She came to us in 2006 from the President of the French Brittany Gun Dog Association, Fred Overby, with a sound foundation in obedience and tested field performance. Foxy is very similar to Zeus in gate, drive, field manners, range, and temperament. She has a tremendous amount of heart and natural ability and is one of the most intelligent dogs we have ever met.

	GUN, Vesper’s Belle Du Hunrunr NAVHDA UT PRIZE III, 164 PTS Call Name: Belle Whelped: May 4, 2004 Color: Liver, White, and Orange Height: 19 inches Weight: 34 pounds Hips: OFA Excellent AKC and NAVHDA Registered: Brittany Belle is the little dog that can. She is a close working energetic dog with an ideal pattern for pheasants. She is the easiest dog to live with in our kennel, but don’t let her likable personality fool you, as she lets it all hang out in the field. Her natural tracking (NAVHDA scores of a 4 in track and drag) and retrieving ability compliment her detailed search pattern to make her a great pheasant dog as she rarely bumps a tight holder or loses a cripple. She is a good water dog as her NAVHDA scores of 3 in the duck-search and 4 in the long retrieve will confirm. Belle is spayed and not a part of our breeding program and has the luxury of being a full time hunting dog. To view Belle's pedigree, click on the picture.
