We got this photo emailed to us from Bailey in Nevada. He bought an Annie X Buster puppy earlier this year. This fine hunting brittany they named Boone. Bailey has done a great job with getting Boone onto some birds. The photo is after a very successful Nevada chukar hunt. Nothing can bring a bird dog along faster than lots of wild bird exposure. Thanks for emailing the pics. Keep up the good work.

Only 4 weeks after whelping her first litter of puppies I thought Sadie could use a day in the field. We have some bobwhite quail recall pens at the training grounds and it is a blast to let a dozen quail out for these experienced adults. Buster and Sadie didn’t take long to locate the small covey and pin them down in thick cover. Both of these parents of our last litter are proven hunting dogs with great noses. They both retrieve to hand and are great around my kids. If you want to know what your puppies are going to turn out like, there is no better indicator than meeting the parents. You get a great snapshot of what to expect in size, temperment, color, obedience, handling, hunting instincts, etc… If you are considering buying a bird dog puppy, I highly recommend taking the time to meet the parents.

Our latest litter of brittany puppies are getting to that fun stage around 4 weeks old. They are starting to romp and play and their little personalities are beginning to blossom. We have two liver and white puppies available from this litter, one male and one female. Should be excellent foot hunting dogs as well as family companions. They are getting plenty of socialization from my seven children. Feel free to email or call us if you are interested.

We were waiting to see if this litter took before announcing it. She was so small I did not believe that the puppies were in there. Last night we were thrilled to find 4 healthy puppies in Sadies dog den. 3 females and 1 male puppy were whelped on September 2nd, 2011. Two of them are liver and white and while the other two are orange white, still waiting to see if any will be roan colored. Two of the puppies were whelped with natural bobbed tails which we have not seen before in our kennels.

Seven months out of the year my brittany dogs work as guide dogs on a pheasant hunting preserve. This helps to keep them on top of their game and it is also how they earn their room and board. I feel like it would be a shame to have such fine working dogs and not give them a job to do. Buster is pictured here retrieving a healthy rooster pheasant.

We have been busy this summer getting the fields ready and planting corn and milo for the new pheasant preserve on the ranch. North Fork Pheasant Preserve will open this fall at the clear creek ranch where we are employed in southern Utah near Zion National Park. These two young female brittany dogs have been finishing their bird dog training at Best Gun Dogs training program in Beaver, UT. Jared Moss does a great job training gun dogs and getting them steady to wing and shot. Sadie and Lizzy are just over 2 years old and Jared has pronounced them ready to go to work as guide dogs at the pheasant farm. Thanks Jared for all your help getting these girls ready for hunting season.

Most of these pups are settled into their new homes and are looking forward to the fall hunting season.

We are expecting an excellent foot hunting litter of brittany puppies around April 19th. Annie has been bred to Buster and we are expecting white/liver and white/orange brittany pups. Annie and Buster have been my number one guide dogs these past few years at the pheasant farm. They both have a good nose and have pointed and retrieved hundreds of pheasants. Buster is DNA certified and comes from Dave Walker kennels in Idaho. Annie has been with our family for 5 years and has a sweet temperment. Email us if you are interested in a great hunting companion. You can place a deposit to hold your pick for $200. One male is still with us and entering his bird dog training for fall pheasant season.

This is an exceptional stud dog that we have bred to with great success. View Luke’s Pedigree.

It is always fun to send our Brittany puppies home to their new families. We were proud to send this little female orange roan puppy to live with Steve in Wyoming. All of our Sue X Luke puppies are in their new homes now. The lone male a liver roan puppy went to Colorado. The white and liver female we called Mildred went to Wayne in Arizona. The other liver roan pup, a female, went home to San Diego. We decided to keep this white and orange female we are calling Minnie. She will be a part of our future and a guide dog on our pheasant preserve.
