PAT resulted in few surprises and a very balanced litter, confident, well structured, great temperaments. 8 out of 8 pups chased and then retrieved an object to tester. 8 out of 8 pups demonstrated puppy points with quail wing with 4 of those pups bringing the quail wing to the tester, in addition to the normal retrieve evaluation. (Click on thumbnail to the left for a full size photo.) All accepted social dominance without issue. Personalities are clear at this point and we'll be sending out our recommendations which in reality is not much different than the selections of the owners first choice in most cases. As in last years litter, the majority are going to experienced Brittany owners who want a close working gun dog. 2 - 4 pups will be NAVHDA trained/tested, 1 pup will go to a dual home (show and field interests) and ALL are going to QUALITY pet homes with responsible dog owners. It was work today but it was so much fun. Thank you to our ATB seasoned, veteran PAT evaluators - Pam Jackson & Julie Harris! Vet visits for health certificates and puppy shots will occur next week. Pups begin the first day of their life starting on March 9, 2011. Scheduling puppy take home day will coincide with order of pick. The rest of the crew is doing great, Treasure is enjoying time with her pups as playmate and disciplinarian all wrapped up into one. I'm working on a really cool video taken of the pups playing/interacting as the sound effects library plays. OH - someone here at ATB has a birthday this Thursday, March 3rd... Let's just say it is the TRUE ALPHA MALE in all of our lives!!!! Take care and God Bless, g'night all! John, Ann and All Things Brittany.
