Time marches on and we love the imprint Aux Lakes bred Idaho Outback Brown Chrome had on our Kennel. Chrome is now retired, and still going strong. We are using 2 of his daughters. Chapel and Grace, and his son Towser in our current line up. I have been searching for just the right addition to our dogs and after doing health tests I am happy to say that Butte has come to be our resident male on our little farm. Handy because he is not related to any of our girls. He wont of course be used on all the girls as there is always a plan and a match. I am happy to say we did just breed him to Brave, she will have pups out the door near the first of December. We are super excited to see these 2 should be some gorgeous hunting machines.
Butte came to us from Butte View Kennels out of Reno NV. Becky and John have been raising and showing Griffons for 30 years. Every dog I saw on their place was a lovely example of a Griffon. Butte is no exception. Exactly what I need a very harsh gorgeous coat, 53# keeping the frame smaller which I believe makes for a longer lasting field dog, moves like a dream, literally floats along, steady under noise thunder and gun shot and so far eager to please. His lineage is literally Champions or Grand Champions for 4 generations back on either side of his pedigree.
Here are my first photos of him playing with the girls. He is really cute. Also a couple of Brave that we just paired him to.
