Meet the breeder

I'm Nikki S., the breeder behind Rocking S Griffons located in California. Our goal is to expand current American genetics to get more diversity in the breed. We imported Mitch and Umi from the Netherlands. Our dogs have strong natural hunt drives and unbeatable sweet personalities that make for perfect loving family dogs. They are raised with our kids from birth.

Q. & A. with Nikki

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We discovered Griffons over 20 years ago and got our very first girl a few years after that. She was our best hunting, camping and all around family dog for many years. As she grew older, we realized we needed another and discovered the limited availability of the breed in the States. After lots of research we were able to connect with a breeder in Europe and start a program here.

  • What makes your program special?

    We import our bloodlines from Europe and work to improve the genetic diversity of the breed here in the states. European lines of Griffons don't have some of the genetic issues that are in the US. Mitch, our stud, received Best of Breed at the Paris Dog Show, 1st place in Working Class at the Belgian Club Nationals and Excellent in Open Class and Best Eyes at the French Nationals. He is CHIC cert.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
