Hazel, Ellie’s number 1 brace mate in the grouse woods, is here a few days. When she joins the pack it’s like she has been with us the entire time. That awesome Griff temperament.

I always say if you can’t watch them 85% of the time they should be in a crate. I don’t always follow my own advice. This was Aza in 2020…..😂 Her pups go to forever homes this weekend. This is fair warning 😂

Not sure what you did ma. But we’re here to break you outta there!

12 week old Edgewood North Chief, Tito, is one smart pup! There’s a bunch of conditioned response and linkage going on here 🤗. Way to go Tito!!

Did I mention Clancy and Chief were bold pups. First visit to the big dog kennel and at 8 weeks old push straight through the dog door 😳😮 #wpgpuppies #wpgoftheday #gundoghousedoor #uglydoghunting #proplansportingdogs #navhda #versatiledog #birddog #edgewoodgriffons #dogtraining #gundogityourself

Don’t underestimate how early your pups can learn. The intent here is to create a foundation new owners may leverage so their pups greet people with manners. Jumping puppies are adorable, dogs not so much. #puppytrainingtips #edgewoodgriffons #proplansportingdogs #birddogs #wpgpuppies #wpgoftheday #wirehairedpointinggriffons #gundogs #puppymanners #havefunwithyourdog

When does puppy recall start? For us it’s when they can discern sounds. We start weaning pups between 4 and 5 weeks old. Each time food is placed I make three kissing noises. In no time pups recognize the noise and will come running. This is Clancy and a Chief at five weeks old. It’s a classic conditioned response. #puppyenrichment #babybirddogs #navhda #navhdainternational #proplansportingdogs #edgewoodgriffons #gundog #uglydoghunting #wirehairedpointinggriffon #huntingwirehairedpointinggriffons #huntingdogtraining #versatiledog

Chief takes down Clancy in an epic puppy battle 😂 #wirehairedpointinggriffonpuppies #navhda #proplansportingdogs #edgewoodgriffons #babybirddogs #korthalsgriffon

Our pups have always loved the wobble board. I usually bring it out around five weeks of age. Chief is a few days shy of that. Confident pup jumped right up. #puppyenrichment #edgewoodgriffons #wirehairedpointinggriffonpuppies #proplansportingdogs

Introducing Birdie to the ground blind. If you plan on using one next season now is a good time to start training #navhda #navhdatraining #birddog #versatiledog #gundog #goosehunting #duckdogs #rigemright #rigemrightwaterfowl

Great morning working dogs on Wisconsin public land. The pheasants are stocked, but they don’t know it and the dogs don’t care. My buddy and I hunted solo in the morning then teamed up and traded hunts over each others dogs. As you’ll see, he does things a little different then most. Turn your sound on to hear the pack announce their find of a fresh pheasant track. What a hoot hunting with them. I’ll have a new entry when sips of bourbon turn the discussion to great pheasant dogs! #huntingdog #pheasant #birddog #huntinghounds #birddogoftheday #uplanddog #uplandhunting #uplandhuntingdog

Proper and in place. Whose the big guy? That is Blizzard (Griff) from the 12 pack litter. “What a good dog!”

Birdie is doing great with the “hold” portion of her trained retrieve development

Aza needed assurance it was her turn 😂

A sure benefit to having the daughter/trainer home is an orderly pack 😀 Thanks Regan Duffin!

Our Story

We are a family that loves the versatile hunting breeds, in particular the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Our first Griff, Uplands Beast (Rex), came home in 2003. At the time our three daughters were ages 7, 5 and 3. They formed an instant bond with Rex, he became just one of the kids; the wired, hairy one! At the request of the breeder I joined the North Central Wisconsin NAVHDA Chapter, met many great people with the same hunting interests and tested Rex to NA 112 Prize I and UT 176 Prize II. Rex was indeed a beast when it came to upland and waterfowl hunting. He was also a willing participant getting dressed up, or cuddling up with three young girls for a movie.

In 2006 we added Twin Creek Abby. Abby may be the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. Yet, her drive to hunt was (and is) off the charts. Whether it be the grouse woods in Wisconsin, the fields in North Dakota or the big muddy hunting ducks, Abby was full speed ahead.

In 2015 we lost Rex unexpectedly. With the prospect of a having one dog just past her peak I called Gary Engebretson of Firebird Kennels to inquire about a pup from his well known line. I was in luck. Gary had just bred his VC Champions Tommy and Nina and I was able to post a deposit. Enter Firebirds Electra (Ellie) to our family. Ellie fit right in to our lifestyle. She has tested NA Prize III and UT Prize II 192. She has an exceptional medium dense and harsh coat and excels in the grouse woods, the pheasant fields, and retrieving ducks and geese in land or water. When I made a decision to breed Ellie I contacted Gary and he had a perfect pairing in mind with a dog he has trained, Alibi’s Fritz Wiesemann (Fritz). Fritz qualified for the 2019 NAVHDA Invitational with a UT 199 Prize 1. He has a dense and harsh coat and excels in the woods and fields each fall before spending winter as the club guide dog at his Louisiana duck club. We expect the pairing to produce some really great pups and I’m very fortunate to be working with one of the best trainers and Griff breeders in Gary.
