My love with the Brittany breed started with a sad event. The sad event was the death of our beloved Golden Retriever, Bo. Bo was a sweet, loving dog, but he was afflicted with many many health problems from epilepsy to thyroid disease. When we lost Bo, I decided that if we were going to get another dog we were going to get a dog whose breed wasn't know to have major health problems. This started my research. I spent many nights on the computer reading, researching, and trying to find the perfect dog breed for our family. We decided a Brittany sounded pretty good. So we started looking for a breeder. I was interested in finding a female that we could teach obedience and possibly agility. I found a wonderful breeder in Oregon. Sherry Rilea of Three B's Kennels had several show and obedience titles on her dogs. Several of her puppies had been sold to hunting homes, so even though there weren't many hunt titles on her dogs, they had good hunting instincts and abilities. I was very lucky that Sherry had puppies available when I found her. Not only did she have a female puppy available, but she had one that had tested to be a good obedience candidate on her puppy temperament test. I purchased the puppy and she was shipped to us (from Oregon to Alaska). At the time, Sherry told me that the puppy was very correct when compared to the standard and she would also make a very good show candidate as well. I had never thought of showing the dog, but now that thought went on my back burners...and boy did it simmer. We enrolled in puppy classes as soon as Ginny was old enough to attend classes. My son, David wanted to be Ginny's obedience handler, so he was the one teaching her in class and I was watching. I did help work with the puppy at home and I enjoyed it; however, I really wanted a dog to teach obedience to. That funny thought about showing Ginny in Conformation shows began to boil over, so I started looking into show handling classes. I found, Rebecca Brandon. I began learning as much as I could. One of the first things I learned was that it's not easy to learn handling with a puppy and a Brittany puppy (with all their energy) only makes it a little tougher. Ginny wasn't the easiest dog to learn show handling on, but it was fun!! Around the time Ginny was 6 months old, I started thinking that I wanted to get another dog. I, of course, called Sherry. We began talking. I had originally thought about getting a liver and white male and I ended up with an orange and white female. How is that for flexible? I decided if I was going to bring an older dog home, I wanted to meet the dog first...not have it shipped up. So I asked Sherry if I could come and visit. Within a couple of weeks I found myself (with Ginny) in Oregon and at the American Brittany Club Summer Specialty. I watched Sherry groom her dogs. I watched her show her dogs...and watched many other people show their Brittanys. We talked, we went over dogs. I tried to learn as much as I could. Sherry and I decided that her gal, Oneida, would be a good match with us and our home. Oneida had been shown. She knew what she was doing, and she would be able to help me learn show handling. She only needed 6 more points...with one major to finish her championship. As soon as I returned from Oregon, I entered Ginny and Oneida in the series of 3 shows in Palmer, Alaska. Oneida went winners bitch all three days and took home a total of 3 points. Now she only needs her one major.***UPDATE*** Oneida has finished her Championship!! On July 8, 2005, Oneida became a Champion of record with the AKC. Since Oneida has finished her championship, she has retired from the Conformation ring. She and I have been taking obedience classes and working toward becoming Delta Society Pet Partners. Oneida loves to go to class, and she's working hard. I'm very proud of her. We are looking forward to our first breeding with her in May. Please see our Planned Breedings page for information about our planned breeding with Oneida. I believe she will be a wonderful mother, and Ginny will be a wonderful cousin and playmate with Oneida's puppies. Our Kennel name {GO North} honors both Ginny and Oneida and our location, Alaska! In late Fall, '05, Ginny and I began taking more show handling classes. Ginny and I have been learning a lot, and after a bumpy "fun match" preview, she showed WONDERFULLY for me this past weekend. I can't wait to see our new show pictures. Look for them soon. Please click on the girls' names at the top or bottom of this page to learn more about them. Also visit my other pages, and contact me if you have questions.
