Slightly older breed than DD but of for the most part, same foundation of rough haired dogs. Griffons had French/Dutch backing while DD are German. Slightly smaller in size and generally not quite as sharp on fur.

2024 Midwest Litter Green River Griffons NAVHDA tested With River’s cycle expected in the coming weeks, we should have pups on the ground just prior to school wrapping up for Summer Break. Both parents live with us, in the house, as member of the family. We chase upland birds and waterfowl here...

My three griffs on the tailgate

Been quiet here for awhile and wanted to get some chatter going. Anyone extend their season and get out West for birds? I spent a week in ND chasing ducks with a few friends the week before pheasant opened up. Got the dogs (griffs) on some grouse when the afternoon called for it.

Intermediate is likely to do it but I would use height and length before weight. Once you get over 25-26 inch at the withers, intermediate might become a bit too cozy.

location?

I pulled all but two and kept hunting. The last two he wouldn’t let me touch and they are still in him. Otherwise having the hemostats in the kit paid off. Vet would have had to cut for those. So he’s on antibiotics and hope they make their way out on their own.

Made the most of a quick trip with the dogs. While we didn’t come home with much, we did find grouse most everywhere we went, whether it was WMA, school land or private. Also had to make a trip to the vet for quills! I’ll be back with others next year.

Not too far from me UplandHntr

I’m at 11 hours from the locales I want to hunt. Hoping when I get there I can find some habitat holding birds.

Looks like I'll be making an 11 hour run West next week out to the Dakotas from IL, the Prairie State with no prairie. Its a toss up between Central ND and Fort Pierre NG. Both take the same amount of travel time. Ive never been to either and would like to get my griffs, especially the puppy...
