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.

Miracle got a new hat from my daughter Hannah who is learning how to knit. She thought it was a little small, or is it that the puppies are growing up so fast. Miracle can’t wait to go to her new home in Wyoming. All the pups are eating solids and are scheduled for their first round of shot on January 7th. One of the fun things with the holiday season and puppies is all the extra socialization from visiting family and friends.

The puppies finally arrived on Friday November 19th. There were 5 healthy puppies born and only one male. Two of the females are white/orange while the other two female brittany pups are liver and white. Currently we have only one white/orange female available. The first puppy opened her eyes today at 10 days old, a liver/white puppy we call May.

The weather was a little cold for pouring concrete, but we got it finished and ready to use before the first snows came almost a week later. The dogs appreciate the new dog kennel with the insulated shelter from the cold winter months. The next project is to get power and water to the kennels. Both are close by will have to wait until spring when we can do some trenching.

On October 1st we moved our kennels and our family to the spectacular Clear Creek Ranch to start a new pheasant preserve. The ranch is located in Southern Utah just 3 miles East of Zion National Park. We look forward to the expansion of our kennels and training program for the future of high class american brittany puppies and started dogs. We will also be running the new Zion Park Bed and Breakfast. Here is a typical sunset on the ranch.
