ATB Bird Dogs: Jack Puppy - BIRD DOG

 

 

This is Bullet and Treasure's puppy, "Jack".  Although he and his grandfather share the same name, this Jack puppy is named in honor of a very special Brittany named "Jake" who has passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. We knew that little Jack puppy would have some pretty big shoes to fill but according to his owners, Dan and Joanne, he is more than meeting their expectations without taking the place of his namesake.  (Interestingly enough, Jake and Jack both share the same ancestry.  And I discovered the same is true with Dan and I!)   Anyway, Dan recently went to Newport ME with Jack grouse and woodcock hunting for 4 days...They put up 4 woodcock, 3  which he evidently pointed and the one that was shot Jack located.  Then, on another day, a mutual friend (who owns a a Brittany out of Treasure and Gibson) accompanied Dan pheasant hunting... The first pheasant Jack pointed was a runner.   "Phil helped direct Jack when the bird moved 3 times and he went on point each time he reached the bird. Phil said on Jack’s second point “that was a beautiful point.” On the third point Dan got beside Jack and the bird flushed and he shot. Later he pointed another cock pheasant, held steady and then found the bird after shot. Dan was very impressed with him staying close and on point. According to Dan, “Jack was amazing for a 6 month old puppy" and is doing well".  And Dan?  I understand he is very, very happy with his new puppy.  (Thanks Joanne!) 

 

And this update makes me very, very happy as well in consideration of the fact that this puppy (like several others we have posted here) are from our very first line breeding using Brittanys exclusively from our program - Treasure and Bullet.   Way to go little Jack, you're proving not only your own abilities, but the consistency of several generations behind you!! To God be the glory.
