Daniel was an excellent person to work with. He answered all my questions, which were numerous, and was very responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. He was also honest and very helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Griffons Out West for your next puppy!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
