Our breeding program is structured around the AKC's Breeders' Best Practices. Breeding is not meant for everyone and especially if you do it the most ethical way. We put a lot of effort into producing the perfect dog. Here is a little bit of what goes into the our process.
Both Sire and Dam have tested against proven standards in hunting and conformation.
We will not breed dogs who have lack of proven hunting instincts. Both Sire and Dam have met all recommended health clearances for the breed and turned into OFA with passing CHIC #'s.
The Dam will not be bred before two years of age.
We will not breed to dogs that have failed to meet breed standards or who have disqualifying conformation flaws.
We agree to re-home your dog or take it back if you can no longer care for it.
All puppies are microchipped (AKC Runite), tails docked, de-wormed, and have received the first round of vaccinations before they go home.
All puppies will go through a thorough health check by our vet. Puppies will be registered with AKC and NAVHDA.
Puppies will have AKC limited registration. If you desire full registration, specific commitments are required in addition to these listed here. Guardianship and Co-Ownership homes available to appropriate applicants.
Hunting and testing homes are preferred, but we will consider homes with active lifestyles if we feel it is a perfect fit.
You can find all of this information in our Puppy Purchase Contract (CLICK HERE).

We provide the training tools and resources you need for your new puppy (everything from grooming to health of your pup to gun dog training). Black Watch creates a private Facebook litter page where we provide videos and checklists and provide a safe space to interact with littermates.
Puppies are socialized throughout their 8 weeks with the breeder. Potty training and kenneling overnight begin at 4-5 weeks of age.
Black Watch Griffons LLC is an approved Garmin Dealer. We recommend using Garmin Tracking and Training Collars in your pups training once they reach the appropiate age. We offer a discount on all Garmin products for our puppy people. Products are available to purchase prior to picking up your puppy to avoid the extra cost of shipping.
