At Salt City Farm, we believe exceptional dogs are built through intentional breeding, thoughtful raising, and honest stewardship of the breed. Our focus is on producing Wirehaired Pointing Griffons with stable temperaments, cooperative intelligence, natural bird ability, and sound structure—dogs equally capable in the field and at home. We prioritize trainability, balanced drive, and healthy, clear-minded companions over extremes or trends. As a small, purpose-driven program, we breed selectively and only when it serves the long-term goals of our line, placing quality above quantity in every decision we make. Puppies are raised with hands-on socialization, early exposure, and a strong foundation designed to help them grow into confident hunting partners, family companions, and lifelong members of the home.
Our Griffons
Foundation First Breeding
Why a Griffon?
The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is often described as the ultimate versatile companion—equally at home in the field, on the trail, and curled up with the family at day’s end. Known for their cooperative nature, intelligence, and desire to work closely with their people, Griffons are exceptional hunting partners without sacrificing their role as devoted family dogs. Their natural versatility allows them to point, retrieve, and adapt across a variety of terrain and conditions, while their affectionate temperament and eagerness to please make them deeply connected companions at home. For active individuals and families seeking a dog with purpose, personality, and heart, the Griffon offers a rare balance of athleticism, trainability, and companionship.
Meet Salt City Gypsy Soul
Foundation female of Salt City Griffons—purposefully selected for temperament, trainability, and natural ability
Gypsy Soul is the heart behind Salt City Griffons and the foundation female of our program. From the beginning, Gypsy stood apart with the qualities we value most in a Griffon—an eager willingness to work, a cooperative nature, balanced intelligence, and a calm, affectionate temperament at home. In the field, she brings natural instinct, drive, and a desire to work closely with her handler, while in everyday life she is deeply connected to her people and thrives as a loyal family companion. More than simply a beautiful representative of the breed, Gypsy embodies the balance we strive to preserve through thoughtful breeding: capable in the field, steady in temperament, and deeply integrated into family life. Her influence will help shape the future of Salt City Griffons and the type of dogs we are committed to producing for years to come.
Pedigree, Performance, & Health
Gypsy was carefully selected not only for her temperament and natural ability, but also for the qualities essential to preserving and improving the breed. She has demonstrated natural instinct and cooperation in the field and continues to develop as both a hunting companion and family dog.
