Annabella Brittany Kennels, an outfit run out of Richfield, UT, has the PERFECT environment. They raise the pups for eight weeks, exposing them to multiple environments and training materials. The dogs are held and played with daily by the family's seven children. They are exposed to water, cats, birds and other wildlife and are also introduced to gunfire very early on, so they won't be afraid of it. They spend time training with leashes, grooming, crates and even car rides, etc.. so the pups will be ready for whatever their futures hold.
Most importantly, they are socialized, socialized and socialized some more in order to develop friendly, confident personalities!
Now comes the hard part. WAITING! I put my deposit down to have the first choice of a male pup from a littler planned for next March! MARCH 2013... I know, it's FOREVER away. But my little prince has a gorgeous mom and pop... just LOOK at these faces!
This is the dam (or mom) of the litter I am waiting for! Her name is Sis (short for Sister Suzy) Most folks have American Brittanys for hunting purposes. I just love them because they are playful, protective, friendly and adventurous!
Sis, in her very first field trial! Isn't she gorgeous?!!
This is the sire (or pop) of the litter I am waiting for! His name is Ty (his registered name is FireStarter's Crossed the Line) You can read more about Ty on his very own website!
Ty when he was eight weeks old... which is how old his son will be when I bring him home! With any luck, he'll look just like his poppa!
So, Sis and Ty's litter should be born next March, and I'll get to take home their son by MAY! I have NO idea how I'm going to wait that long! For more information on this litter, please visit the Annabella Brittany Kennel's planned litter page for Spring - 2013.
SOOOOO EXCITED! I hope you all enjoy this journey with me, as I continue to post information, photos and stories about my experience!
And as always, I hope this post finds you JOYFUL!

How terrific...he will definitely be playful and full of energy! I haven't had one in almost 20 years, I live in Muttville now, but they are truly guardians of the home and their master...not overly aggressive but you'll never have anyone sneak up on you or threaten you when he's there. Congratulations! This is like birthing a baby, you'll go through almost 9 months of anticipation.
ReplyDeleteI loved everyone of my doggies. Hunter my first Schnauzer I miss every day, he was the most amazing friend. You will have so much fun Bree, it's like Bridget said it's like birthing a baby. I can't wait to see the photos :)
ReplyDeleteBridget, what a great analogy... nine months of anticipation will give me even more patience for training!
ReplyDeleteNitrous, thank you! I can't wait to have photos to post! SERIOUSLY!
