WOW, I can't believe it has been 2 years since I got the phone call on my way to the Red Deer show that the puppies were born. 60 some days since I was out at my first field trials with Kiddy introducing her to Hank. Getting hooked on not only the breed (even more than I was) but also the field trial world.Looking back on the past two years I am amazed at all we have accomplished together. Bliss was the first Brittany in Canada (that we can find after researching extensively) to recieve a Herding Instinct Certificate, and at just over 6 months old. She confidently lifted the sheep off the wall and drove them the length of the building.
A couple weeks before that we went to her first dog show where she took 4/4 reserve winners bitch and 3/4 Best of Breed puppy.
The first field trial she ran as an Open puppy she and I had no idea what we were doing, it was a nice walk together, lol. She had the misfortune to be braced with her half sister, Boo. But this year we have woken up the bird dog in her and I truly believe she excels in the field more than the show ring. Placing in 3/4 Canadian Field Trials and one awesome run down in the states, makes me super excited for next year!!
Though if Bliss isn't broke to wing and shot (and very solidly) we have plans on breeding her to an outstanding male!
I can't wait for many more years to come with my Blissy Blue!!!
