I retired when our Griff was about two. In the past 45 months we have walked almost 3,500 miles around town. He's well known and well loved all over town. His best friend is probably a rottweiler, we stopped to see him yesterday. They looked at each other and each made little cry noises, let me play with my buddy. In the summer I pack extra water to wet down his fur to cool him off. In the winter I have to put on multiple layers so I stay warm, but he loves the -40 wind chill. Our longest walk was 6 1/4 miles on a shady bike trail. At one point we had walked 1,128 miles in the previous year. I don't know where I would be without him insisting we get our exercise. I don't hunt him, but in town he points birds, squirrels and rabbits all the time. He patrols the yard to keep rabbits out of the garden. As a pup he had a natural zig-zag search pattern. Some of his lineage is large and he was a first litter of only four. So he's exceptionally large for the breed, topping off at 85 pounds. He's gentle with kids and other dogs. Quiet around the house. Takes a nap with my wife. Goofiest thing he does is find worms on the ground after a rain, pick them up in his mouth, carry them to a place where he drops them then he rolls his head and shoulders on them.
The breed was completely developed by Korthals in Germany and is regarded by a kennel club as a German breed. However, the FCI consider this as a French breed which has something to do with the Great War, the time and circumstances and the history of the pedigree of Korthals in Germany. Others regarding the breed as Dutch, German and French. Anyway it really doesn't matter. It is a perfect gun dog beautiful and hard working stunning dog.
@@Adam-bv5kt Yes, Quebec has a few breeders. I bought mine from a breeder here in Illinois that was involved with the breed since the 1960's and am getting my second one from a breeder in Wisconsin. I hunted my 1st one for nearly 13 years. He was super in the field and a real lovable clown at home.
