Meet the breeder
I'm Jim C., the breeder behind Agassiz Wirehaired Pointing Griffons located in Flagstaff, AZ. Our puppies are provided with the best start possible from meticulous choosing of mates to puppy/human/dog socialization, exposure to birds/water/forest fields, full suite of exams/micro-chipping and first vaccinations. This gives them the greatest chance at success, whether that be as a family pet, in the competition ring, as a hunting dog, or all of the above!
Q. & A. with Jim
Why did you start breeding?
Early on, the examples of breed improvement and the pathways towards that improvement were revealed via my discovery of NAVHDA years ago... after getting my first "gundog".. It became a passion to give back and participate in working with good breeders to make more (and even better) dogs so that more folks could love the kind of dogs I had been gifted. So... I combined breeding for my own use with an occasional breeding that would accomplish making great dogs for my own use and sharing same with others.What makes your program special?
I don't think of my program as "special", but merely the way things should be done... breeding decisions guided solely by studying performance and health records that go back many generations.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are chestnut and gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
About Val
Whelped from NAVHDA Breeder Award stock, Valkyrie (Val) is an active and affectionate girl whose two favorite things are hunting and being next to her people. She earned her Natural Ability Prize I score at an early age and is currently in training for next level "Gun Dog" testing to be followed by "Utility". Structure and coat and temperament are everything I look for in a family dog that has strong hunting drive combining with a desire to please.

+5My family’s experience has been nothing but positive and our puppy is everything we had wanted. She is just an excellent family/hunting dog. She loves kids, visitors and spending time with her family. I have had the pleasure to meet some of her siblings and family in the field and they are all impressive hunters—Jim just breeds special dogs. I also want to add that he is very knowledgeable and always willing to provide advice and information. We feel really lucky to have found his kennel and I would highly recommend getting a dog from him.
