Ascent Griffons

Ascent Griffons We breed and hunt Wirehaired Pointing Griffon puppies. Ascent Griffons was founded in 2020 with our first dog ‘Stonyridge Locked and Loaded’ or “Gus” for short.

We then added ‘Ascents Faith’ and ‘Ascents Lucy’ shortly after that. While our dogs are young we are long on experience. We have 31 years (a lifetime for me) of experience with our partner Trinity Bretons which is run by my dad and brother. Driven by a love of dogs and hunting we decided to put that experience to work for ourselves and to give our children the same experience we had. Love for hunt

ing both upland game and waterfowl paired with a desire for a great family dog led us to the versatile hunting and hypoallergenic Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. We love their natural drive for birds, retrieving, the water, and their love for people and look forward to many days in the field, at the lake, and in the house!

Didn’t get any pictures of the hunt but we had a great day. Gus had about ten points in a couple hours. Sky came up alongside and pointed most with him. Pheasant tenderloins is our family favorite, accompanied by smoked elk loin and our first fire of the season. The pheasant legs were no good (any recipes out there)?

We often get asked if our dogs will waterfowl. Here’s Ascent’s Charlotte aka “Daisy” chasing down geese at 6 months old with her owner Devon Brutty. Fantastic looking pup and a fantastic home!

On Friday we experienced a terrible tragedy when Willow was run over by a truck. I/we am still very much in shock. Those of you who met her know how much of a sweetie she was, along with being a phenomenal hunting dog. She was everything I could have ever asked for in a family hunting dog. We are totally devastated. Somehow I never even considered that I wouldn’t have at least another decade with her. It’s hard to stop thinking about what you could have done different, how you could have appreciated her more, just a million thoughts running through your head. Please be praying for us as we struggle to find joy and peace in the immediate aftermath.

Check out Ascent’s Annie aka ‘Millie.’ Out of our A litter from Gus and Faith. That pairing has produced some pups with incredible bird drive and natural pointing ability. She is owned by Witte Reiter and Morgan Grosely who have done a wonderful job keeping us updated with photos and videos.

Willow and I sharing a moment of understanding…both pregnant and feeling that way. These dogs are so intuitive in their ability to relate with people and in the field. Proud to be a part of this breed family.

Doesn’t matter if you can throw 3 feet or 30 this guy will play fetch all day!

As a mom and hunter this breed has impressed me. They’re great in the field and at home. They’re a big part of our family and our lifestyle and I love that it can be that way.

A great morning with some very cherished people and dogs.
