Official AKC National Breed Club and your guide to Wirehaired Pointing Griffons
American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Association....
The AWPGA is a club for the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon enthusiast. We are the AKC parent club for the breed and as such are focused on all aspects of our dog's lives. You will find information on history, hunting, conformation, performance events, health and genetics, and the club itself on these pages. We are a growing club and are always looking to improve ourselves in regards to the club and in protecting the breed we love so much. If you would like a Griffon or are looking to join a group of Griffon fanatics, you've come to the right place.
All levels of experience are welcome since this is a FUN event!
