Trooper is a sire we started using in 2022. He is owned by Joe Mix. Joe has owned and trained griffs for over 30 years and had the first NAVHDA Versatile Champion griffon in "94". Trooper is a double bred "De Jac's" dog which aligns well with ours. On the top side of Trooper's pedigree is VC Stonyridge Gracey as a grandam. She was a full sib to our Gretta.

He has a great maintenance free coat that was scored medium dense, harsh, around mid length. He has a nice dark head with good furnishings. Trooper tested NA 112 prize 1, UT 188 prize 1 and ran at the Invitational with a 163 no-pass. He is 23 1/2" tall weighing around 60lbs.
