Griff's Southern Lady SH NA-1 UT-1 (Cora) has been bred to CH VC HRCH Bachman Bay Immobulus NA-I UT-1 (Sileaux)
Cora is the dog that started it all. She is the definition of a solid foundation bitch of a breeding program. Heat tolerance, and stamina, and an unforgiving amount of desire to find birds. She has excelled in many states throughout the US on upland game from the border of Canada to along the border of Mexico. She has always been a natural on wild upland game. Despite her natural ability to find, point and hold birds for as long as it takes, she possesses a strong desire for the retrieve, land or water with great success on long marks. Cora is the type of dog that is up for whatever the task is, and never hesitates to engage, and dispatch fur.
Cora's progeny is one that speaks for itself. Following in the footsteps of her late grandma "Griff's Greta". She's had 4 litters, and has had 27 puppies tested from 3 different sires, with an average of 108.25 out of the 112 possible points.

About Sileaux:
Sileaux is co-owned by Catrina Terry, a waterfowl biologist with Ducks Unlimited in North Dakota. Sileaux is a lucky dog that gets to join her for biological surveys, hunting upland birds, rabbits, waterfowl, turkeys and blood tracking deer.
Sileaux received a maximum score of 112/112 in his NAVHDA Natural Ability test at only 6 months. He then went on to earn 192/204 and a prize 2 in his NAVHDA utility test at 15 months, both with a first-time trainer/handler. In 2023 Catrina ran him in utility again and received a max score 204 Prize one qualifying him for the 2024 NAVHDA Invitational in Iowa. Sileaux recieved a max score of 200 and his Versatile Champion title (VC) in 2024. Sileaux has been a very biddable and driven dog that’s made training easy and fun. We easily finished him in the AKC conformation ring winning several majors in a row. Sileaux ran in the PNW Field Trial Circuit in the spring of 2023 and was able to get some placements in some tough competition. He also ran in the GWPCA Horseback and was the "reserve" dog at the callbacks for the 45 minute National Amateur championship which is essentially 5th place and very good for such a young dog.
Sileaux is a natural retriever, he loves picking up marks just as much as the Labradors he trains with. Sileaux marks extremely well and doesn't give up on a hunt until he comes up with the bird. He has performed well in retrieving events and received his UKC hunting retriever (HR) title at 15 months old. This test required a double mark and blind on both land and water. Sileaux can go from running a controlled blind with complete focus on the handler to an independent duck search with just a switch of the command. Sileaux completed his hunting retriever champion title (HRCH) in 2024.
While Sileaux is a force to be reckoned with in the field he also has an amazing off switch. He loves accompanying his owner to the office where he snoozes on his dog bed and gets lots of pets and patiently entertains himself inside when the harsh North Dakota winter makes it tough to get out.
Sileaux ran and placed in his first Horseback field trials in fall of 2021 and we cannot wait to see how he performs in the future. His sire Duke is a powerful runner and won the Open GWPCA National championship in 2019. Like his sire, Sileaux has long legs and a strong muscular build and sweet friendly temperament.
Sileaux came from a very nice breeding of National champion field trial lines mixed with some of the best western versatile lines. Sileaux's sire, grandsire and great grandsire were all national GWPCA National Champions. Sileaux's Dam has produced nineteen exceptional puppies, they had an average Natural Ability test score of 109.8/112 points and four of her pups have placed in the German Wirehair Pointer Club of America's National Horseback derby Field Trial (2nd ,3rd place finishes in 2019, 4th place in 2021 and 4th place in 2022). One of her puppies placed first in the GWPCA Puppy Classic in 2022.
If this sounds like this breeding might produce a puppy you'd like to hunt with, please inquire via DM, or Email [email protected]. This being Cora's final litter, priority will go to those that hunt wild game, and willing to test/trial.
