Our trial history is varied and successful in that we have trialed numerous dogs over 31 years and have won 15 NSTRA Championships, while winning at the regional and national level.  We have placed in American Field with both Pointers and Brittanys, and have run in Brittany stakes in AKC,  and recently took 4th at the 2014 Brittany Western Futurties with Halle in the Gun Dog Stake.  Our track record speaks for itself.

We are not currently trialing at a steady pace, but we have won for so long that trialing is not a concern, breeding is the most important thing.  For the record, one of my pups, Duke, out of Major and Button, owned by Rayce Schneider took second in an AKC Brittany Puppy trial a few years ago, and was handled on foot.  He out ran dogs on horseback, with his handler on foot.  This is quite a feat when a foot handled dog runs 800 yards to the front on his first cast at 13 months of age and handles besides. And the next spring, he won both fields of a NSTRA trial on the same day just an hour apart, and won his NSTRA Amateur Championship in just 7 runs with 6 firsts. 

We are concentrating on our breeding program striving to put these dogs’ progeny on the ground in the hands of other people. It is more important in the long run to get these dogs out into the public than for me to win. If you have trial aspirations, we have all the talent you will ever need to win if you want put the work into it. I will trial a dog for you if you want but personally I would rather hunt, fish, write, drink wine, and enjoy the dogs more as I get older.
