We spent last weekend up the Rocky Mountain Front in search of pheasant and grouse. Although we saw a few, we were not lucky enough to bag any. The bird population got hit really hard this May with a 2 foot snow storm which apparently froze hens on their nests with chicks and all. Sad, but nature can be cruel. We finally had the opportunity to meet Greg Curtis with Ear Mountain Griffons in Choteau, Montana. Greg owns the breeding rights to Bullet the male griffon we will be using to breed Fern with. Greg has extensive experience with breeding WPG's and will have the honors of chaperoning Fern and Bullet on their romantic gettaway. Greg told us that Bullet has a lot of white in his coat which will be a nice attribute to bring into the breeding, as Fern's coat is mostly brown.
We are just waiting for Fern to come into heat... It should be any day or week now. Should be a very exciting month, Fern being bred, we are buying a new house and moving, and of course Christmas.
