Re: Brittany Pedigree
Since that's not any kind of certified pedigree, you don't know what titles might be in there. You can run some of the names through NSTRA and see if they placed there. Otherwise, you'll need an official AKC pedigree to tell much on titles. That pedigree is one I built off the AKC pedigree. So it i...

Re: Brittany Pedigree
There is nothing in the pedigree that shows much other than the dog has a lot of Potter breeding. None of the dogs have any titles which says they haven't been run in any kind of competion. All of this said, they may be great hunting dogs but you will have to check it out yourself. Is there anythin...

Brittany Pedigree
I was asked to possibly help train and find a home for a Brittany locally here. He is a nice dog. Just wondering if I can get any feedback on pedigree as I don't know Brittany Pedigree as GSP's are my main breed. Here is a link to pedigree:

Re: New GSP Club!
Don the point is that UKC is a different organization than AKC. Yes there are a lot of AKC clubs but there is no GSP club in UKC. And frankly I enjoy UKC a lot more than AKC. And many of their performance venues (not talking hunting) are more difficult than AKC. This club has nothing to do with AKC ...

We do A LOT of dock jumping and have NEVER had an ACL injury in 7 years. We have some of the largest jumping dogs in the country as well. Dock jumping is no more difficult on a dog than hunting. And we do hunt with our dogs as well. Good structure and good conditioning do wonders for do athletes.
