North Kinnick Griffons

Angela and I are excited to be able to say we’ve been awarded with the Natural Ability Breeders Award from NAVHDA.

Etta and RJ produced a wonderful litter of pups that have grown into proven dogs in the field. One of our biggest goals was to place them with families that would hunt and do outdoor activities with their puppy. We’ve been extremely happy with everyone and couldn’t feel better about how everything played out in the end.

We had a special training day this afternoon with Pete and RJ! It was fun getting the pups together with their daddy! L-R Gordy, Jackson, RJ and Emmy.

Hard to believe the puppies have been at their forever homes for six weeks now! We thought it would be great to show some of the pictures of them as they continue to grow.

The pairing of Etta and RJ really produced some beautiful, well tempered and smart puppies. We love seeing them and hearing about their development.

BIRD AND GUN INTRODUCTION

This is a very crucial program that sets the state for your pups future in hunting. Our program is designed to bring out as much bird desire in your pup as possible. We begin teaching your pup how to use his/her nose on dead birds and clipped wings; then onto flushing live game. We properly introduce gun fire while working on your pups “place”.

The pups are doing well and we can already see them growing! Etta is doing a wonderful job and doesn’t venture far from her little pups!

Yesterday proved to be a busy, but very successful day! Etta gave birth to 5 female and 4 male Griffons! 7 of the 9 really took after Etta’s coat, as they really only have liver spots at the beginning of their tail area. We’re in love with these little pups!!

We’re excited to announce we’re officially expecting puppies at the end of July! We were able to see a few little puppies at Etta’s ultrasound this past weekend.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in talking about buying one of Etta and RJ’s pups, let us know! I’ve included a few pictures of Etta as a pup, so you can see how cute they are!!

Update time!

Etta went into heat on May 2nd. Over the past 3 weeks, we had her progesterone levels checked about every 5-7 days. Last Wednesday, the vet called and said she finally was ready for breeding!

We’re happy to announce we were able to have a successful tie with RJ on Thursday and Friday! I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. So in about 30 days, we’ll take her in for an ultrasound, to confirm if the breeding was successful.
