Wire Haired Pointing Griffon

If you want a superb reference book with pictures that would make you proud to leave it out on the coffee table, check out Craig Koshyk's book "Pointing Dogs: Volume 1, The Continentals." It's spendy, but it is a fantastic piece of work.

Thanks, I will check that out.
 
OK , so I am convinced, and think I will go with the PP. Any recommendations on breeders? I have found 2 in Canada. Fin Renard in Quebec, and another in Ontario.
 
PP's are excellent dogs. And, I'll admit to being a little biased... My Drahthaar's 'mother line' is the PP...

Keep us in the loop & POST PICS!

Cheers

Don't be afraid to look at kennels in the US as well. Good genetics and proven parents is more important than proximity. It's no big deal to airfreight a pup. The is also a Verein Pudelpointer organization that are as hard core about selection and breeding as VDD is for Drathaars not to be confused with the GWP :)

Two words: Cedarwood Kennels (www.cedarwoodgundogs .com)



Bob produces excellent, consistent quality pups, IMO. He also likely has more PP pups available every year then any other 2 breeders combined. Tell him what you are looking for; he will match you with a great dog.

Question. What kind of money would a versatile breed pup go for? With hounds, you're usually looking at $150- $350 for a pup- even the best bred pup available. Until a hound is raised, trained and proven they aren't overly expensive to buy. Once they are trained and proven, the prices go easily into the thousands and higher. Is it the same for versatile breeds?
 
Look up the North Amercan Pudelpoiner Alliance. They are a group of breeders that include the best kennels in the PP world, they share all of their genetics amongst each other, and you can get a great dog from any of them. My next PP will be from one of their kennels.

My PP is a German (VPP) breeding, not sure if the North American group is still up and running, but it's another option to have a good chance at a quality dog.
