott

The Handy Man
So we had a guy come work on our house for a bit. I keep the Griffs in an outside run about 30 foot by 200 feet long during the day when we are at work. It is fenced with 4 1/2 foot high hogwire and a top pole. Now mind you this is an honorary system. The dogs can freely jump over and out however our handy man didnt know that. So the Griffs were not impressed as a whole when this random guy showed up, and they carried on mightily, their rugged good looks might be confused with scary mean dogs. The handyman tells me he is thinking I can make freinds or because they are safely contained in that kennel I can ignore and walk about like I belong here. Then he watches as Twister our acrobat easily walks along the top pole. Then he sees Chrome jump outside the run and jump in the canal get a drink then hop back in. Next day he brought dog biscuits with him.
Even if the gate is left open the dogs know they are expected to stay in that area until we are home. It works 97 % of the time. The other 3% is Griffon clowning around.
