Our breeding philosophy has been shaped by our appreciation and love for the breed which we view as a highly intelligent, talented hunting dog. Every breeder has specific goals, policies and ethics that they follow in their breeding program and breeding philosophy, I hope that by explaining our philosophy about breeding and training, you will understand more about our dedication to the Griffon, the tradition of hunting with a bird dog, and our vision for our bloodline. We use our Griffon's inherent joy and biddability when training. The selected traits include temperament, intelligence, personality, trainability, biddability, cooperation, drive, nose, point, retrieve, water love, run, heart, etc. Keep in mind that we are selecting the kind of Griffon that suits our type of lifestyle, game and terrain.
Griffons train best with positive methods, they work exceptionally well for praise.
In fact, the more you praise your Griffon, the harder they will try to do what you want. We recommend that our Owners be firm, but kind, with their Griffons. Mental Exercise in the form of Training can be a short session a couple times a day, even 3 minutes while you are waiting for an egg to cook is good. Your Griffon will begin to beg you for training, especially if you are having fun and making it fun for your Griffon. When training, Smile at your Griff, it will light their soul on fire.
