Please join us in congratulating Kira Lajeunesse and Pete Sipperly on their new AKC CHAMPION. Saturday, November 23 2014 at the Central New England Supported Entry in West Springfield, MA. 19 month old Wilson finished his championship with a 4 point major and by going Best of Winners. As his breeders we are especially appreciative of the multitude of help, support, encouragement, training, and assistance which is behind this great accomplishment. It has been a labor of love and great joy to arrive at this moment.
Our FIFTH show champion, Wilson is the son of Bullet and Treasure, 1 of 11 beautiful puppies born April 12, 2012. This litter is the result of our very first line breeding on our own developing line of close working gundogs and marks the beginning of our third generation. We are extremely proud breeders and Wilson has exceeded our greatest expectations, hopes, and dreams.
Wilson was entered in his first show when just 4 months old and won 3rd place in the Brittany Puppy class. His brother and littermate, "BOLTIE" won first place and Best Brittany Puppy. He has always stood out, striking in appearance and graceful in his stride. He finished his AKC Championship title with 3 major wins!!
Wilson is an outstanding bird dog in his own right. He finished his North American Versatile Hunting Dog Natural Ability title with an outstanding Prize 1, 107 NA as a young pup and likewise easily earned his AKC Junior Hunter title. He will continue to train towards a NAVHDA Utility title and an AKC Senior Hunter title. Above all he is well loved and enjoyed by Pete & Kira and is a gorgeous, happy, striking, fun loving and affectionate Brittany boy who will join our breeding program in 2014.
Credit needs to be given to Wilson's owners for believing in him, giving him the opportunity to be trained for both field and ring, and never settling for second best. I believe that confidence is transmitted right down the lead to the dog and in this situation it truly shows. Wilson has been shown to his championship by Kira Lajeunesse, Douglas Tighe, Christine Walker, and Joyce Coccia.
Wilson, like his parents is primarily from hunting lines which only goes to prove once and for all indeed all things are possible. He is third generation for show and field, with his father Bullet being our first show champion and our first senior hunter. His mother Treasure has retired from the show ring but not before quickly earning all her minor show points within the first year of showing, all of them in bred by exhibitor. Treasure has likewise produced many proven bird dogs and otherwise titled Brittanys and consequently the pairing with her and Bullet was a very wise decision. Wilson's grandmother Chrissy is show pointed and was the first dog I took into the ring. Working within our own lines we are confident of the health history behind each animal, more than aware of sound mind and at our own discretion determine which line will continue to grow stronger. It is much safer and wiser to work with animals that we know personally. We find it a very sad state of affairs in lines where little to no bird hunting ability exists with the missing link being an absence of natural ability which gets weaker and weaker with each generation.
Congratulations Pete, Kira, and Wilson!! Love you guys, John & Ann
