Why Finn River...
"Finn River" is blend of Sweet Blue's Strawberry River (aka River) and Sweet Blue's Huckleberry Finn (aka Finn)...Ryan's two dogs. Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, or simply "Griffs", came into Ryan's life years ago, in the form of Windmill's Snake River Bridge (aka Bridger, pictured here), and he has never looked back. Loving, faithful, fantastic hunters, and the most trustworthy of companions, Finn and River set the tone for how we operate:
Always on point...
Finn...
