A little bit of history of the Breed in the UK
"The Korthals Griffon was first introduced to the UK in 2000 by Mark Taylor who went on to breed out of his Radipole kennel based in Dorset. Mark was closely followed by Sue Hanson (Roclaire) who was the next to bring the KG into the country from France in 2001 - and so it began. Mark and Sue together with Jon Roberts (Sanjons) went on to establish the first KC registered breed club in 2004 working hard to promote the working side of this brilliantly versatile HPR.
The Korthals Griffons UK Working Group was established back in 2018 by Mark Taylor, Sue Hanson, Sue Wagstaff and Matt Lewis out of a desire to help and encourage the increasing numbers of Griffon owners into the working side of the breed which was shown to be dropping off in favour of keeping them purely as pets. The focus at that time was mostly on the show ring. The group is striving to protect the breed standard, type and purpose for which these dogs were bred for whilst filling the gap for training and working events to see the breed return to its working origins in the UK.
This is a vigorous, robust dog of workmanlike, natural appearance. It’s a medium size dog with a harsh coat. It should have a well-developed moustache and beard which gives it its characteristic expression of firmness and assurance. The coat colour should be steel grey with liver brown patches, solid liver, liver roan, liver brown with white hairs. Dogs are 55-60 cms and Bitches 50-55 cms "
