ALL THINGS HOLLY 

Without a doubt John believes sweet Holly-Beth is quite possibly be the most outstanding gundog in our program.  That is truly saying a lot. At 8 months old Holly's natural hunting ability was tested through the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Asociation (NAVHDA). In New York, Holly was the only dog during the entire 2 day test weekend to receive a NA Prize 1 score! She quickly earned her AKC Junior Hunter title at a young age with an average score of 10!

Holly also has 5 adult AKC field trial placements to her credit including a 1st place 4 point major win. (She also has one American Field adult gundog placement to her credit as well.) Holly is a recipient of the AKC Achiever Dog award. Holly's greatest accomplishments are 
successful Maine bird hunting seasons where she has hunted pheasant, woodcock, and
grouse. Both playful and serious, she lives to be in the field where she really turns it on. She's an honest bird dog that takes her hunting job seriously. 

When Holly detects scent she quickly and confidently establishes a beautiful, stylish point that can be trusted. When hunting with other dogs, she has good manners and will naturally back them. Holly is steady to flush, wing, shot, and fall and makes bird hunting fun.

Holly is a very sweet and affectionate dog who melts the heart of all who know and love her. At home she is a lap dog who loves to be with her human and canine family and is extremely affectionate and entertaining, as a Brittany should be! Holly, 5½ years old, is liver and white like her mother Treasure and is from Treasure's final litter (and Hemi’s first of several). She is a mini-me of her mother, our beloved Treasure, who passed away recently.

In the summer of 2018 Holly had a litter of 10 beautiful puppies sired by Jack’s son, Bullet (CH J & A’s High Caliber Harris Special SH). Then, one year later, Holly was surgically inseminated with frozen semen from Jack resulting in 9 incredible puppies.  Most all pups from both litters are in active hunting families. They each possess sweet dispositions  are extremely agile and intelligent, and of course possess strong natural instincts. Several are working on or have already earned titles!
