BLACK WATCH GRIFFONS L.L.C.

Striving for Excellence in the Field, in the Ring, and at Home

Articles and Publications

Writing for publications allows Black Watch Griffons to contribute to a wider sporting dog community as we strive to produce a high quality hunting dog, and it also allows us to share our training and accomplishments along the way. By publicizing our practice, we are revalidating our mission to test against higher standards of the breed.

AKC Field Trials

Black Watch Griffons- The Viking Litter designed by CKC GCH Narvik De La Plume D'Argent CGN WDJ FD and Black Watch Queen of the Hebrides SH MH. Black Watch Go Ahead Make My Day "Wesson" has placed 6 times in an AKC All-Breed Walking Derby stakes this Spring and is being awarded by the Field Trial Clubs of Illinois - FTCI for his amazing accomplishments! This litter produced some beautiful field dogs.

Black Watch Griffons- The Royal Litter designed by CKC CH Prince Des Roches De Vouise FDJ WDJ and Grungydog's Princess of Winterfell SH MH. Black Watch Finnegan has proven to follow in his mom's footsteps.

These individual dogs and their owners deserve the recognition in what it takes to nurture these instincts and their leadership to train the athletes that they are. Black Watch Griffons will continue to hold the working standard to a higher level and show forth that the "proof is in the pudding", regardless of what recognition we might or might not get. The goal in our breeding program is to preserve their hunting desire and AKC Field Trials are a century old way of testing the dogs desire in the USA. A Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is capable of doing it all.
