Briar Ridge Kennels

For over fifty-five years, Briar Ridge Kennels has been raising Drahthaars. We have developed what we believe to be the finest line of gun dogs for the foot hunter in the United States. We sell Drahthaars all over North and Central, and South America for quail, grouse, pheasant, ducks,dove and woodcocks and some birds in South America that I know little about. 

While our emphasis is on hunting ability and coat, our Dornenberg Drahthaars have the looks you can be proud of.  Most of the pups have roan coloring with liver head and markings.  The males usually run in the 75 to 85 lb. class while the females are generally within the 55 to 65 lb. class.  We raise only hunting Drahthaars, no field trial or "show" type dogs.
