Where's your griff coming from? Mine has turned out to be just like what I researched about griffs on the net so I'm super happy about that but after being on a couple of different griff face book pages for some time, it sure seems like there's a fair bit of discrepancy with their coats and size. Seems like a lot of monster size griffs coming from some breeders in the States and some shed more than you'd expect. Mine pup came from the third breeding of two dogs so I pretty much knew what I was getting based on all the previous females from the first two litters right from the get go. I'll definitely get another griff down the road one day,,,,great dogs!
On another note, last year in late November we had a meet and greet griff day at Tynehead Park in Surrey and I think there will be another one this year. 10-11 griffs were there,,,,was a lot of fun. It would give you an idea what you'll end up with when it comes to this species of bird dog although I'm not sure how many of the group of dogs that showed up are hunted.
