Route 4 Farms

Route 4 Farms Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Breeder We are a Korthals USA Preservation Breeder that raise, train, and hunt over Wirehaired Pointing Griffons.

Our mission is to produce exceptional upland bird and waterfowl hunting dogs emphasizing health, temperament, and conformation. This is accomplished through selective breeding and validated through testing.

- Sires and dams must hold a hunting title through the North America Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA), and/or American Kennel Club (AKC), and/or United Kennel Club (UKC).

- Full

health clearance are certified through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) on both sire and dam.

- Our dams have their structure and temperament independently confirmed to the breed standard through the UKC. Ruka, Zari, and Bo have retired from our breeding program. Three litters from Ruka and Bo earned NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeder's Awards; our fourth from a stud dog placed in Massachusetts.

Zartan aka Tzar.

You can’t see it but Tzar was placing his paws on the crate door which is unacceptable. Before they are released (or we pet them outside of the crate) they must have four on the floor.

We go thru these exercises until the puppy is with us mentally. Physical cues we look for are lip licking (be nice to me), a yawn (I am learning) and eye contact (what do you want from me).

A sit and eye contact are mandatory before they are let out of their crate or kennel.

Dottie the Hottie has the more typical beginners attitude.

It is difficult to film and have good timing. It sounds like I slammed the crate door closed a time or two, and if I did, that was not the intent.

I think the point of this exercise is to get their attentention by meeting them with gentle resistance. Eventually Dottie settled down nicely.

El Sukre’ is 10 weeks old and is currently working on the Method Mindset.

No barking. No whining. Just relaxing.

Command lead, agility course, and the trained retrieve will be worked on this afternoon.

Today we started exposure to the command lead, crate, and bumper (paint roller). Very short sessions.
