About Us :
Roughrider Kennel is a small family-owned NAVHDA registered kennel. We are located in the heart of North Dakota pheasant country in Bismarck. For the past twenty years, we have trained and hunted retrievers, mostly Chessies. But, it is the hunting, training and breeding of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon(WPG) that has become our passion.
We thank Gilbert Tremblay and Renee Fortier of Elevage du Bourg-Royal for providing us with our first Griffon pup who has changed our lives forever. Bourg-Royal is a leader among the many quality WPG kennels located in Quebec.
That young pup, Bourg-Royal's Roughrider Teddy, has developed into the perfect combination of family member and hunting dynamo. We are avid waterfowl and upland game bird enthusiasts. We hunt across the plains and sloughs of the Dakotas from September until January. The WPG's versatility and tenacity is the perfect combination for the variety of terrain, cover, climate and game being pursued. In the off season Teddy lives for training days and time spent with the family.
Roughrider's Teddy was also responsible for us jumping into the world of NAVHDA, with both feet. As current President of the Central Dakota chapter of NAVHDA, Dan really enjoys his time spent in the training field with friends of the versatile breeds.
