Mn Britt Trial
Vern had his 3rd placement for this year, taking 2nd in the Open Gun Dog Stake at the Minnesota Brittany Field trial.
Better watch out, looks like the French Britts are starting to come into their own!!

It took a couple of generations to get our French Brits of 50 years ago to be able to run and win some trials. It's kind of a new experience for most of them. Once they are here for a couple of generations you will see them bred with a little more style and run in them. Seems we just can't keep from what we think is improving the breed.
Congrats on your placement.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

In a European Pedigree you will find more trial information than i n most american britts. A very high percentage of the europeans have for generations run in field trials. The whole purpose of the UKC registration of the French seperate from the American is to help preserve the original brittany and its heritage.
Although brittanies are almost always a joy.

The best part of training is seeing the light come on in your little prot'eg'e.

Yes, but European trials and American trials select dogs for different qualities.Ruffshooter wrote:In a European Pedigree you will find more trial information than i n most american britts.

Does this mean my Britts isn't original? And they are pure decendants of dogs that came from France. I will admit though over the years I have tried to lessen the coat and add a little more style than my original dogs. Also have bred them to be a little more bold which makes them easier to work with I think. But basically they are still the same dogs we started with that came from Brittany. I wonder what they will call the dogs they import in another couple of decades. By that time we may have American Brits, American French Britts, and the new imports will be French Britts for the third time.The whole purpose of the UKC registration of the French seperate from the American is to help preserve the original brittany and its heritage

Yes I do plan on going back to either France, or perhaps Spain. One of the Judges from Europe said he would like to see Vern run in Spain, where there could be 500 dogs in a trial.
I do get around a bit, but not as much this year, as the price of fuel is ridiculous. I have been blessed with a girlfriend, who enjoys the sport as much as I, so it makes it much easier for me to do something I love.
I like to play all the games. AKC, UKC, FCI, and would like to give NSTRA a try if only the dates didn't conflict with other trials.
I am not even going to start on the whole breed differences thing. This is the brags section. Frankly I find it insulting to say it will be a matter of time before the French Brittany will have good style and run.

Mark, I think you will have to admit that in the early days of the French Brittany movement here the dogs that were being promoted had very little in the style and run department. Then some folks such as yourself have been showing that whether you are in America, France or wherever, a good dog gets the job done.
Obviously your dog has enough style and run for some of the judges. And then there is that Tank dog as well.
When you were in France did you see any of Pierre Terran's dogs? He has always sounded like he runs the type of dogs I would like.

While I was in France, we went over to Pierre Terran's house and met him. He has quite the interesting setup, with all the exotic waterfowl. I saw a number of his dogs, and was considering buying a female for breeding, but sadly it was not in the budget at this time. Pierre is a very nice guy, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him, and would like to visit him again when I get over there again.
