Quotes I Like

“The desire in an exceptional pup is like a rare young wine, kegged from a proven vineyard. Nurture it slowly to perfection and it will pleasure the years. Tap it prematurely, and you will squander it’s bouquet in infancy”.
Mike Gaddis

A Fiesty Little Hunting Dog "The Brittany...a dog that has won the hearts of countless generations of bird hunters and their families. Equally at home pointing woodcock on the soft ground of New England aldar thickets and scenting chuckar partridge on the swirling wilds of rocky, western mountains, the Brittany is first and foremost - A GUN DOG!"David Webb

"Pedigree indicates what the animal should be. Conformation indicates what the animal appears to be. But performance indicates what the animal actually is." Anonymous
