J&A's Brittanys - 1st Day Photos (Timeless Treasures Litter)


The beautiful puppies of Bullet & Holly Beth are now in the loving homes of their new families.  These are the photos taken on the 'first day of the rest of their lives.'  I am humble, thankful, and grateful for how God works to weave lives together.  Here are their 'first day' photos. 
Here is Star (now Monroe) on the morning he went home on a live quail. 
He's staying in Maine and will be an experienced Brittany bird hunting home, and trained
also for hunt tests, NAVHDA and more!  Loved by Dan, Lisa, and family.
We didn't get their picture with him we were too focused on showing him work a bird!

Dude (now Charlie) with his happy new family Chris, Cathy, and Kayla.  He'll be on the Cape loving his active
outdoor family and also will be seen at hunt tests next year. We  met Cathy and some of her family at a spring hunt test when they were first beginning their search for a new puppy.  No strangers to the sporting breed, they have had Vizslas in the past.  Welcome to the ATB family! 


Polly was our keeper puppy from this litter until we decided who was staying here. Can't keep them all but knew we needed a very special home for her where she will be kept active. Timing was perfect for our friends and part of the ATB family, Apple & Linda who have been hurting from the passing of their 13 year old Brittany (Jack's sister).  Polly will be hunted, be seen in hunt tests, and even introduced to dock diving in this experienced Brittany family. 
We'll be involved in her training and her name will remain Polly.

Here's Beth who is now Bailey!  Speaking of Bailey, this is Dakota who is Bullet AND Bailey's full sister and littermate. She'll be hunted in the fall and enjoy being an active family companion and hanging with her aunt Dakota in CT.and
greatly  loved by John and Cherie who have been in the ATB family since 2008.
  When they got Dakota 10 years ago their kids were so young - now they are both in college! 

Dolly is seen with her very happy new owner, Sarah.  Her new name is Sage and she's going to live a wonderful life in New Brunswick with her very active farm family.  Sarah and Jason lost a beloved Brittany that they got from us in past years so Miss Sage is bringing Brittany joy back into tall their lives.  When we met this special couple they had no children. 
Now this ATB family has  two sons aged 10 and 4. 
Sage will hunt  upland game, waterfowl, and also ice fish, snowmobile, camp and more!

Momma Holly Beth joined in for the family photo! You  can tell everyone is very happy about Sophie. Already part of the ATB family,  Dan, Kristie and boys have great plans for their new puppy including introducing her to her half brother Boltie who is also her uncle.  Go figure that out LOL!  Bolt is out of Treasure and Bullet.
An active hunting family, showing may be in Sophies future too.    

Ended up that the day L.J. went home it was also this young ladies birthday!  We hadn't planned it that way but how cool is that?!  Already part of the  ATB family Suzanne and Stratis also brought Charlie with them. He is Holly Beth's full brother out of the same litter of Treasure and Hemi.  L.J. is now named Basil and he's going to be a hunting dog like his uncle. An added note, Basil will most likely have some get togethers with littermate Mo (Hardy) who lives nearby.  

 John and Patty already share their home with Miss Mojo (Bullet x Treasure) pictured here.  Legend who is now Moxie will live nearby and I expect we will be in the field training together from time to time.  We're blessed by the friendship of this special couple but also appreciate that John is a respected longtime veterinarian in the area who now has 2 J&A's Brittanys.

I have really enjoyed getting to know this young couple who have welcomed "Mo" into their lives as Hardy.  He's already made himself at home in Joe and Melissa's lives and also their hearts. An extremely active, outdoorsy couple, Hardy is going to love all the opportunities he'll have to enjoy life to the fullest!  Field training will begin shortly and Joe is an experienced bird hunter. Hardy will most likely spend some time with his brother Basil. Welcome to the ATB family!

Another photo of Star (Monroe).  I loved this pup, I loved them all but if I were going to keep a boy from this litter, he is the one who could have most persuaded me. I say this because his personality so reminded me of his grandfather, JackDog.  I don't have pictures of him with Dan and Lisa  on the day he went home. We enjoyed playing with the quail though!  John and I were happily surprised to learn Lisa is the daughter of a friend we haven't seen in years. Welcome to the ATB family!
