Konkel's Griffs

Konkel's Griffs is a wirehaired pointing griffon breeder in Fairchild, WI, serving Eau Claire County and the Chippewa Valley near Eau Claire. Jim Konkel has been developing litters for several years and participates in national pointing dog association activities, while ensuring each adult is screened for hip, elbow, and eye health. Puppies are raised in the family home alongside household routines, with early exposure to indoor and outdoor environments, gentle handling, and basic obedience introduced before they join their new households.

Adult griffons enjoy daily field outings in wooded landscapes, where they refine their natural pointing and retrieving instincts under controlled conditions and family supervision. Several dogs from Konkel’s Griffs have entered regional field trials, reflecting a line known for steady performance rather than flashy showmanship. Owners often comment on the breed’s balanced temperament, versatile working ability, and readiness to form close bonds, qualities that align with the breeder’s focus on companionship as well as field aptitude.
