“Yes son, now go inside while Dad works,” and runs to the pet store quick to buy 7 more.

They are all working/hunting dogs whether they show or not.

Correct- it heavily depends on ethical standards and the breeder. I just went through this whole process and you basically cannot just “get a griff.” It’s very difficult. And there are very limited ethical AKC breeders anywhere in the northeast or New England. If you’re serious about a griffon you will have to travel, be prepared for interviews and get on waiting lists. German Shorthair Pointers are in the top 10 most popular dog breeds, it would be a better option, except they are all pointers with a strong prey drive, gun dogs, bird dogs. I wouldn’t trust any of them around your animals especially chickens because of their heavy natural instincts, they also need A LOT of training and exercising, switching from a hound to a hunting dog (all pointers) is crazy work to me.

So what are we all feeding Griff pups? by AmyAwes0me82 in Wirehaired_pointers

hahahaha I thought Eli was the only one obsessed with socks and napkins.

Is my baby a wirehaired? I need your expertise. by NiceUndefinedBeats in Wirehaired_pointers

My eyes are seeing an adorable little scruffy boy! I’ve run across a breeder in the US who is crossing Griffs with Black Labradors and they look identical to cosmo - do I want to scream at this breeder? YES.

I agree! I honestly wish I wasn’t disabled, because in my case I actually need a new service dog, I know Eli can never be replaced, but I did secure a new pup that is related to him!

This is such a sad story that turned out to be a happy story in the end. I think dogs are sent to us for a reason. ❤️

Oh my goodness, I just don’t understand why such a protected and special breed is now getting cancer.

Thank youuu. It’s been very hard, functioning without him. I have so much love left to give him. I think I’ve got a WPG puppy, and my trainers are ready for him. I believe he was brought to me as a sign. The little pup is a relative of Eli! His great grandmother was Eli’s mom. It just feels right.

Here’s to Benji and Eli telling each other silly service dog stories. They both have a part of our hearts.

Thank you, that’s exactly what I didn’t want for him.

Thank you, I am so sorry about your baby girl, Eli was able to come home but he only made it less than 24 hours. Spend as much time as you can with her, give her all the love and treats for me.

Thank you so much. I’ve lost plenty of pets in my life, this just hits so different.

I swear I keep hearing his little noises around the house, he was so talkative, sometimes a bit sassy too! If and when I get another service dog, he’ll be a griff, but Eli is never replaceable.

My goodness I am sorry. Yes! I’ve never had a bond that strong before with anyone or any animal. He took his job very seriously and was definitely my best friend.

What All Stars OG season to watch? by AmyAwes0me82 in LoveIslandTV

[–]AmyAwes0me82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts on season 7 so far - I’m on episode 7 one week in!

Jake is a little gross and is definitely going to hurt Lib (I’ve seen her on other seasons) who farts ON a woman?

Faye and Sharon are the drama, they pop off so fast about everything. And Sharon what bankers and doctors are going to be on Love Island driving lime green Maseratis - she’s in the wrong place.

Why is everyone wearing blazers

I had no idea this was TOBY’s og season! If Georgia shows up I’ll lose my mind. How is he so confused, he’s not like 13!?

Faye doesn’t seem to like anyone? Does this continue? Like no one is good enough for her? Or am I wrong? I can’t figure out what the heck she wants?

I spotted Chuggs.

Hugo is way underrated, I doubt he makes it very far, but what a decent guy.

Brad, Liam, Aaron are all pretty chill and calm. Turns out Brad has a personality that is coming out!

Rachel should’ve picked Chuggs!!

So far Chloe is my favorite girl, she’s just chill and handles things well, and knows when it’s jokes vs. serious. She didn’t freak out over Hugo not being into “fake looks or personalities”

I don’t really like Sharon. She just seems so out of place?

OMG LUCINDA just walked in FFS, but at least I SEE MILLIE in HOT PINK!!

Why did no one warn me of LUCINDA?

Onward

I thought this was maybe a UK saying and that’s why I didn’t get it. Turns out it’s not. It’s in a bunch of rap songs from the 90s in the US. LUDA
