Just picked up 9 week old wire haired pointing griffon this weekend. Pup looks great and is getting along well with the labs. He's going to the trainers at the end of July. If I can teach him the basics and not screw him up before then, there could be a productive Kansas/ SD trip in November.

Dogs name is Murphy. I wanted a closer working dog as I'm not as spry as I used to be. I'm not very computer savvy regarding pictures/ photobucket etc. I will try to take some better pics and ask kids how to add them.

Where you sending him?

Also, what exactly is the difference between a wire haired pointing griffon and a German Wirehaired Pointer?

I'm sending him to Rocky Homesley, a long time dog trainer in Cherryville NC. The German Wire Hairs are said to be bigger ranging dogs with a bit more octane. They are similar dogs and the breeder probably makes more difference than the breeds. I got him from a breeder in Axson Ga, Plum Creek Griffons.

From what I've read, they seem a little more lethargic than the GWP/DD's, but I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm excited this board is getting ugly dogs, love reading about them. Congrats

My buddy lived in Idaho and hunted upland game out there. They have to have a dog that works close there because the terrain is so steep. It's pretty much the standard upland game dog in that part of the country, I believe.

2 year bump

Came across your post while looking for reviews of Plum Creek Griffons, I cannot seem to get a reply from him.

How is your dog doing and what are you hunting with him?

Murphy???? Man you're fricking this dog's life up...he'll get picked on by the other dogs, he'll probably need glasses....you're turning him into a beta.
