Often asked about the name of the Griffon. What do we call a Griffon?

Mr. Eduard Karel Korthals has been credited with the creation of the breed around 1874 hence the name Korthals. Several versions of the commencement of Mr. Korthals Griffon can be found on the world wide web. We strive to reproduce the Griffon how Mr. Korthals had intended. You may find our Griffons look a bit different then other kennels because we want to keep the breed as intended. If you look at some griffons today and what Mr. Korthals was producing some do not even look like the same breed.

The purpose of a griffon is to hunt. And hunt they do. If you are looking for a show dog we are not the breeders for you. We show most of our breeding stock on a very limited showing in order to obtain their conformation championship. Conformation is important as a well put together dog will go a lot longer than one that is not. We tend to show less and less because our dogs resemble more of the Korthals Griffons which are becoming less apparent as as time goes on. Often our dogs will look different and smaller than others, with tight harsh coats. However, they are the correct size and type. Our griffons are bred for hunting not show as Mr. Korthals intended :)

Producing versatile hunting dogs for serious hunters is our passion and joy. Meeting so many great friends over the years has enriched our lives. Every Griffon that leaves our home is special. Our Griffons are used for Upland, Waterfowl, Tracking, Fur, Search and Rescue and Therapy. Proven hunting dogs selected from the best European French stock. Pageska puppies are now only bred with PAGESKA owned dogs therefore all dogs we breed we know first hand.
