Help!!!!

We would like to see this breed remain a HEALTHY one.

As a Kennel Club registered breed club we are home to the official Breed Health Co-ordinator. That's why we are compiling a report to identify any emerging health issues.

We have been asked in particular if any of the following have been seen:
Eye problems
Hip/Elbow dysplacia
Epilepsy/seizures
Liver issues
Heart problems

Please tell us your experience by dm and, if you are happy to do so, the breed lines of the dog affected. Confidentiality is assured.

Your answers will help to keep the breed as healthy as possible.

A fabulous day yesterday at our 'Have a go with your Griff' training sessions with trainer Chris Guest. The weather was kind and the rain held off to just before the end which was great! Thank you to all who came, it really was a great day. Everyone and the dogs enjoyed the training, meeting new people, supporting each other and got new ideas and techniques to use, which is what it is about. A lovely group of people morning and afternoon sharing their stories about their dogs and having fun. Thank you to Chris for supporting us in being able to put this training on and to our own human dummy thrower 😄Dean for his help and support on the day.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

The Griffs have a new Breed Notes editor!!

Jeanne Walker, who knows a lot about showing dogs, has been invited (and accepted) the mantle for Our Dogs.

Jeanne said: "I have just started a new job for OUR DOGS Canine Dog Paper. I will be your representative for the Korthals Griffon and for receiving all your Dog Show placings each week, as long as you send them to me. They can then go into the Breed Notes each week. Show wins, breed club news, general news on the breed, Open and Champ Show placings please. The deadline for me is 10am on a Monday so please send your details in, well before to get them typed up on time."

**REMINDER** to those searching for a PUPPY KG… the club will help you find a RESPONSIBLE breeder.
We love how much interest we get from people asking when a litter will be available. However we understand that the wait for this due to the limited responsible breeding in the U.K. can be a while.
Please, when searching for a puppy and making your decision you do your CHECKS carefully on the responsibility that breeders are taking. Make sure that the parents are not too closely related, check that claims of achievement are valid, where possible check on the dam and sire and any health records available.

The club will always be willing to answer any questions and share information or offer advice whenever required. Please ensure you do your research and set yourself up for the best possible addition to your family. They’re worth the wait! 🤎🤍

Feel free to post puppy pics on this post ⬇️

Kipp is looking for a new home.
Kipp is a neutered, nearly 7 year old KG male with a great personality, immense loyalty and intelligence. He is energetic and needs around 2 hours of exercise per day with 50% of that off the lead. He loves being with people, especially the ones that he has bonded with, which takes a while at his speed. Kipp is house/crate trained and lives with a lovely family in East Sussex.
However, Kipp has several issues, separation anxiety, distressed and destructive if left alone, excited with other dogs so far as to hump them, will disappear if not kept on top of, hates the Vets and has to be muzzled/sedated.
The owners have found that since having their first child, they do not have the time to keep up the training, exercise, program, needs and relationship that Kipp demands. They have thought long and hard over the last 4 months since first contacting me at Rescue, but feel that rehoming to someone who has more time to invest in Kipp would be the best solution for him.
Below are several images and I have a full appraisal of Kipp for anyone interested in taking on this lovely looking KG. I would recommend that only experienced KG owners or HPR owners would be suitable.
If of interest please contact me at [email protected]
