Objective and Purpose: To promote cooperation and friendship among the breeders and owners of Brittanys and to encourage higher standards in breeding, training and showing of Brittanys in the field and in the show ring; to discourage the breed from becoming split into groups of “field dogs” and “show dogs” and to strive to keep it forever a “dual dog”.

hUDSON VALLEyAmsterdam, NyMarch 5, 2016

Morning Show Hudson Valley Solo Specialties were held Saturday, March 5, 2016 at a wonderful facility, in Amsterdam New York, called Working Dog’s NY. We had exhibitors from ME, CT, MA, NY, NJ, PA. With the generosity and hard work of HVBC club members, we had amazing hospitality and a successful raffle table, along with the HVBC store, which was run and organized with the incredible creativity of Lindsey Putnam. Our trophies throughout the day were beautifully selected and put together by Patricia Ellis & Karen Lovell. We started out with Sweepstakes, with judge Ms. Dianne Tyree, who had a great line up of puppies to select from. For Best Puppy Sweepstakes, she selected Hope’s If Not Now When, handled by owner Cynthia Short and Best of Opposite Sex In Sweepstakes went to Hope’s Fore On The Floor, handled by owner Sandra Malloy. Her Best in Veteran Sweepstakes went to GCH Hope’s Dream Weaver handled by owner Karen Pillon Schramm. On to the Breed judging. Our judge Mrs. Lynn Flynn made sure she gave her attention to each and every exhibitor and their dogs. She selected Dubois Ridge Super Sonic WD, handled by Robin Prouty and owned by Henry R. Dubois III, RWD was Hope’s Fore On The Floor handled by owner Sandra Malloy. Her WB, owned by John Swider and handled by Douglas Tighe, was Top Shelf’s Point Taken and RWB was Swift River’s Golden Opportunity, owned by Joyce Golden and handled by Robin Prouty. For her Best of Breed competition Mrs. Flynn had several outstanding dogs and bitches to choose from in the specials class as well as the non-regular classes. She selected GCH Hope’s Exceeding The Speed Limit CDX for BOB, owned by Nancy Hewitt and Douglas Tighe and handled by Douglas Tighe. She selected Dubois Ridge Super Sonic for BOW owned by Henry R. Dubois III and handled by Robin Prouty. She selected CH Saradac’s Smokin’ Blanca Tatanka BOS owned by Jane Bjork and Dorothy Boyatzi, handled by Jane Bjork.

Owner handler Series Show In between our two shows Hudson Valley had a very special event. Our thoughts were to try to include those who own Brittanys to be able to participate at a Brittany event. Thanks to the organization from Sue Janowski and Lindsey Putnam. Hudson Valley Brittany Club invited all the rescue

people in the area to attend. Our thanks to the many exhibitors and members who helped with a grooming session with them, so they could after have a parade of Rescues, and a short story of their rescue. After each of their parades around the ring, they were awarded a Rosette, with Champions of the Heart proudly displayed on them. This was the highlight of the day, and as each of their stories were told, it brought tears to many of those who watched on.

Afternoon Show After everyone was able to enjoy the Hospitality that was available and get their dogs ready again, the next Specialty started with Breed judge Mrs. Elaine Lessig who had the same beautiful group of dogs that was entered in the morning show. The judging started out with our same Winners Dog and Winners Bitch from the morning; WD was Dubois Ridge Super Sonic, handled by Robin Prouty and owned by Henry R. Dubois III, RWD was Top Shelf’s The Chosen one JH, NA NAJ handled by Douglas Tighe and owned by Wendy Archinal. Her WB, owned by John Swider and handled by Douglas Tighe, was Top Shelf’s Point Taken and RWB was SwiftRiver’s On Eagles’ Wings handled by owner Karen Lovell. The Best of Breed competition was the same outstanding line up, in which Mrs. Lessig selected GCH Hope’s Exceeding The Speed Limit CDX for BOB, owned by Nancy Hewitt & Douglas Tighe and handled by Douglas Tighe. Her BOS was WB owned by John Swider and handled by Douglas Tighe, Top Shelf’s Point Taken. She selected GCH Tonan-Magicbrit In The Leather as Select Dog and Best Owner Handled, handled by his owner Sandy Malloy. Select Bitch went to CH Hope’s I Can’t Drive 55 owned by Douglas Tighe, handled by Natasha Harris. Award of Merit was earned by CH Saradac’s Smokin’ Blanca Tatanka owned by Jane Bjork and Dorothy Boyatzi, handled by Jane Bjork. We know what made these events so successful was all the support from all of you…..Thank youTony & Nancy Morabito

Spring has finally sprung in the east and a great time for a specialty show. A late afternoon ring time, we started with our Puppy Sweeps judged by Constance Holts. There were three puppy dogs and five puppy bitches. From the 9-12 month puppy dog class came our Best in Puppy Sweeps, Hill’s Catch The Spirit and from the 9-12 month puppy bitch class was our Best of Opposite in Sweeps, Hill’s A Touch Of Class. Best in Veteran Sweeps from the over 7 and under 10 class was GCH Millette’s Sweep Memories BN JH AX AXJ NF NAP NJP CGX. There was not a Best of Opposite Veteran. The regular breed classes judged by Sheila Smith began shortly after sweeps. There was a nice entry of 12 dogs, 11 bitches, 2 veteran bitches and 5 male specials. Winners Dog was Dupois Ridge Super Sonic and Reserve was Top Shelf’s The Chosen One JH NA NAJ NF. Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best BBE/Grp 3 was Jaci’s I Want Proof and Reserve was Hill’s A Touch Of Class. Best of Breed was GCH Hope’s Exceedig the Speed Limit CDX and Best of Opposite was GCH Millette’s Sweet Memories BN JH AX AXJ NF NAP NJP CGC. I want to thank All the members of SNEBC who came out to help with the specialty show from donating raffle items and food to setting up and clean up. Without all of your hard work we would not have had such a great event. I also want to thank both our judges who sure had their hands full judging so many fine quality examples of our breed.

Our Specialty was held on a cool, wet morning at the Prince William Co. Fairgrounds. The amply sized ring was located in a roofed pavilion, which protected us from the rain. Song birds in the rafters frequently drew the dogs' attention, especially the youngsters. Kudos to Julie & Mike Lee for providing breakfast for all exhibitors. Many thanks to the NVBC members who sponsored trophies at the Specialty and the Supported entry shows. The BOB and BOS trophies were colorful glass sun catchers, etched with Brittanys and quails. Other trophies included hand crafted, inlaid wooden boxes and pottery bowls. Thank you to Barb Bice for helping set up and present the trophies. Thanks to Susie Osmansky for set up, ring maintenance and recording results. Laurie O'Donnell took great photos, which she posted on the NVBC website. Thank you to Cindy Miller and Laurie O’Donnell for set up and coordination of

our pot luck lunch. Sweepstakes Judge Cindy L. Partridge was pleased to be shown such fine young dogs. She had a patient and gentle hand for these youngsters, making their early show experience a positive one. Cindy selected the male Arrow’s Just One Look, That’s All It Took as Best In Specialty Show and BRB I’ll Bet-c is All Readi On Point as Best of Opposite Sex. Cindy was thrilled with our thank you gift, a hand crafted wooden box inlaid with a Golden Retriever which is her breed. We were fortunate to have Jamie Hubbard judge the regular classes and Best of Breed. His pleasant interaction with each exhibitor and gentle manner with the dogs was greatly appreciated. He awarded BOB to the Veteran Dog, GCH MACH2 Brookewood's Just Too Hot uD RE MXG MJG MXF T2B. His choice for BOS was the Veteran Bitch, GCH Shamrock Rivals Bolt Out Of The Blue. The exhibitors cheered for these Veterans during their individual judging. Mr. Hubbard’s choice for WD and a 5 point major was 9-12 month Arrow’s Just One Look, That’s All It Took. He awarded WB and BOW to the Bred by Exhibitor Keili’s Goldstar Kir Royale BN RA JH OA OAJ for the 5 point major. RWD went to Britt Haven's International Scout and RWB went to BRB I’ll Bet-c is All Readi On Point. Select Dog went to the Field Trial Dog, GCH Labyrinth N Illusion Slippery When Wet JH. This year we were happy to present the trophy for Highest Scoring Brittany in Obedience to Rock Steady’s Pretty Peggy owned by Katrina Maurer. They competed in the Novice A class and finished her Companion Dog title. This is the first Obedience title that Katrina has earned and Peggy did very well on a rainy day in a sloppy wet ring. Thank you to all exhibitors and NVBC members who helped make another successful Specialty. I could not have done it without you.

The 2016 ABC Gun Dog Classic/Shooting Dog Championship was held over a two-day period in April at the union County Ranch near Thayer, IA. This event was hosted by the Hawkeye Brittany Club. Judges were two well-seasoned field trailers, Steve Ralph, from Forest Lake, MN, and Garvin Collins, from Liberty, MO. Both men gave each dog their full attention. Twenty 25 dogs, including several previous hour-stake winners, ran over the two-day period. The judges reported this was a high-quality collection of dogs and several gave championship performances. At the end, they selected Sniksoh Spanks’ Hank as the winner. Hank also won the 2015 edition of this event, held on these same grounds, making him only the 4th dog to score multiple wins in the 42-year history of this event. Hank was handled by his owner, Jeff Hoskins. Pressing Hank hard was the 2015 ABC National Open Gun Dog Champion Hope’s Chief of Crosscreek, handled by Bob Burchett for owners Barb and Wayne Pepin and Bob and Polly West. Chief is also no stranger to these grounds, having won two previous hour stakes here in 2015. Third place went to Touch Of Bourbon Little Chug, also handled by Bob Burchett for owners Tom and Jane Wonderling. Fourth was awarded to Hap’s Spice Run Beckham, handled by Jim Johnson for owner Earl Harrison. This was the first visit to

these ground for both dog and handler, but reportedly will not be the last. M i d - w e e k championships are a different sort of trial from the normal weekend events. Only one stake is running, so conflicts w i t h h a n d l e r s r u n n i n g on mul t ip le courses are eliminated. Most amateurs have gone home and are back at work, and the commotion commonly seen at weekend trials is greatly subdued. The downside of this is that there are usually only a few individuals left to manage the logistics of the trial. Club members Bruce Heiter and Bill Cockrum did an excellent job of coordinating everything

from planting birds to getting lunches. Linda Thomas and her crew of Jill Schaefer, Hal Revoir, Tom Wonderling, and Charlie Piearson saw to it that dogs were where they should be, acted as road guards, and provided refreshments for the participants each morning and afternoon. Finally, we want to give special recognition to our sponsors, Purina Pro Plan and Garmin. Championship stakes truly test the mettle of our dogs and serve to help separate those with qualities we look for in our breeding programs, but such events would not be possible with the continued financial support of these fine companies, both in terms of products donated and recognition of dogs that place consistently through their awards program. This is a Garmin Award points trial. Sniksoh Spank’s Hank ran in the 3rd brace. The brace was turned loose at the old barn on the north end of the north course. He ran hard to the front and was always on an edge or in the cover, using the wind wisely. He scored his first find at 9 on the west end of the alfalfa field and again at 12 at the corner of the old fence line separating the alfalfa field from the CRP field. He put down a strong race between finds, but handled well, despite a strong wind. Judges described his run as “eye-catching”. He continued his strong performance onto the south

course and scored 3 more finds: one at 32 along the hedgerow, another at 36 near Karbiner’s Crossing, and again at 55 in the bean field on the west side of the course. Each of his finds was enhanced by his tremendous style on point. He finished as he started, running strong to the front. Hope’s Chief of Crosscreek ran in the 7th brace, starting from the gate on the northwest side of the north course. He began at good range, and settled in to taking edges and hunting cover as the brace progressed. He suffered a non-productive at 20, but his efforts were rewarded after crossing over to the south course. His first find came at 23 near the keyhole in the hedgerow, with all in order. He scored again at 30 in the corner of the bean field and at 32 along the fence line separating the bean fields on the western portion of the course. He exhibited great style and intensity in all his pieces of bird work. Touch of Bourbon Little Chug ran in the 9th brace, beginning from the gate in the southwest corner of the bean field. He took a bit to get rolling, but gained momentum as the brace continued. He exhibited good range, used the available cover well, and finished strong. He carded finds at 32, in the motte past the double crossing, again at 34 at the end of the next draw, once more at 41 along the edge of the alfalfa field, and a fourth at 46 at the end of the draw south of the alfalfa field. He exhibited good style on point and was very mannerly on all his finds Hap’s Spice Rum Beckum ran in the 11th brace, which broke away from camp headed north. He scored his first find at 25 along the old fence line in the southwest corner of the alfalfa field, with all in order. He suffered a brief absence between the west crossing leading into the “orchard”, but was returned to

judgement before crossing over to the south side. He hunted and handled well around the course, and was rewarded with another find at 52 in cover as he approached the hedgerow, again with all in order. He carded a third find at 58 in the hedgerow, once again showing good style and class on his birds.

Pennsylvania Brittany Shooting Dog Championship

And Derby Classic

Tri-Valley Field Trial Area, Dresden OhioWinner: Castaway Wilson

As reported by David Webb

It is the month of March in Central Ohio; the weather often is unpredictable. Last year 2015 snow was melting, which made for muddy cold conditions; temperatures in the 30’s with fog in the morning and some icy areas on the course. Conditions for this year’s event were different – warmer temperatures in the middle to high 50’s and mostly sunny. Although there was a heavy rainstorm later Monday evening, which made for muddy conditions the next few days. This Brittany Shooting Dog Championship Classic event has been held for the past six years at the Tri-Valley Field Trial Area near Dresden, Ohio. Prior to the move to Ohio the event had been held at the Conomaugh grounds near Blairsville, Pennsylvania with the first event being in 2003. Although there were concerns about moving the event out of Pennsylvania, the Tri-Valley grounds are more than satisfactory from the standpoint of the handlers being able to “show” their dog.

(PABCA) and the American Brittany Club want to recognize and thank the Purina Company for their continued support of this ABC Classic Championships both with funding and dog food. We recognize Purina’s continued cooperation and sponsorship of this American Brittany Club event. While the monetary support helps our club, the quality of the Purina dog food helps us keep the dogs in a condition to be able to compete. The efforts of Bill Berger, Brian Hendrickson, Helen Riggle, Chris Rider, Dave Webb, and countless others made for a successful event. Kent D. Patterson of Franklin, TN and Rodney Clagg of Bellville, OH were in the saddle to judge the field of 29 entries from professional trainers, Jimmy Johnson, Tom Tracy Jr., as well as, amateur handlers Wade Haines, John and Joanne Perry, Lisa Pollock, Brian Riggle, Tommy Thomas, and Joe Williams. The club especially would like to thank Lisa Pollock for providing lunch each of the three days during the trial. In addition, the PABCA wishes to thanks all those who came to watch this Brittany event and recognition to the State of Ohio for use of the grounds at Tri-Valley, Dresden. OH. Also special thanks to Kent Patterson for his guidance in helping this reporter prepare the written material for publication.

AKC DELEGATE REPORT December Meeting, 2015

Field Trial and Hunting Test Committee: Doug Ljungren, AKC Staff Liaison reported the following statistics to date for field events: Spaniel events – up 5% Beagle events – down 5% Pointing Breed events – up 1% Retrievers – down 3% In looking at Pointing breed events, hunting tests are up and field trials are going down. Doug advised of his introduction to the Board Of Directors, the Canine Officer Program to acknowledge the good work canines do for the police. Guest Tim Carrion, Chesapeake Bay Retriever Club Delegate, asked about a Retriever Master National Amateur event. He asked about limited entries since there were 917 entries. Doug advised it would be presented to the BOD in January. Karolynne McAteer gave a report on the breed flyers. Of the outreach 21% returned information. This is important as less than 50% of all puppies get registered. She also favored the breed flyers go to the breeders rather than newly registered owners as Judy Tighe had recommended previously.. Perhaps this has to be requested by the Breed club. The report of the club questionnaire was given. The Questionnaire was deemed to be too long and needs to be shortened and maybe made breed specific. It was suggested we do the first two pages and the balance later. Jeff Drogin proposed that Open Field Championship points for pointing breeds should come from 3 different grounds for attaining the title. Some dogs only run on one set of grounds but hosted by different breed clubs. Doug Ljungren suggested this be put into the questionnaire Parent Club Committee: It was reported that the use of the yahoo group list by Parent Club Legislative Liaisons has been very disappointing. AKC Government Relations makes occasional posts to it, but the rare posts by AKC GR appear to be just about the only posts that are being placed on the list. Since the purpose of the list is for parent club legislative liaisons to share information, it is suggested to change the format from a yahoo list to a closed Facebook group which may be more user-friendly and more welcoming for discussion. The Facebook page will be monitored by the Government Relations team. Parent Clubs will be notified so they can sign up. CGC Title numbers have gone up steadily, up 10% since the last report at 39,600. Regarding the Parent Club Rescue Alliance E-List, there are 102 clubs that are participating. There are 28 clubs that have representatives and 44 that have not responded. Most parent clubs have several rescue groups that range anwhere from 2 to 20. Parent clubs have given contact information for about 220 groups that have not responded. Discussed insurance problems for rescue groups and the possibility of the rescue organizations being able to put information on the AKC Marketplace. 36

Region 2 Brittany Champagne Memorial Shooting Dog Championship

The 10th annual Region 2 Brittany Champagne Memorial Shooting Dog Championship started on Tuesday morning, March 29th. That morning the wind gusts were up to 40 mph which made it difficult for dogs to hear their handlers and find birds. 6 dogs ran in the morning five of which had bird contact. After lunch the conditions remained windy but scenting had improved. Six more dogs ran, all having bird contact and three of them with multiple covey finds. On Wednesday, birdwork was plentiful, every brace recorded several covey finds.

The winner came from the forth brace, FC AFC Marjo’s Leftover, who had four finds with great style and a consistent forward shooting dog race. She finished the hour going away strong to earn the Championship title. Second place was awarded to the eighth brace dog, NGDC FC AFC Hit's All Jack'd up, who had multiple covey finds with a nice range. FC AFC Hope's Carolina Sunshine, who won in 2012, placed third in the Championship with three stylish finds and strong forward run. Fourth place was FC AFC Woodland's Money Pit in the seventh brace. She had multiple finds with great style and a solid finish. The championship consisted of numerous quality bird dogs that displayed a championship worthy performance.

A special thanks to the hard working field trial community who helped to make this another class event: Joe Luisi and Bruce Conover for planting birds, Ralph Kiracofe who was in charge of the raffle and evening festivities. Judy Kiracofe for her role as the event secretary.

Thank you to our judges Jim Tracy and Toby Tobiassen. Jim Tracy, who competes and judges American Field trials, came from Emery, Virginia and Toby Tobiassen, owns and competes with American Field Pointers, came from Catskill, New York. We thank these fine judges who gave us their time and many hours in the saddle to select this year’s winners.

Loyall and Nutrena once again sponsored our event and provided dog food and horse feed to the winners as well as financial support. Pete DeAngelis of Longview Kennels, Water and Wings Training Club and Ivan and Ronnie Clark, winners of the 2014 championship, also supported our championship by generously hosting dinner through the week.

CENTRAL MAINEFryeburg, ME

May 28-29, 2016

The Central Maine Brittany Club continued with their spring trial this past year on the weekend of May 28 and 29, 2016. The trial was held at the Maine Bird Dog Club grounds in Fryeburg, ME with very hot weather on Saturday, followed by much cooler weather on Sunday. Lots of water availability kept dogs well hydrated during the day. Mature, hardy, well feathered quail were liberated on both the juvenile and adult courses for the derby and gundog stakes; most braces had birdwork as they went over

the courses with birds being excellent flyers. The nonregulation walking hunting dog stake was held both days.

Many many thanks to Purina for their sponsorship of the trial. A total of 26 different handlers put dogs on the line over the two days.

The trial grounds were worked on several times during the fall and spring. John Short and Bob Paucek worked diligently with their tractors and bush hogs to make sure courses were clear. On the day of the trial we had excellent bird planters with Sam Jackson, Mo Pollard, Mike Cyr, Jane Bjork, Jeff Leggio and Art Hembrough making sure birds were placed throughout the courses. Birds were plentiful, well feathered and flew strongly. As usual, Donna Pride kept the central operations running smoothly, making sure that paperwork was in order and dogs were on the line on time. Special thanks go to those who sat in judicial saddles, Frank Pride, Cory Roy, Mike Blondin, John Poland and walking judges Pat Carney, and Keith Culver. Gary Anderson and Sam Jackson handled the judging of walking hunting dog stakes both days.

A fan tas t ic spaghet t i d inner coordinated by John Short and Mo and Monica Pollard was enjoyed by handlers and guests.

May 21-22, 2016

The MSVBC spring trial is in the record books for another year. Weather for the Brittany's had finally warmed up, in some cases too warm, but I'm sure this was a little more enjoyable than the early April

trials.

As always, we'd like to thank you all for attending, and a special thank you to our judges for their time in the saddle. Due to a death in his family, our scheduled judge Tommy Thomas could not make it. Ed and Donna Janulis generously stepped in and filled in his shoes, and we were grateful to them for that. Our thanks to Duane Yoder, John Marinelli, John Hall, Dave Heavlin and Bill Darr, for giving of their time also!

During our happy hour on Saturday evening we were privileged to have Purina Rep Terry Tryzinski with us. He came to a clear consensus that Purina is the feed of choice for MSVBC trial attendees :). We were also privileged to have the presentation of the East Central Gun Dog Award to our club members Ron and Kathy Gulembo for their dog NAGDC DC AFC HiPoint's Summer Time. Needless to say she had a pretty darn good year! Jimmy Johnson did an awesome presentation. It was very special, thank you.

No trial is ever run by one person; it takes a team. Ron and Jeanne Telfare did a superb job on the Gun Dog Stakes, Kent Merryman and Ron Gulembo handled the Juvenile and All-Age stakes. Kathy Gulembo took charge of the judges, Kathy and Donna Janulis coordinated lunches & happy hour. Ron Auten was a huge help in taking charge of Will's horses while he was away for a day, and helped with clean-up of the bird barn and parking lot, and Carlos Gust for many little things. I'm sure I'm missing someone, but thanks to everyone for pitching in. Thank you also to Will Langley for providing horse power.

We were pleased to have two pros in the line-up. Thank you to Jimmy Johnson and Carrie Syczylo for bringing their strings, and being on the line when needed. We kept them very busy.

Congratulations to our placed dogs, and they are as follows:

MINNESOTARogers, MN

May 27-29, 2016

The Minnesota Brittany Club held its annual spring horseback trial on May 27-29, 2016 at Crow Hassan Park Reserve near Rogers, MN. The weather looked like it was going to be a washout for the weekend, but the weather actually cooperated for the most part. It rained a little bit on Friday afternoon but we were able to complete the OLGD, OAA and the Puppy stakes which put us ahead of

schedule. It rained pretty good most of the day on Saturday so we only completed the OGD stake with a long lunch break. Sunday turned out to be the best day of the weekend and we were able to complete the Derby and Amateur Gun Dog stakes in sunny and breezy weather. We had to do placements for Sunday in the barn due to a real downpour. The rest of the late afternoon and evening were perfect for putting things away and everybody getting home for the holiday.

Thanks to our judges who rode most of the weekend with their rainsuits on. Susan Januschka, Todd Piechowski, Josh Holden, Julie Nelson Claypool, Bret Lindback, Dan Voss, John Zeman and Mick Rodeghiero went round and round the courses. We appreciate your efforts. A big thank you to Mary Tyson ad Shelly Wenberg for running the dog wagon, it is a big job due to the breakaway being a third of a mile away from camp. Thanks to Brian, Rachel and Brandon Hammes for preparing meals, filling bird bags and filling in wherever necessary to keep the trial going. Also, thank to Bob Lovell who brought us a meal which included the world’s best potato salad. I also want to thank the Professional handlers who brought their dogs to our trial, Greg Dixon, Tommy Hagan and Josh Holden. Your entries allow us to keep trialing. And I want to thank all of the amateurs who come and trial with us in Minnesota. I am always amazed at the level of skill of your dogs and your handling. It made for a very competitive weekend.

I will conclude with some special thanks to some folks who support us and our sport. NutriSource has been providing a bag of food for the winners as long as I can remember and we appreciate that in a big way. A new supporter joined us this spring with some great prizes. Sport Dog and their representative Josh Miller provided a tracking collar and Sport Dog’s top of the line training collar which we gave away in a drawing with all of the handlers having a chance to win. Josh also planted birds for me most of the day on Sunday, giving me a nice break. A GIANT thank you to those vendors from all of us.

Western Brittany Open All Age Championship

The morning of the start of the trial we had great running weather considering a few days before we had 4-5” of snow, sleet, rain, wind with temps in the low teens. It was 20 degrees at sun up and climbed to around

40-45 degrees each morning. This year the trial was run in a new location on the Las Cienegas NCA at the Airstrip verses the old location at Road Canyon.

The new course is about ¾-7/8-mile-wide and approx 1 ½-2 mi. long with a tree line on the east side of the course, some rolling hills, mesquite groves, tall grass, gathered up wood piles, and open ground. Some really nice grounds to showcase and see your dog.

Breaking away from the starting line is approximately a mile to the first hill where some birds were planted, there are some wood piles along the way and throughout the course which made it challenging to some dogs rooting out birds. The NCA thinned and piled the mesquite opening up this area. The course continued over 3 more hills running northeast with cuts and washes between the hills. It then looped and paralleled the road South on the back side of the coarse which had mesquite groves, washes, cuts, and some big open ground for the dogs to run and open up. Big running dogs could really showcase themselves well on this course. We had quite a bit of bird work with chukars flying 300-500 yds. and the quail 150-300yds. We had good scenting conditions for the dogs on both days, although all placements were from the second day. There were a lot of good dogs shown in this championship with 4 placements awarded by judges Jim Schultz from Flagstaff and Dave Hayes from Buckeye because this event was dual sanctioned.

Fifteen dogs were drawn on the grounds the afternoon of January 11, 2016 for the start of the championship the following morning. The champion (FC/AFC/AMFLDCH Spanish Corral's Sonny Patch) came from brace 5A. Patch is owned by

EASy FRESh TOMATO SAUCE

5 pounds tomatoes¾ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons olive oil1 tablespoon tomato paste1 garlic clove, halved1 basil sprig1 bay leaf

Cut tomatoes in half horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds and discard, if you wish. Press the cut side of tomato against the large holes of a box grater and grate tomato flesh into a bowl. Discard skins. You should have about 4 cups. Put tomato pulp in a low wide saucepan over high heat. Add salt, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, basil and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a brisk simmer. Reduce the sauce by almost half, stirring occasionally, to produce about 2 1/2 cups medium-thick sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. It will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator or may be frozen.

TRAININ’ DOGS with Rick Smith

In every dog’s training, there comes the time to ask the dog to work out away from us at a distance. This is best accomplished gradually and in small steps using a valuable tool: a checkcord. Using a checkcord gives us control over our dog’s movement at an increasing distance, reinforcing how and where we want the dog to work when hunting in front of us. So exactly what makes a piece of rope into a checkcork? The most important component is the rope. Ideally, a tightly woven nylon is used, and it will have some stiffness or “body” to it. Not all commercially available checkcords have enough body. Even with a good-quality rope, more stiffness is helpful, and that can be achieved by soaking it in a bucket of water and letting it sun-dry. This makes it easier to handle, since it won’t tangle as much as soft rope, and the stiffness makes control of the rope work smoothly, especially at a distance. The diameter can be 3/8” or 7/16” depending on what feels good in your hand. Length is a matter of personal preference, but should fall somewhere between 20-25 feet. Use whatever length you’re most comfortable with. The end that attaches to the collar will have a brass swivel snap tied in with a bowline knot. The swivel in the snap keeps the rope from twisting up, and the bowline knot puts a little weight in the rope, slightly away from the dog’s collar, making the rope easier to maneuver when changing directions. The tail of the rope should be finished with a simple overhand knot to keep the rope from sliding through your hand. The checkcord will snap to your dog’s collar, which should be positioned snugly at the top of the neck. The ideal collar for this is made of plain, heavy leather, and with a D-ring to attach the checkcord. This will enable the collar to move easily across the dog’s neck as you cue for changes of direction with the checkcord. The collars with a round

ring connecting the two p i e c e s o f l e a t h e r make this action more difficult, changing the way the collar moves against the neck when a tug from the checkcord is applied. Now that we’ve established what a checkcord is, let’s take a look at what we can do with it. It has the same basic functions as the Command Lead, meaning it tells the dog to come to us or go with us. The cue on the neck, coming from either the Command Lead or the checkcord, should always be a light tug and release motion, rather than a steady pull or hard jerk. The slack is the most important part. There will almost always be light slack in the rope; the only time there is tension in the rope is when you are giving a cue, and it’s tug, release and you throw the slack back to the dog. If you find yourself waterskiing behind your dog, it means you’re letting the dog take up all the slack. In order to do this and do it well, you’ll need some rope-handling skills in place before you start on your dog. This will help avoid confusion and frustration, since learning to handle a rope of this length takes some practice if you’ve never used one before. The first rule is this: Don’t try to keep the excess rope coiled up in your hand. Allow the excess to just drag out

behind you in a straight line. Trying to coil the rope only makes it harder to adjust the length as your dog is moving. If the checkcord is trailing out in a line, it is a simple matter to shorten or lengthen the rope by pulling it through your rope hand using your spare hand. Of course, wearing good leather gloves is always recommended. When our dog is out in front of us working, the checkcord should have very light tension in it. This does not mean the dog should be allowed to pull or drag you, but it does mean we expect the dog to work at the limit of whatever distance we choose to allow. The rope between you and your dog will not be dragging on the ground, nor will it be stretched tight. So how should the rope feel and what should the correct amount of contact be? Here’s a simple training exercise you

The Checkcord Part 1

This is what the leather collar and snap end of the checkcord looks like. Note the bowline knot, as this is important in helping the rope to work correctly.

can do to learn this and basic rope handling before trying it on your dog. Drive a stake into the ground, leaving about two feet sticking straight up. Buckle a leather collar in a loop the size of a dog’s neck, then snap the checkcord into the D-ring. Loop the collar over the post, and position it so it is about 18 inches off the ground. Take your check cord in hand, and move away from the post. Your goal is to apply enough tension to keep the collar suspended in its place on the post without pulling hard or allowing too much slack. If the collar stays in position without changing shape or elongating, you are applying the correct amount of tension. If it slides to the base of the post you’ll need to apply more tension. The next skill you’ll want to practice before using the checkcord on your dog is learning to flip the slack in the rope over your dog’s back. This will happen each time you change direction and ask your dog to turn and go with you, so it is important to be able to handle the rope in an efficient manner. If you’re fumbling with the checkcord, your dog will not have the best opportunity to succeed, so take the time to practice until you are comfortable with the rope. The following exercise will help familiarize you with working the slack in the rope so it will flip neatly across your dog’s back at each change of direction. In order to turn your dog using the checkcord, there are two options: You can pull and drag the dog (not the option we would choose); or you can lightly toss the rope over your dog’s back and tug the collar using an easy bumping movement with the rope. To learn this skill, you will need to fasten the snap on the checkcord to a stationary object. There are numerous ways you can do this, including buckling a collar tightly around a fence post and attaching the checkcord, or snapping the checkcord is to something that will keep it at a consistent position, almost any solid object can be used. Once the snap is secure, take up the rope and step out to the end of it. Start with the rope taut, then take a step forward and give just enough slack so the rope loops slightly toward the ground. Using a sideways movement of your hand and wrist, flip a loop of rope toward the snap end. This won’t work unless there is a small degree of slack in the rope, and the rope should move sideways, not up and down. Your wrist will flick at approximately a 45-degree angle to the right and then left, or left to right, depending on the direction you want to flip the

slack. When practicing this, pick a spot to aim at, and see if you can flip the slack to hit the target. This sideways movement of the rope will help turn the dog by sending the rope up, over and across its back, while up and down is likely to hit the dog and cause confusion. Being able to send the slack to the exact spot you need it in order to turn the dog is an acquired skill, and one that is invaluable in checkcord work, along with good timing. Practice this at several different distances and while moving from side to side as well as toward the snap, and learn to flip the rope while you’re adjusting your distance and position. The bowline knot securing the snap is a big help since it gives just the right weight and swing to the collar end of the checkcord. Also practice moving closer and farther from the end of the

checkcord, sliding the excess rope through your hand and leaving the free end on the ground. Learn to “walk” up the rope when it is snug using a hand-over-hand movement, and do this until you can work up the length of the rope without it moving at all. The more time you spend practicing with the checkcord before using it on your dog, the better success you will have because your instructions will be clear. Once you’ve got a good checkcord and have developed some solid rope handling skills, it’s time to add your dog – and then birds – to the equation. We’ll get to that in our next column.

2014 American Brittany Club Western All- Age Futurity

A very special thanks to the veteran judging panel of Bill

Landress and Ed Dixon who gave each and every dog their undistracted

attention, their judgment and results were well received.

Brace 1 Kid and Haley. Kid and Haley blazed the inaugural

trail for the 2014 Western All-Age Futurity class, starting out in the

greasewood flats of the Mojave, over the rock covered hills of Chukar Al-

ley, back into the southern flats and finally back along the eastern edge

of the desert course. A brace of professional handlers had the whistles;

Paul Doiron with Kid and Wayne Downs handling Haley. Kid was the

more forward and focused of the pair, he stayed to the front, respond-

ing well for his age and seeking likely objectives. He was rewarded

with two finds in his half hour, he showed great intensity and style and

manners that will likely have him in adult stakes soon. Haley was more

erratic in application but showed improvement as she familiarized with

the grounds. Her prey drive was displayed well when she pursued and

caught a Chukar over the first ridge entering the alley. Kid’s performance

garnered him a well deserved placement in the stake.

Brace 2 Ryan and Ginger. This half brother and sister pair was

amateur handled; Tom White capably piloted Ryan around the course

and Joe Gower blew the whistle for Ginger. Ryan had a reasonably

controlled race and handled very well for Tom. He made some good all-

age moves but his search on course for game was for naught. However,

the two judges were interested enough to call Ryan back for a point after

the running. Ginger was wider and wilder. Her race was big but required

quite a bit of handling to navigate the course. She had two finds in the

stake pointing with great intensity. She finished the half hour strong and

had to be caught to quit, she too earned her placement recognition.

Brace 3 Casey and Chica. This was the premier brace of the

stake, producing the champion and the runner up. Casey is handled by

Idaho pro Jason Staley for Paul and Lisa Pollock of New Jersey; the

latter pair showing great support by traveling to the Western Futurity.

Chica was capably handled by the veteran amateur from Idaho Frank

Bryte. From the break-away these two showed a more mature applica-

tion that had not yet been displayed. Most notably, Casey showed a fast

and forward silhouette on the ridge west of the break away all the way

down to the saddle at Chukar alley. Chica covered much of the same

ground but in a slightly more lateral pattern. Casey stayed to the outer

edge of the course moving forward all the time, Chica was equally as

busy but touching on objectives inside Casey’s. Above the turn of the flat

Casey had bird contact called by Judge Landress, she finished strong

on course going back toward the break-away and it was an easy deci-

sion for the judge’s to name her the Champion. Chica stayed fast and

energetic and was asked back to point, the weight of her performance

earning her the runner-up.

Something unusual happened Memorial Weekend. I attended my first field trial 41 years ago and thought I had seen about everything but, this if not unique, is very uncommon. May 28, at the Central Maine Brittany Club trial, a first time handler took a ribbon. Not the usual first time handler. This sport has become majorly populated with gray haired gentlemen and a good showing of ladies, but few youngsters are seen. But, this handler, by the name of Alana Day is 10 years old. She is the daughter of David and Maryann Day and the granddaughter of John and Ann Short. A lana d id not run her parents or grandparent broke dog. She ran her 15-month old puppy she calls Toph. Alana has been training in the field every chance she gets with her mother and grandparents but, this weekend she wanted to handle her own puppy in the Amateur Derby. The Amateur Derby had 8 starters and the day was hot, over 90 degrees. Alana handled her puppy to a 3rd place finish even beating Toph’s littermate who came in 4th handled by the breeder of the litter. Wow! She was so inspired she then decided to handle her the next day in Open Derby. 10-year-old Alana took home the Blue, beating 6 other competitors. I am not sure how many times a 10-year-old handler has won in an open class in an AKC trial because the statisticians have not gotten back to me yet. But, this is an incredible accomplishment! Doing it with her own amateur trained puppy is icing on the cake. Some may think it a fluke but hard work pays off even for the younger set.Alana has been around puppies since before she could walk. She grew up with her family’s first Britt and was always interested in training with her grandparents and mother. When she was 9 she helped with the training of the family’s second dog a young pup named Zuko. That fall at 6 months with mom handling, but with Alana watching and learning, Zuko earned his JH title. Now what to do? Enter dog shows. Alana started handling in dog shows. Alana and Zuko won a Sporting Breed Group at a match. And then with an older dog won Best Junior Handler in an all-breed show. She has now also handled Zuko

in Junior classes as well as multiple wins in Junior Handler classes.Now with a new puppy Toph, with Alana’s mother handling this pup earned AKC JH titles and NAVHDA titles as well. Alana wanted to take the over the reins, or leash if you will, of her puppy. Once again handling this puppy in Regular Classes and Junior Classes and once again earning ribbons. Earlier this spring Alana handled Toph to a near perfect score towards her Advanced Junior Hunt Test title and was even asked by the judges to run again as a bye.

Now, it has been less than 30 days since Alana and Toph won an Open Derby and they

are off to the Show ring. On June 24 Toph is entered in Open Bitch at the

Lewiston-Auburn Kennel Club, in Cumberland, Maine. This will be

Alana’s inaugural handling in Open Bitch Class. And once again Alana and Toph take the Blue. But wait, the story does not end there on Saturday at the Penobscot Valley Kennel Club, in Cumberland, Maine they repeat the win in Open Bitch. The third day at the CMBC Supported

Entry, Alana and Toph place second. Astounding!! There is

no stopping this dynamic duo!Is it any wonder she had the

confidence to handle her in a regional trial or in Open Bitch class against all

comers in both? Did I mention she has a black belt in Karate, competes in Judo and runs half marathons with her dad? Yea, that too. So what is in store for this young lady? Well of course fall trials, fall and winter shows and with luck we will see her at the 2017 American Brittany Club Eastern Futurity as Toph is nominated.

Good Luck, young Lady. This sport needs new blood and there

are plenty of youngsters and newcomers that will gain inspiration from the likes of you and Toph.

The Future of Our Sport and Breed

A little competition By Tom WordA Novella and Twenty-Two Short Stories

Dimpled Chad In predawn darkness Billy Cole drove his battered pickup down the dusty path from his head dog trainer’s cottage to the kennels. As he passed the big house, lights in the kitchen revealed the chef and his assistants preparing breakfast for the eight sleeping executives who would shoot Mossy Swamp Plantation today. They had flown into Albany via corporate jets, been picked up in the van by Henry Teel, the tall, quiet African-American who had for twenty years served Mossy Swamp inscrutably as chauffeur, butler, bartender, and headwaiter. The guns had been served cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by Dove, grouper, and venison, accompanied by French wines and topped off with pecan pie ala mode and chicory coffee. Retiring to the living room’s open fire, they finished the night with port and fine cigars, served unobtrusively by Henry Teel among paintings and photos of three generations of the plantation’s owners and their bird dogs, horses, and retrievers. The talk had been of acquisition targets, for four of the guns were Wall Street bankers and the other four were CEOs of companies interested in the “deal flow” the bankers stirred. The bankers were the hosts, the CEOs their uneasy guests, never sure when they might become baitfish in the deal flow, though each had been assured that the host bank, Silverman-Baggs, sought only to feed their acquisitions appetites. The common ground of hosts and guests was profit-fees for the bankers, more stock options and bigger paychecks for the CEOs. And though the CEOs feared the bankers, that fear was mollified by the golden parachute each had tucked in his desk drawer against the inevitable day the predator would become the prey. It was a win-win game for bankers and CEOs, or so they hoped, and half believed-unless and until there should come a true recession, or an industry specific depression, or an unforeseen problem in a CEO’s company to fell its stock price like a long leaf pine struck by lightning. But quail shooting, gourmet meals, and fine potables would keep these fears at bay for the two days ahead. Unknown to the CEOs, the bankers had worries too, for turmoil was brewing at Silverman-Baggs, where the bond traders were plotting to overthrow the deal makers. But Ben Klensch, the chairman of Silverman-Baggs and the leader of the bankers now at Mossy Swamp, felt sure of his power base-at least for the current quarter. His team had just closed a massive deal with fees to assure the firm would beat the Street’s estimate of S-B’s earnings for the quarter. They were here to land other deals to sweeten the earnings

of quarters to come. The dinner in the candle-lit dining room had set the mood; two days of quail shooting should assure S-B’s leading role in the acquisition plans of the CEOs. A chorus of barks greeted Billy Cole’s truck at the kennels. He yelled, “You, hush!” and forty barking pointers and setters fell silent. In the feed house, Mack Parks, manager of Mossy Swamp for thirty years, had the coffee brewed and the day’s work assignments jotted on his clipboard.

Billy would lead the Wagon 1 team, with rookie

Clay Parks as his scout and Crocodile Smith, a twenty-year veteran, as his

skinner. The dun mules, Mattie and One-Eye Tom, would pull

Wagon 1. Four Tennessee Walkers and eight bird dogs, plus the blond Lab Bama, would complete the Wagon 1 team. A second team for Wagon 2 would be by

handler Carl Davis, a stoic Mississippi transplant. (Billy

hailed from South Alabama, another bastion of bird-hunting

tradition.)

This was Billy’s second season at Mossy Swamp. For ten years before, he’d handled on the all-age field-trial circuit, traveling with a dozen pointers and four horses from Saskatchewan in August down through North and South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi and finally to Tennessee in February for the National Championship. He’d entered his string in twenty trials a year. In his last season he’d been crowned Handler of the Year, his dog Dimpled Chad winning the National Championship and Purina Dog of the Year. Then he’d abruptly quit the circuit, his wife Mae the cause. She’d given him the ultimatum, said she couldn’t stand for him to be gone nine months a year. She wanted a family, wanted Billy to settle down to a steady job while times were still good. Her sister lived in Albany and called with the news that Mossy Swamp Plantation needed a dog trainer-hunt guide. Billy hadn’t wanted to leave the circuit, but he loved Mae and understood her loneliness, and so he interviewed with Mack. Mack had taken no time at all to size up Billy. The lad knew dogs and horses and hunting, had the strong work ethic induced by pride, and a southern farm boy’s expected good manners. Could he learn the hardest lesson - to suffer fools (if no well at least opaquely) - that was the question. It had taken Mack a long time to learn it, for like Billy he had pride and a temper, but he had learned to harness both emotions-you couldn’t work in the quail plantation belt otherwise. Billy’s first year at Mossy Swamp had gone well enough. He’d taken a string of green two-year-old gun-dog prospects to his old

training grounds in North Dakota in July, brought them back to Mossy Swamp broke enough for the job. With a season under their collars now, they were as good as any plantation string between Albany and Tallahassee. They were absolutely obedient to Billy, as was necessary to assure their safety. Each would, on Billy’s soft command, whoa, back, come in; each was steady to wing and shot, marked downed birds, hunted dead and retrieved, though most of the retrieving was left for the wagon - Lab, Bama, which Billy had trained to carry the birds to Crocodile on the wagon. The customers liked Billy, and so did the other plantation help. So far, he’d managed to suffer the fools. “Who’s on the guest list, Mr. Mack?” Billy asked his boss. Mack handed him a neatly typed sheet from the Big House office. Billy recognized the names of the S-B bankers, regulars last year, but the CEOs were unfamiliar to him, thought their companies’ names were not. Ben Klensch was listed on Wagon 1, as Billy had known he would be. Silverman-Baggs had negotiated an exclusive on Mossy Swamp’s hunting dates, except the few the owning family kept for themselves and friends around Christmas, starting next week. Mack had counseled against the S-B deal, warning that if the bank were to lose its appetite for quail hunting-as he’d seen other business customers do-Mossy Swamp might end up with empty shooting dates. But the extra dollars S-B had offered, and paid in advance, had been irresistible to the owning family, and so Ben Klensch had secured his corner on Mossy Swamp quail shooting. Soon the rest of the crew members arrived at the kennels one by one, and the day’s work began. Mules and horses were fed and curried, harnessed or saddled, ammo was loaded in the wagons, water tanks filled, ice and drinks placed in chests (care taken not to include brands of the CEOs’ competitors, for all recalled the hell raised when Augie Busch discovered Coors in a wagon ice chest). Billy inspected the pads and eyes of his eight dogs before they were loaded into the cages on Wagon 1. Finally, everything checked out by Mack, and the procession of two mule-drawn wagon, mounted handlers and scouts in white linen over vests moved slowly up the lane toward the Big House. Bells on the mule harness tinkled softly, reminding Billy of the Christmas bells Mae had hung on the doors of their cozy little house. The eight guns were waiting on the front stoop, attired in the latest shooting togs from Orvis, Griffin & Howe, and Holland & Holland. Atop each head sat a blaze orange cap embroidered with the plantation’s logo, MS with a cock quail’s head between the letters. Over a forearm of each man hung a Purdy, Churchill, or Boss double gun. Those guns cost more than I made in ten years on the circuit, Billy thought as he inspected the checkering on the burled walnut stocks, carefully placing them into the wagon’s gun box or saddle scabbards. Then Mack said: “Gentlemen, may I have your attention a moment please. It’s a fine day for quail hunting, gentlemen. That little shower last night will help the dogs smell ‘em, and the temperature is just about right. A few rules for safety I want to remind you about once more. “Listen to your handler-he’s in charge. Keep your gun-breech open, except when you’re walking up to shoot-and open the breech when he sends the dogs to retrieve. Don’t shoot low flyers-they need to be up at your eye level before you swing on ‘em. Know

where your wagon and scout are. Your safe shooting zone is from a line straight ahead of your handler, 45 degrees to your right if you’re the right gun, 45 degrees to your left if you’re the left gun. Don’t shoot across that center line - that’s your partner’s bird across that line. Hunt safe now, and have fun!” Mack’s tone was pleasant but serious. Billy looked at his four guns and tried to size them up. Ben Klensch he knew, and Ben was his biggest worry. Ben had been shooting five years now, starting with a trip for driven grouse in Scotland (wisely the laird had required all new guns to attend the Holland & Holland shooting school outside London). Competitive in all things, Ben had taken to shooting like a duck to water, and followed up with lessons at an Orvis shooting school in the States. He’d joined Clove Valley and Rolling Rock, shot frequently there and here at Mossy Swamp. He was skilled enough as a wing shot, but what worried Billy was his competitiveness, and the fact that he always had a lot more on his mind than the hunt. Two guns took seats on each wagon, and two others mounted the ultra-calm guest horses held by the scouts. Stirrup lengths were adjusted, and the two groups, each with a gleaming black hunting wagon with high red-spoke wheels, departed in opposite directions for the morning hunting courses. Ben Klensch urged his mount up beside Billy and peppered him with questions about hunting conditions and his dogs. Then, to Billy’s great irritation, he told of the day’s three bets-first wagon to harvest fifteen, first wagon to the stated limit of thirty-two (which would be ignored by Ben once reached), and finally, the wagon with the most birds for the day. Billy did not like bets on hunting results. If it were up to him, he’d outlaw them, though he knew that wasn’t practical-the competitive types would bet secretly. As for shooting over the stated limit-Billy didn’t give a care. The birds were released, not wild. If the customers wanted to pay for extra birds, that was fine with him.

MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN BRITTANY CLUBGive the gift of a new membership… to give the opportunity

to someone to learn about and participate in the American Brittany Club. This membership campaign is really quite simple, we are asking every member to donate/sponsor a membership in the American Brittany Club. This “gifted” membership might be to a puppy purchaser, or a friend/acquaintance who has a Brittany. All of us encounter people who may just need a little encouragement to become members . This can work, but it is totally dependent upon your support. Please use the ABC application form in the back of the magazine to enroll a new member today. You may donate/sponsor multiple new memberships. The names of new members & ABC sponsors will be published in the magazine on a quarterly basis.

THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
