6 Obedience/Agility/Rally
By Lisa Shubitz
Brittany Agility Trial at the 2014 Summer Specialty This trial was held at an indoor soccer field in Oklahoma City in air conditioning on Friday, June 27th, 2014, with two independent trials running at the same time. First of all, kudos to Ragan Kimbro and others who put in much hard work in securing the excellent site and coordinating the event long before any of us stepped into the building for a fun day of agility. And thanks to trial committee members Amanda McGavin, Lisa Brower, Jim Bryson, and Lisa Shubitz. The trial day started at 6:30 in the morning with unloading equipment from the trailer. Nearly everyone was present by 7:30 and most pitched in to build the ring and set courses, including our enthusiastic and friendly judge, Sally Sheridan. Eighteen handlers and 26 dogs entered at all levels of competition, from Novice A (Yay to our up and coming newcomers to the sport!) to Masters, which included several of the top ranked Brittanys in the country. For me, it was a blast to see all these dogs as I live in a state where, for years, I have had the only Brittany running agility. The courses were challenging but fun, showcasing the speed and fun-loving attitudes of our Brittanys, but also their ability to respond to their handlers and perform tough weave entrances at speed and manage technical lines. Running started at 9AM and continued steadily throughout the day with multiple course changes and some down time between classes, enough for people to chat, play with their dogs, and partake of the beautiful cake with this year’s Summer Specialty logo on it. There was lots of clapping and cheering for all the dogs, and even the ones that made up their own courses ran with great enthusiasm and had a wonderful time. Judge Sally said she enjoyed judging these dogs very much. One-year-old Scott Taylor, a future Brittany guy and the son of one our Novice class exhibitors, helped gate steward for novice and watched his mom and her dog finish their Novice titles. He was a real trooper all day! By the end of this fun-filled day, all were tired, dogs and people, but nearly everyone pitched in to clear the equipment off the field and load it back into the trailer as our agility ring quickly converted back into a soccer field at 5:30 pm. We gathered for a group photo of dogs and handlers to commemorate our fun. In a final gathering of agility people, most stayed for pizza and “talked shop” – training, trialing, and how to make this event happen again! Many dogs and handlers walked away winners from this trial, with awesome toys or Brittany Agility tote bags for High in Class at each level. From the Masters and Excellent classes, High in Trial for Trial 1 went to Terry Santelli and Trump (CH Credit Kaze's Capital Gains AXJ AX), and High in Trial for Trial 2 was won by Lisa Shubitz and Sprite (MACH2 PACH Cimmaron Sunrise Windsprite).

FEATURING BREEZE, RESCUE TO 3 TIME AGILITY CHAMPION By Carla Simon
MACH3 Breeze came a long way from being rescued in Coal Valley, Illinois, to three MACHs and competing at the national level.
Breeze came to Marcia Whitmore in 1998 as a 9-12 month old pup who had been left in a crate and ignored after her mother had been rebred. Evidently, Breeze wasn't sold by the backyard breeder and finally, animal control of Muscatine, Iowa took Breeze, her mother and puppies away from the owner.
When Marcia brought Breeze home it appeared she had never been outside! After lots of patient training and love she blossomed and began her career as an agility champion. MACH3 Breeze competed in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 AKC Agility Nationals. She was also invited to the AKC Agility Invitational 3 times. Breeze is now nearly 16 years old and very fragile...but Marcia says “her determination and love shines through her eyes every day that we have....and each day is precious”.

SPRING CLEANING… ATTICS, CLOSETS OR GARAGES
The Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame is looking for very early historical items that depict the development of the Brittany. We have acquired a hand written letter from 1949 by Lucien H. Ufford. He was one of the very early breeders of the Brittany under the kennel name of Loufel. Items of this nature should not be discarded as we now have a place to display them to be shared with all dog enthusiasts. We are looking for: The oldest trophy - dated, with a Brittany on top… Let us know if you have one. Also, the old original paper manuscript of the Fred White book “The Brittany In America”. We know that some one has one. Are you willing to donate this to the Brittany Museum in Grand Junction, Tenn.? Look around, there is a lot of “stuff” just sitting in some ones possession that needs to be enjoyed by all dog persons. Our history needs to be preserved and shared with others and we now have such a place. Contact a Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame Officer or Director to see if what you have is museum worthy.

46 In Memory of Great Men
AY and I lost a dear friend June 27 and the field trial world lost one of our R oldest stalwarts of the Brittany breed. David Templeton Kenney had just turned 92 years of age. He was reporter supreme, judge, competitor, author of political and historical books and ramblings of field trial stories, an ABC Life Member, Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame Member, Illinois Conservation Outdoor Recreation Hall of Fame Member, FTCI Awards, and former longtime officer of the Illinois Brittany Club and co-founder of the Illinois Brittany Championship. He was professor emeritus of political science at Southern Illinois University, was a noted historian, author, and conservationist. He started a number of projects and programs that still benefit outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Those who knew David Kenney professionally said, "He was a scholar...... a great teacher." "An honest and a dedicated public servant." "A true gentleman and 'model of nobility'" David and his wife, Wanda, assisted many college students over the years and did so without recognition. He also delivered Meals on Wheels when it first started and continued the deliveries for many years. David took me under his wing when I moved back from Arizona to Illinois and immediately put me to work in Illinois field trials. I spent many a night at their home in Springfield and had wonderful adventures on Northern Pike fishing trips to Canada. We spent every New Year's Eve bringing in the New Year at Bob and Audrey Dudenbostel's home, neither of whom are now gone, and looked forward to our visits each time we went to St. Louis to Ray's son's at Christmas and holidays. He expected them! David was like a part of our family. He was a very unique individual. He so enjoyed seeing his articles re-published in the Brittany Magazine and hoping that new people would learn and appreciate the life he had so loved. He continued to write letters until just recently when his health began to fail. David is survived by nieces and nephews and many friends in Carbondale, Ill., who bestowed many local honors on him throughout the years. Maurine Ricter, secretary of the Illinois Cub, was David's executive secretary during his years in Springfield and will also miss him terribly. God blessed us all by giving us David to guide us and set a sterling example of what a true sportsman, conservationist, friend and field trialer should be.
Funeral services were held July 12 at First Presbyterian Church in Carbondale, visitation preceding the funeral, with graveside burial with military rites following. Mary Jo Trimble Carterville, Ill. Deeply Missed.
ill E. Young passed away on May 31, 2014, after a lifelong battle with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin BDeficiency. He was a radio and television legend who charged headlong into every project with an energy and passion that was unmatched. Bill’s radio career spanned almost three decades and his production company was one of the leading radio and television services in the nation. His commercials air somewhere in the world every 22 seconds and his legendary voice was heard nationwide. He created music videos for George Strait, Clay Walker, Clint Black and too many others in the entertainment industry to mention. Bill was a longtime member of Texas Coastal and field trialed during the 80's to the mid 90's until his health precluded his participation. He used the kennel name DeLamont for most of his dogs: Buck DeLamont, Beauregard DeLamont, Ce Cher Femme DeLamont, Sir Brandy K, L&M Ramblin’ Rose (a Perry’s Rustic Prince daughter). He and his wife Sharon were active in the club, supporting the club field trials and opening their home to summer socials. After his years of trialing, he continued breeding occasionally focusing on keeping Rimarda’s Trademark prominent in his pedigrees. During leisure time, Bill and Sharon loved to quail hunt on the family’s South Texas ranch where Bill ran and trained his Brittanys. Bill will be hunting now with the Brittanys he so loved who passed before him. Our sincere condolences to Sharon and the rest of his family. Bill E. Young
