Tucker, the wire haired pointing Griffon, is a Dad!

Scott and I have 2 wire-haired pointing Griffons, Dad, Max, and son, Tucker. If you are a regular at Lost River Outfitters, I'm sure Mr Vivacious, Tucker, has greeted you, perhaps even a little more enthusiastically than you would have expected.
On Max's tenth birthday, June 6th, Max became a grand-pa! On Easter Sunday Tucker bred Windy( sp!), and the result was 9 pups, 5 girls and 4 boys. The dam is owned by Bill Whitaker who works for the Ketchum Ranger District and lives on Gannett Road. Both dogs are AKC and NAVHDA registered, and will have hip and elbow certifications. (Tucker's cert. is in progress, he had to turn 2 before that could be done, but Mark Acker looked at the x-rays and said that his joints look great!)
I will try to see my furry grand-babies today and will take a bunch of pictures, but here are a few to get you started. Note that Griffon pups are born snow-white with only their liver spots and heads, if their heads will be brown, as contrast. As their brown undercoat grows in, the white hair will be the wiry hair.
Griffons are a member of the Versatile Hunting Association. They will point and retrieve, do both upland and waterfowl. They were originally bred to be hunters of fur and feather. They make excellent family pets. They do not do well in a kennel only situation, as they are very dependent on human contact. They are both sensitive and extremely smart. Our older dog, Max, has a huge vocabulary, I'm sure Tucker will be there as well. He is still too busy being playful and and full of mischief.
