BLACK WATCH GRIFFONS L.L.C.

Black Watch Griffons is a full-service dog breeder and training facility. We breed the dogs, provide stud dog services, can be hired as a guide dog in the field, and offer obedience and field training for our dogs as well as other pointing breeds. The dogs that we breed are Wirehaired Pointing Griffons. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is the perfect versatile hunter. They hunt both upland and waterfowl, can adjust to most climates, and are dedicated to their owners, making them great family dogs. 

In 2017, we aquired our first Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Russell. Russell went on to be the youngest of his breed to pass the AKC Master Hunter title at just thirteen months old. The AKC Master Hunter title is one of the very few advanced tests a pointer can achieve. Soon after Russell, we purchased our first female Griffon, Arya, who eventually was the second youngest to earn her AKC Master Hunter title in the breed. In such a short time, we have accomplished what others take many more years to complete. We knew we had an opportunity to improve the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon breed by continuing to title, health test, and produce well-rounded hunting dogs not only for ourselves but for others seeking the same fulfillment. We have made it our mission to better the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon breed by testing above the breed standard and breeding griffons with their initial purpose. 

Black Watch Griffons is located in Central Illinois, right in the center of the corn belt, and a great environment for wild bird game. We have experience in training and breeding, including a lot of local resources and tools to help maintain and care for our puppies and dogs. We are located near local hunting and training preserves, which provides the workspace to train your dog to the level of expectation you want in the field. Black Watch Griffons is also located near some of the best in veterinary and reproduction care. We have the University of Illinois Vet Med within a ten-minute drive, and a renown reproductive vet who oversees our stud dog and pregnancy services.
