Thanks Russ.
Well my dogs are registered in the AKC as Brittany Gun Dogs (American Brittanys) and in the UKC as French Brittany Spaniels or Espagnuel Britain (SP?)
They aren't quite as leggy as the American Britts. I have never had an American Brit. The French Brittany is what the American Brittany came from. Mine are usually natural retrievers, avid hunters of dead and wounded birds, laid back in the house and energetic in the field. The French Brittanys inlcude black and white dogs and dogs with black noses.
NSTRA is amatuer. There is no prize money or puppy stakes. No paid handlers. Naturally it is not as competitive as the big money horseback trials. More like the American Trap Assocation and less like the Pro Golfer's Association
Best,
Mike
