True and Piper enjoyed an unexpected treat yesterday by way of running over on the training grounds of Greys Outfitting.  Garret Booth invited John to join him in the afternoon.  Piper needs some specific fine tuning and it's always good to get another trainers advice.  True on the other hand literally went along for the ride.  

I was really blessed this morning to see the larger photo of True posted on Facebook along with the following comment written by Garret: "This is True Short from J&A Brittanys. What an incredible dog. Head high points, great class in his run, and all hunt. GREAT WORK JOHN AND ANN. True came to visit with John Short from J&A - no training needed folks. What an honor to see a great dog work hard and really do his owner right."

It has been a recent pleasure to finally meet Garret personally who has trained 3 J&A Brittany dogs owned by others.  We met due in part to his friendship with Bob P., self proclaimed owner of the 'Best Brittany in The World', "Remi" who is out of Jack and Chrissy.  Bob and his family also own 'Boog' who is full brother to True.  "Max" who is another Jack puppy with Molly, and well loved by his owner Mark K., was also trained with Garret.  Folks who want their Brittanys trained for hunting often ask for our recommendations.  Other than my recommendation to work with John, we are always happy to suggest other trainers we believe share philosphies that are similar to ours. And it makes us very proud when those same trainers complement our dogs based on their interaction and observation of them in the field. Such as what Garret said about True. That's an opinion we highly value for sure.

Hope you enjoy seeing the two photos above of my True puppy who is now 19 months old.  Isn't he something?  Take care and God bless, John, Ann and All Things Brittany

(Emphasis on my because John needs to remember this next time he thinks about stealing True from me! Just kidding, I wouldn't have it any other way - John prepared and trained True for his true purpose in life and will continue to pursue a Senior Hunting title with our boy along with the same for Jack and Bullet this fall. We're looking at some field trials and hunt tests and I am looking to have some fun playing in the ring with True soon!)
