Riz
Stoney Ridge Artemis
Riz, at 14 months old is turning into a hunting machine. Holds point forever. Covers ground gracefully at 200-300 yards. Doesn’t miss much because he has a great pace, very through. Retrieves to hand 85% of time right now. He has a very soft disposition. So training him is a joy.
His extreme desire to please allows him to pickup new technics very quickly. At home he’s happiest carrying a toy around whether inside or outside. Gets along with other dogs very well. Loves taking naps with me in my chair. He truly has been a great addition to our kennel.

Indie
Indie (Riden High Felicia) is out of the first litter of Riz (Stoney Ridge Artemis) and Birdie (Hun Hill Firecracker).
She is truly an all-around versatile hunting dog that excels in a variety of field situations. When working close cover for quail, grouse or pheasant, she generally works 20 to 50 yards showing great connection with her owners and cooperation. However, in chukar and sharp-tail country she regularly ranges out 100 to 250 yards and can go all day long. It is not unusual for her to cover 30 miles on a single, full day hunt and given her “tight feet”, she can hunt this hard multiple days in a row.
Given her excellent nose, she can pick up scent in open country from hundreds of yards away when the conditions are right. She has a beautiful natural point, retrieves to hand, swims willingly and has a very strong desire to please. Her medium dense, medium harsh coat is extremely tight making grooming and field clean up a breeze. When not in the field, Indie loves doing anything with her family and has those fantastic house manners that Griff’s are known for.
Indie stands 21 inches tall and weighs 47 pounds. She completed NAVDHA Natural Ability test with a Prize 1 110 at the 15 months of age.
Gritty
RJ’S Gritty
Gritty is a high-prey drive, three-year old male with heavy Stoneyridge lines owned by Jason Koertge. His nose is otherworldly and he finished the tracking portion of his NA test in just 50 seconds. He runs hard and fast at 350-450 yds in chukar country, automatically adjusting to 30-40 yds in pheasant cover or the grouse woods. He enjoys water work and retrieving ducks. With a handsome point, he naturally honors and does not break, even when expected to hold for over 30 minutes in steep country. Equal parts weapon and lover, Gritty has a dense, harsh, low-maintenance coat with the sweet demeanor of a couch potato. At home, he is never very far away from his owner.
Gritty weighs 55 lbs and stands at XX. He was awarded a Prize 1, 112 in his NAVDHA Natural Abilities Test at 15 months. .

Bree
Hun Hill Carolina Breeze
Bree is a high horsepower big running girl. Her prey drive is off the chart. I own a Garmin Alpha not because they are cool. Lol. As she has come of age, she has come into her own. Currently 5 years old.
When Chukar hunting the only two things that are said all day is fetch and drop. ( Most Days ) When the hunt is over her favorite place is in my chair with me. She has an amazing off switch. Her personality is sweet and gentle. She thinks she’s all that and a bag a chips. When she carriers herself in that manner it just makes you laugh. Anyone have a camera?
