Looking for a hunting Griff breeder
I currently have a Griff that is 5 years old and wanted to start looking at different kennels for the next member of my family.
I have met some great Griff owners, but it seems as though they do breed for the show ring with a side of hunting. My current Griff came from a hunting kennel, but I would like to look elsewhere. I have seen some great dogs that do both show and hunt, but I'm looking more for a dog that has great hunting instincts.
Looking for some help...

The only ones I know are from Alibi kennels. Nice dogs and have done well in our hunt test. Talk to Pat Loomis she might know of some more and she has a litter on the ground now. I'll check around for more though.

I'd call John Arkins at Spruce Creek Kennels in MT. I found him helpful when I wanted to know more about Griffs. Also check out the versatile dogs forum, tons of hunting griff folks over there.

Try Joe Mix in Grand Rapids , Minnesota Joe has some fine Griffs that are hard hunted on ruffed grouse, woodcock, and ducks. 1-218-327-1521

I second the versatile dog forum, lots of woolie fans and breeder there.

Re: Looking for a hunting Griff breeder
Check out Aux Lake Kennel in Bellevue, KS. Larry is a great guy and will answer any questions you have. Email larrywoodward@msn.com or call him 785 four56 two437. He is active in NAVHDA and hunts his dogs.
Re: Looking for a hunting Griff breeder
Larry is a great guy, will be training with him soon. I got my griff from Stellar Vista kennels in MO, Jamie Kuhn and Brian While from WI put out some great dogs also.
Re: Looking for a hunting Griff breeder
I'll also jump in and recommend Larry at Aux Lake Kennel. He's trained multiple NAVHDA VCs and as High Voltage said he's a great guy.

Re: Looking for a hunting Griff breeder
The Heartland NAVHDA chapter held it's test this weekend and there were 7 Griffs tested! 5 out of 10 NA dogs on Saturday and 2 UPT on Sunday. Jay was there from SwitchGrass running one of his pups and a pup of his from Aux Lake. There was a couple with a pup from Jay at SwitchGrass too. All of the Griff NA pups prized. It was great to watch these pups work. They did a very good job under dry conditions and high winds that kept changing directions.
