GOT BIRD DOGS?
Congratulations to the owners and handlers who participated with dogs from our program at this weekend's hunt test. We are so very proud of each and every one of you and your Brittany. There were two other beautiful hunting Brits from our program, Boog and Remi, who I did not get a picture of but they also tested at the senior level. Taking the focus very briefly away from Treasure and Bullet's beautiful pups, we just wanted to share how the weekend went. John & Ann

This boy is a bird finding, hard working, knows what he's here for kind of bird dog. I know HE IS NOT kiddin' me whether there's a bird there or not - it's just up to me to try to find and flush it for him! Three solid finds and steady to flush and shot, 2 under judgement, and the other one while I was trying to call him back afterwards! |
Sweet Little Benny Pup
 |
| J & As Intrepid Benedict Of Deer Cove - 12 months Sire: J&A's Soaring White Sequoia of Acton "Scooby" Dam: KJ's Ramblin' Molly Rose When the hunt test was announced Wayne said he'd be away. Barb said that was okay, she'd handle him. Like many of us this weekend, it was the first time she'd even been to one. Benny excelled with Barbs handling and came home with his first leg towards an AKC Junior Hunter title. Last but definitely not least - Thistle the Pistol (No, we're NOT kiddin'!)  Sire: Multi BIS & BISS GCH Tonan-Hopes RU Kiddin' Me "Chevy" Dam: J&A's Heartfelt Legend of Acton "Pippin" Thistle..you never know what to expect with Thistle but she's sure to leave you laughing in the end! Julie hurt herself earlier this year and her recovery meant very little if any time in the field with Bullet or Thistle. Not quite knowing what to expect by entering Thistle in the hunt test - everyone was thrilled when Thistle not only earned her first leg towards an AKC Junior Hunter title - but her second one as well. In two days. At 11 months of age. Thistle already has 6 points towards her AKC Bench Championship. Congrats Julie!!! NEWS FROM HILLS BRITTANYS
Paul & Dawn HillDawn emailed to say that Jack's grandson "Blaze" now has qualified towards his AKC Junior Hunter title. He's another youngster who knows all about being a bird dog! Congratulations to Paul & Dawn and to Blaze's owners.
Sire: CH Hill's Blazen' Jack
Dam: Hills Catchen' the Wind JH "Bailey"
Bailey is full sister/littermate to Bullet and in her own right is an outstanding bird hunting machine. Bailey, a daughter of our JackDog, was 4th money dog in the American Brittany Club 2010 Gun Dog Futurity and has many significant field placements . Like her brother Bullet, in addition to her JH, the sweet Miss Bailey bug is also field and show pointed. It's truly all in the family - Blazes father is also Pippin's father.
We are truly blessed to have established such wonderful relationships with others who are focused upon the Brittany as a close working family hunting dog while supporting the dual concept of the breed. We are assured of preserving the strong, natural hunting instincts and beautiful retrieving and honoring skills which they all demonstrate at an early age.
Thank you for your interest and support, God bless you and yours - John, Ann and ATB
