Had a Griff for 6 or 7 years now. Couldn’t ask for a better dog.
Hunts well, biddable, great nose, great retriever, good watchdog.
Only bitch would be griff coats are often softer than I think they should be. Pick up briars and detritus. Mine needs stripping pretty regular if she’s not doing it herself busting through brush.
I have 2 , one is soft the other is hard....I use a fork for burrs on the one....the other ones coat is like my gwp…...my gwp is pretty laid back also.....I think a lot of some dogs being so wound up , is the owners own personality , and if they let the dogs run roughshod over them......bob
Yes sir. They seem to be a bit hit and miss, even in the same litter. I’ve seen them harsh and tight and a bit “fluffier”. Never too a point it was a real issue.
As long as they breed to performance, I really don’t give a schit if I have to spend an extra hour every six months with my dog.
When she hunts, she strips her own coat crashing brush. My girls like a D10 dozer in the thick stuff!
