REFERRALS & EXPERTS of Wirehaird Pointing Griffons Also internationally called Korthals Griffons FROM
OF CORNVILLE, ARIZONA
Our local trainer and Griffon dog expert has long been Philip Parsneau, now retired. For 30 years, he lived in Western Montana until he moved to Choteau in 2004. All four of the adult Griffons of the Kennel were purchased through Phil and he has watched, trained and even tested these dogs from the kennel, in AKC and NAVHDA hunting tests. Phil has actively and energetically participated in the puppy process here and has trained some of the pups out of our litters. This last September, Phil's Dog, Jacque (Griffe D'Automne Mr Brown) obtained first a Prize I UPT and then, just a couple weeks later, a Prize I Utility Test Score. What is remarkable is that Jacque was only 21 months old and his UT was a perfect 204 point score. And in September of 2009, Jacque became the only new Griffon in North America to achieve the title of a NAVHDA VERSATILE CHAMPION at the Invitational in Ohio. Jacque is a full brother and littermate to our Bullet (Griffe D'Automne Silver Bullet), seen elsewhere in this Website. Phil has traveled throughout the Northwest and the Midwest with dogs and personally knows many of the Griffon kennels and breeders that have produced pups throughout the past 30 years. He has also trained and hunted with other pointers, including Brittanies, Spinonis, Vislas, Weimaraners and German Shorthairs and Wirehairs. He has hunted over all of the adults in our kennel and can give you information on their respective hunt, dispositional and general characteristics. He will be able to field both general questions about the "Why" of a Griffon as well as detailed information about our own dogs and the puppies which are here or the likely characteristics of the puppies we are anticipating. Just call for connection information. I have other WPG Officianados, current owners and fellow hunters who may be available for reference, if you like. Please let me know and I can make them available.
