ATB: Just for Fun - Field Trial Placements

The J&A's Brittanys mission statement found on the home page of our website includes these words: "...Brittany family bird dogs with a proven hunting heritage that measures up to the breed standard regarding health, appearance, movement, and temperament."   We are not actively involved with the sport of field trialing but still wanted to acknowledge dogs associated with our breeding program who have earned placements.

We understand the importance of "proving a breeding program" in regards to health, temperament, hunting ability, measuring up to the breed standard, and more. We have a page on our website for anyone interested in our titled dogs.  (Several of our crew are dual pointed, having points in both show and field, but we're not going to camp there.) We have proven to produce the kind of dog we want to produce. Over and over again. But it's not in what we say it is in what those who share their lives with our dogs have to say.  Here is a link to some of those testimonials.

There are times we will enter a field trial to support our club or encourage a new puppy owner to have some fun and make up their own mind about trialing.  We are all about being true to "old time Brittany grouse bloodlines." Our close working gundogs should remind someone of when their grandpa took them out bird hunting with a Brittany. Anything else an owner might desire to do with their dog is greatly appreciated and is like frosting on the cake, an added benefit to an already obtained outcome!

There is a link immediately following the dogs name to an exceptional data base.  NAVHDA also has a very impressive data base as well with all of their titled dogs.
