Acrobat (Twig) was born in
1991. This was the first litter to be whelped at Griffonpoint,
before we had a kennel name or had educated ourselves about genetics
or about the breed.
As
it happened, luck was with us, and this breeding
"nicked". The pups were consistant and good, and we
did repeat this same breeding in order to produce good quality hunting
dogs.
Twig,
in her youth, was a dynamic hunting partner. Closer working than
some, but quick and energetic in the field. She was a very happy
worker, always a gentle retrieve and thorough search of likely
cover.
Twig contributed her strengths to our breeding program.
