Hi,

I just wanted you to see our dog Ruby that we got from you at Game Fair 2 years ago.  I see that you now have a litter from her parents Feebee & Rocky.  She is by far one of the best dogs we have ever owned! She loves everyone and is a great pointer.  Everyone that meets her comments on how nice a dog she is.  So if anyone is thinking of purchasing a puppy from your current litter, I would highly recommend your dogs! Thanks again for a great dog!

Hi Lais Kennels,
This is Hunter, all grown up (from Sarah and Rocky's litter).  His "baby picture" is on your testimonial page (he's the one napping on the plaid blanket).  He will be 9 months old in a few days.  So far, we've taught him to "sit", "come", and we're still working on how to "shake", and walk nicely on a leash.  His pointing instinct is fabulous!  In this picture, he's pointing at robins in our yard…..a favorite past time.  My husband took him out pheasant hunting last fall and he did great.  He ran with the adult dogs to get the flavor.  There's nothing prettier than a shorthair pointing!  We will visit you at the Game Fair this summer if you'll be there. 

Warm Regards,
Jeff and Elyse M. & family

Hello Bob & Sharon,

My husband and I got a GSP from you a few months ago, Dutchess. Ironically I had wanted to name our pup that so the name stuck and she's still Dutchess. And it sure fits because she thinks she's royalty! :) She is of course a spoiled and very energetic little pup and keeps us on our toes. She really is a little tornado.She's not quite 5 months yet, but a big pup and she'll be a large dog. Aaron has been working with her on retrieving and she is doing very well as long as there are no distractions, but she is still young and playing is much more fun. She is pointing at a pheasant wing and recognizes the scent. Also she likes to bring me presents, mostly things I don't care for, such as a goose wing, a frozen sparrow that died during a cold snap, sticks, corn cobs and my favorite sheep poop. :)

What a character!! She loves people and we're working with her not to jump up for attention. I tell everyone that she thinks all people's life revolves around her and that they were put on Earth to play with/entertain her. She sleeps very well in her kennel at night and never made much for noise from the get go. She is very smart and picks up on commands extremely fast and has known several tricks and commands for months now, such as; sit, lie down, roll over, stay, and drop it and to kennel up. Next time we're heading thru we'll let you know and maybe swing by to say hello, please do the same. Thanks again for the wonderful dog,

Aaron and Bethany L.

P.S. Penny (our 7 yr old GSP) even likes having a play mate, I think she often wishes there was an off switch to either make her nap or slow down though. :) Sometimes I agree!!

I am interested in geting her into some hunting tests/field trials, any help or info you could help me with would be extremely appreciated. WHAT A GREAT SEASON!!!!! thnx

Happy New Year!

 

I thought you might find this interesting news

 

I ran into a fellow Brittany owner, and she had these old magazines that had our older dog ‘Flame’ on the cover.   The photographer must have took the picture two years ago at Kelly farm during a Hunt Test.  He lost my name and I forgot the name of the magazine. I figured he just never user the picture.      
 
If you get this magazine - you may not have know one of your pups was on it.

Hi my name is Tim I purchased a brittany from you in Sept. of 06, just to let you know what a great dog she is turning out to be both hunting and family wise. she is so good on grouse and pheasant for being so young. All the training this summer paid off ten fold. Her retrieving is a little strange yet but bringing back birds by the feet is ok by me.

She works nice     and close on grouse and is always aware of where I am hunting ditch parrots. I have shot 8 or 9 grouse and 30 or 40 pheasant so far thie season.



Cont.

She learns very quickly,she's fun to watch.

Some day I will try to send you a picture of Toots or stop by,I would like to see some of your other dogs. Thanks so much.  Any time you need a recommendation just ask thanks.

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to extend our sincere appreciation for the puppies we purchased from you at the 2005 Game Fair show.  Two years later the picture above says it all.   “Patches” our Pointer has become a hunting machine, virtually no commands are even needed in the field,  “Cassie” our Brittany has an unbelievable nose and tracks birds like a shark.  They hunt very well together, Cassie will back Patches automatically, needless to say we a very proud of their abilities.   They transform from gentle home dogs to all business when they hit the fields.

 

Cont.

Yet they make us laugh and smile everyday with their different character and personalities.  Admittedly, I did not do a lot of research prior to purchasing our dogs; however we did make the right choice in selecting a quality family who has developed an awesome breed of dogs.  We could not be happier.  My Son and I stopped by at the Fair this year to say hello, wish we could have taken a couple more home!

Sincerely,

Scott & Nancy B

Hi Rollie and Shelly-
I just was looking at the website and saw the
testimonials tab. So I thought I would take some time
to write a little note to brag about how much I love
my little man. Sorry I was a little bored at work and
wrote two version mine and Ringers. Hope that you
enjoy.

Thank you Rollie and Shelly for keeping Rnger and my
engagement a secret. I was so excited when I saw
Ringer then the ring. Jason knows me to well, I'll say
yes to anything that mean a dog is included especially
if it is a Britt pup. Ringer is something else, what a
smarty pants. He was pretty much potty trained when we
got him (big thank you) but he has also been working
on sit, down, give me five, roll over, crawl and
working on weaving through my leg. These have been to
just keep him out of trouble but he loves to show off
his skills. He also loves his big brother and sisters
but he unsure about why they have long tails. He tries
to bit them off for them. The biggest thing that I
think is funny is after a couple of points he gets
excited and points with his back right paw. I just
wanted to thank you again for bringing him into our
life. Thank you Katy, Jason, Razy (lab/golden), Suki
and Ariel (chessie girls)


Cont.


Thank you Rollie and Shelly for letting Jason surprise
Katy with a ring and me for their engagement. She
thought I was some handsome fella with the ring around
my neck. I was just happy to be able to snuggle, I was
still a little guy at that time. I have been growing
up quickly and Katy says that I'm a little smarty
pants. Since at 14 week, I'm mostly potty trained, can
sit, down, give five, crawl, roll over and she has
tried to get me to weave through her legs. She is also
trying to teach me to heel on a leash. But I keep
telling her that I'm a big boy now and it's more fun
to run with my big brother and sisters off leash. She
does get a kick out of my pointing technique since
when I get excited I point with my back right paw
instead of my front. Well it's getting late and I
need my puppy sleep so thank you for my family, Katy,
Jason, Razy, Suki, and Ariel. Hope to see you again
soon. I'll send picture soon. Since Katy has been my
paparazzi.

Bob and Sharon & family,

Just a note to say "thanks" for being so helpful to us on Friday at the gamefair.  We are enjoying our new male puppy (from Sarah and Rocky's litter).  He is helping our hearts heal after losing our shorthair, Morgan, 2 weeks ago to bone cancer.  Our two boys can't get enough of him :o)    We named our puppy Hunter.  My husband is hoping he'll be a great hunter, and we also named him after Torii Hunter of the MN Twins.  Hunter even has a Twins collar.  The AKC name we've chosen is "Morgan's Lil Pheasant Hunter".  I noticed Sarah's name is Lil Sarah Smile, so we put her name in there as a tribute to his mama.... Thanks again.  Be assured he came home to a very loving and protective family.  Here's a picture of his first day home.  If you'd like occasional updates, we'd be happy to send them!
