We are very proud to share the news that the beautiful 'Thistle' finished her AKC Championship title in Springfield, Massachusetts at the Thanksgiving Classic. Handled by our dear friend and Thistle's co-owner Julie Harris, she fulfilled the AKC requirments for a champion of record by winning a 3 point major under Judge Houston Clark.
Additionally, on Saturday, J&A's Quiet Courage (Wilson) won his 6-9 month puppy class with competition and brought home his very 1st blue ribbon. This makes two beautiful liver and white pups from Treasure and Bullet's litter to now be actively shown - as well as actively hunted. (Speaking of hunting, I do have a really cool story to share about their brother, Jack, which I will also share soon.) I handled Hemi who won the Amateur Owner Handler class. A fun weekend was made more enjoyable with the debut of Pam and Sam's puppy "Max" in the 4-6 month old class.
I have received several messages saying that my blog posts and musings have been missed. It's been extremely busy here at All Things Brittany this month but that's not really a good reason not to write. Even so, there is a lot of new and exciting things going on for sure and I'll be happy to share more about them as time goes by. We are getting many inquiries into our next planned litters so if you haven't been in touch recently now would be the time to check in with us. I have our ongoing waiting list but it is a good time to confirm your intentions and your level of interest. Looks like we have some very nice hunting families lined up, all of them pet homes, and several families interested in showing and/or trialing, testing, and more. I have to say I am always thankful for the way God brings us all together and this time it is no less amazing in my eyes.
There are 3 litters anticipated with dogs from our lines being involved. This includes a stud service with Jack, a leased litter, and two of our own. I am looking forward to working with all of you who have expressed an interest. This will be the only public posting for the time being in hopes of eliciting responses from those who follow the blog. Our waiting lists are growing and we do have deposits coming in.
I was so pleased to see the wonderful comments left by our ATB 'family' on the Gun Dog Breeders website. http://www.gundogbreeders.com/gun_dog_breeder_reviews/jandabrittanys.html Thank you all so much for helping us promote our purpose driven breeding program, it means a lot. We are honest in our description of our Brittany dogs as well as the years of adult experience we have as breeders. However, it is our ATB family that keeps us accountable and allows us to say with complete pride of ownership that J&A's Brittanys is a program of "Beautiful, well bred Brittany family bird dogs with a proven hunting heritage that measures up to the breed standard regarding movement, appearance, and temperament."
Hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we sure did. Take care and God bless you always, John, Ann, and All Things Brittany
