Objective and Purpose: To promote cooperation and friendship among the breeders and owners of Brittanys and to encourage higher standards in breeding, training and showing of Brittanys in the field and in the show ring; to discourage the breed from becoming split into groups of “field dogs” and “show dogs” and to strive to keep it forever a “dual dog”.

His highly popular training seminars teach the “Silent Command System” to dog owners world-wide.

Awhile a number of reasons. A force-fetch program behavior, and has been training both horses and dogs for many years, with several National titles to her back, we talked about encouraging puppies is valuable because it develops more than credit. She is an avid hunter and archer, and in her spare to retrieve, but what about the adult dog? a reliable retrieve; its main value is that it time is working on the first of a series of books on bird While many dogs have an innate desire to teaches a dog to handle training pressure. dog training with Rick Smith. bring the game to hand, there are dogs that, The dog learns to deal with pressure and for a variety of reasons, want nothing to do how to turn it off, and this spills over into all They are required to be absolutely steady to with a bird once it’s dead.

These up a bird in competition. Why? Because he ways of encouraging it to want to pick up are open to all ages of pointers and setters felt it made them “his” and added a level of birds. Before we go further, we’d like to that are bred to cover ground, run big, and control to the handling he did in the field. touch on the topic of the trained retrieve, head for the horizon when turned loose. The retrieving part was just a bonus. The more we can encourage a dog to retrieve before starting a formal retrieving program, the more easily the dog will learn it. Beginning with puppies makes it even easier because puppies all seem to have that innate desire to chase things and pick them up. Adult dogs that haven’t had any play retrieving encouraged can be more of a challenge, but they’ll usually catch on with some help. The real challenge is an adult dog that’s been hunting for a few seasons without doing any retrieving. These are the ones that usually benefit most from a formal force- fetch program. We don’t take our pointing dogs through a formal program until they’re at least a year old and have one hunting season under their belts. If they show a natural tendency to retrieve, we encourage and develop it; but we like their first season to focus on finding birds. How do we develop the natural retrieve? By Using prey drive the dog already has. Some dogs will run to a shot bird, sniff it for a second or two, and leave it, looking for something live to point. Other dogs may mouth the bird or pull a few feathers and pick at it. Both behaviors can be built upon to develop a natural retrieve. Usually, the dog hasn’t been in many situations where

5 it’s actually “caught” the bird and had time to check it out. They pounce on it and aren’t sure what to do next. This is where we shot them their options: Letting a dog mouth a bird in preparation to pick it up is a good think; letting it bite and rip it to pieces is not. It’s important to note the difference because coming down hard with a correction when a dog has never picked up and held a bird can create problems down the road. You don’t want the dog to think it isn’t supposed to touch a bird, and a harsh correction at the wrong moment tells a dog that picking up birds is bad. How do we set up the situation to show the dog the difference? Use a checkcord so you have some control of the dog, and toss a dead bird (with no blood on it, since blood tends to encourage chewing) for the dog to retrieve. Usually, an inexperienced dog will run to it because they’re excited but not pick it up. The first time or two, let the dog geed a good sniff and maybe even pull a few feathers. Then start throwing the bird and let the dog go to it, but immediately and gently pull the dog back to you. It’s important that you loses interest. Always leave ‘em wanting more. You may have to don’t make a sharp correction with the checkcord, because the dog repeat this over a few days. Eventually, the dog will start picking up may relate the correction to the bird. the bird because it wants the bird, and picking it up is the only way Try to keep the dog’s focus on the bird. The point of this to have it. exercise is to tease the dog with the bird and make the dog crazy Now that the dog has started picking up the birds, what happens with wanting it.

First of all, don’t immediately grab at the bird as soon as the to let it stay by the bird, and it will start trying to bring the bird along dog gets to you. Use your checkcord and gently keep the dog’s head when you use the checkcord to reel the dog in. up so it can’t put the bird on the ground to chew. Pet the dog and let Try to make the experience as exciting as you can for the dog, it enjoy its prize for a few seconds. If the dog dropped the bird upon especially if it has shown no real interest before in picking up a bird. return, that’s fine for now; it can be finished up during the trained You may even want to use a bird with the flight feathers pulled and retrieve. On the other hand, some dogs don’t want to give the bird let the dog chase it a bit. It’s important to not overdo this so the dog up, and how you handle this sets the tone for future deliveries.

6 Never pull a bird from a dog’s mouth: This encourages a game of tug-of-war and can lead to a hardmouthed dog. CHANGE IN Tri-Tronics AWARD DATES You’ll need to teach a release, and there are two easy ways to accomplish this: First, reach under the dog’s head to the jaws, with The TriTronics Shooting Dog Award points year your palm facing up.

Another method is to take your hand, palm held in May with the original dates chosen so the down, and touch the dog on the shoulder. Slide your hand down the dog’s back toward the flank area.

This creates often enough, the touch on the shoulder becomes a cue that tells the confusion with contestants as to whether placements dog to release because it knows the flank comes next. During all of this, never make a harsh correction. That will go toward current year or following year tabulations. come back to haunt you later on because the dog will relate anything By establishing the new points year from July 1 to negative you do to having a bird in its mouth. And that’s just like a June 30th, the award start and end dates move to a gunshy dog: It’s a man-made problem that is much easier to prevent time of year where there is no trial activity whereby than to cure.

For the current points year, the dates are May fetch program.

None of this training takes the place of a serious trained-retrieve program, but it certainly encourages a dog to start picking up birds, Let me know if you have any questions. and can be a big step toward a finished bird dog – one you can be Kent D.

None Held Back and Other Bird Dog Stories

By Tom Word Satin Doll His best dog, Satin Doll, stood tenth in the points, earning her a place in the Quail Championship Invitational, the three-day Part One contest for the top twelve. She’d go down an hour on Saturday, another hour Sunday at a different time of day. Then the judges would call back the ones they liked best for two-hour heats on Monday. They’d pick the winner considering all four hours. He’d won it once, his biggest thrill; he might win this year with Doll, but it wasn’t likely, for she was ten, showing her age, and the field was strong, the best of the best. But the chance of winning kept him from total despair. He listed his worries as he rolled: tires, engine, running lights, the chance that Doll would come in heat and be disqualified (she was way overdue, bust since she was ten, he expected she’d probably ceased to ovulate). Mostly he worried about the horses; he was down to his favorites, the little bay mare, the black gelding; his toughest and best, but not enough to get him comfortably through three days of the Invitational. A fresh handling horse was essential. His scouting deal with fellow pro Staunch Brothers, by Claiborne Gregory, Jr. Billy Kahn meant he must ride two braces a day, and he’d like Ed Paine drove the old ford 350 alone through the to ride more.

11 THE FALCONER AND THE HIGGINS REMOTE RELEASER An Interview with Brad Higgins By Tom WordBy Martha H. Greenlee © Brad Higgins is a falconer. He is also a professional dog The Higgins remote releaser allows the bird to do the training. trainer who resides in Newcastle, CA. He trapped his first hawk at It is a metal cage made of laser cut steel with a lid that opens slowly sixteen years old and acquired his first pointing dog shortly after. and silently so it does not scare the bird or get the dog’s attention. Somewhere along the way he became interested in training pointing The bird is free to go when it feels pressure from the dog. dogs, and his approach to pointing dog training was influenced This past spring Brad was invited to help put on a dog training by what he learned from falconry. For twenty-two years, he has seminar at my kennel in Virginia and talk about his releasers. I worked dogs and hunted wild birds in the Sierra Nevada foothills had purchased three of them and wanted to understand how to use near Sacramento, but as wild bird populations declined, he was them. Following the seminar, we sat down at the kitchen table and challenged to look discussed how he came up with the idea for them. Brad explained that the best training he had ever done was when he trained on wild birds. He said, “Wild birds teach a dog how to point naturally. The dog runs the birds up. The birds fly away, so the dog can’t catch them. The dog starts to pause before he pounces, and finally he starts to point.” Brad said that he was looking for a device to use with pen- raised birds that would give him a natural release. He needed some kind of container that was open enough to allow the bird’s scent to flow naturally. The lid had to open slowly, so the bird was not flushed, and it had to be quiet, so the dog did not hear it. There was a lot of experimenting with three years spent making prototypes before he finally came up with the Higgins remote releaser. “The releaser is so simple,” Brad explained. “I put one in the field and open it when I get the dog in the area. If the bird leaves early, I get a stop-to-flush. If the bird holds, I get a point. Anytime the dog pressures the bird, the bird flushes. The releaser allows the dog to relate to the bird just like it was a wild bird.” Brad explained that his background in falconry and those experiences as a falconer helped him understand the nature of dogs. “Hawks and dogs are both predators. They think alike,” Brad said. “If I hunt a hawk with a dog, they learn to hunt together very quickly. The hawk does a lot to train the dog because the dog watches the hawk, and when they get successful, they do it again. Predators don’t have a lot of time to learn things. They only have a few opportunities, so they need to be successful or they die. That’s why dogs have the ability to put things together so quickly. They are predators, so it’s in their nature to do that.” Brad gave an example of how quickly dogs learn from their prey. “You take an experienced dog that’s been hunted on a preserve where they plant and shoot. He’s learned he can get relatively close to those pen-raised birds, and he knows at what distance he’s going to work them. You take him late season hunting on wild pheasants. What does he know? He knows pen-raised pheasant, and he knows how close he can get. So he gets half-way to where he wants to be and boom the birds are gone. Dog says, ‘Man that’s not going to work.’ The second time he finds a pheasant, he points it from way back. That’s how quick he learns. He doesn’t continue to go in and flush those birds. He learned from the bird. That bird said, ‘No, not me. I’m not going to hold.’ From that moment on, that dog pointed those birds way back.” Brad wanted to train dogs the same way, so the dog learned from the bird and not the trainer. He wanted the dog focused on the bird not focused on him. “Birds are valuable things to dogs, and the for a way to make pen-raised birds act like wild birds. His solution releaser allows dogs to relate to them. The releaser is open, and the was the Higgins remote releaser. bird can leave anytime. The bird is aware of the dog, and the dog is 12 paying attention to the bird. He knows the bird is loose. He’s going by putting four quail in the releaser. “I’ll leave them in the releaser to be very careful what he does.” for a few minutes before I remotely open it. Then it may be fifteen Brad went on to explain how to use releasers and gave me minutes before I get back with a dog. When I get there, the birds some tips. I told him that I had figured out how to control the bird’s have become a covey. They have left the releaser, and they’re in the behavior to some degree by using different types of cover to plant weeds somewhere. It’s a very natural way to get a covey.” the releasers. For instance, birds seemed to flush earlier when the Brad had to catch a plane and return to California—our time cover was more open. “Think wild birds,” Brad said. “In light was up. After he left, I found myself sitting at the kitchen table cover, the bird won’t let the dog get as close. In heavy cover, the again going over my notes. Releasers were so different from bird lets the dog get closer.” He said releasers worked the same launchers. Was my previous experience with launchers necessary way, and how fast birds flushed could be manipulated by the type of cover in which the releasers were placed. “You really do have some control, but it’s still all about the bird. The bird leaves when it feels pressured.” I was curious about timing and how long Brad waited to open the lid. He explained that the cover and type of training he was doing determined when he opened the lid. He gave an example. “If I want to work a dog on stop-to-flush, I bring the dog into the area of the releaser and open it. I continue working the dog. Now, the bird is free, and he’s out there like a wild bird in the field, and the dog hasn’t scented it. When the dog gets close enough, the bird is going to feel pressure, and he’s going to leave.” Brad gave another example. “If I want the dog to point, I’ll take him across the scent cone. I try to open the lid just before he first shows interest. I don’t wait until the dog is roading in and then open it. I always want the releaser open when the bird decides it is time to go. The bird is teaching the dog how close he can get. The bird is awake. He has not been spun, and he is not dizzy. He is to truly appreciate releasers? My first experience with releasers was ready to go, and he knows the dog is there.” still clear in my mind. I closed my eyes and replayed it. I mentioned to Brad that my dogs ignored releasers when they A white and orange dog turned into the wind, her tail drawing were empty, and I really liked that.

Making it look easy: How to Develop Your Handling Skills by Dave Marshall

The dilemma most field dog people face is how to get their dogs specific situation. Some people would think that if you make a from place to place in a hunting cover or field trial ground with ease dog go forward on a whistle, another handler can control your dog and consistency. How many times have you heard a hunter say, “I around birds by using his whistle to push your dog into the birds. need my dog to hunt with me”? A field trialer will say, “I turned him When your dog learns to work with your commands in certain loose and he disappeared over the hill,” or “I just can’t keep my dog situations, even with whistle signals, you will not have problems steady!” In this article, I will discuss how to avoid these problems, with another handler’s whistle. and how to address them when they occur. Next, you remember our voice command to turn is whup. In Controlling any dog is a matter of developing a set of skills basic training, we used a check cord to teach inside turns (right hand that can be applied when necessary to hunt or field trial with turns on left hand casts, left hand turns on right hand casts), always success. When all is working smoothly, the idea is that you are making our student turn towards the inside. All one needs to do is controlling your dog without he or she looking controlled. It simply say the word whup when the dog turns inside, and he will pick it up looks “right.” Like many things that appear skillful and effortless, quickly. To advance his training, use the E-collar to enforce the turn preparation is involved. This is the key to getting good results as a at longer range. I work on these skills in an open field at first, than handler while guiding, competing, or hunting. advance to cover when my prospect masters the lesson. Controlling a dog is matter of self-discipline on the handler’s Now we have two great tools to work with. We can make him part, as well as a timely and effective process of evaluation that go when we say, and make him turn whenever we want him to. The encompasses changes in the environment and the dog. The concept here is to control your dog’s direction to a reasonable extent, system works best when the dog understands your commands and and keep him to the front, whether in open areas or in cover. expectations, and trusts that you as his handler are monitoring him. Speed and distance will be up to you. At what distance do We begin by building on some early training skills we established you feel comfortable handling your dog? If you are field trialer, when our prospect was a pup. speed and distance should be as fast and forward as possible, still maintaining control. A hunter may not need the distance but speed is good to locate game. I just use my voice to control turns to keep him in the cover with me when hunting. In a field trial, I like to push my dog with the whistle if necessary, then turn him with my voice. Let him go the distance he needs, and turn him when needed. That makes it look easy, but we know it all started with basics from puppyhood. The next step is the finished performance on game. Before you picture the dog on point, let me say that the way a dog goes to his birds is the important part of judging the excellence of an individual. Specifically, how he or she finds the birds and tells you exactly where they are located is the essence of all bird dog work. The finished product, after point is established, is purely a matter of genetics, how much homework you have done, and the way you have carried all of this to its fruition. In the field trial works, style and intensity on point will get you a long way. I enjoy a very stylish hunting dog as well. Therefore, finish work is important. I call it polish. In all our basic work we taught the word whoa, concentrating In all training there has to be a foundation, a base line on keeping our dog stationary on the word. We used pigeons to established from the beginning of the dog’s training, and engrained teach steady to wing, always thinking to maintain the dog’s integrity continuously as we develop our prospect. In previous articles, around birds. Now in the polishing process we use all the tools we I explained how this is done. We now go on to apply our early established earlier to complete a finished find with style, and adding learning to get the most out of our dogs. If you did not have your one more word: heel. dog from puppyhood, you must backtrack and improvise on what Most handlers forget about how important the heel command he has learned in his life and work from there. is. I use the word heel after I say whoa always, approaching the From the beginning we always started our pup with a two blast standing dog and brining him to a heel position as I pass him closely. whistle signal. This teaches our dog to go on any whistle (move I then release him with that two blast whistle command, sending forward on the whistle). This is the first step to control, and the him in an opposite direction every time. The dog moves straight easiest. Practice a two blast whistle signal when you release the away with speed. After a few sessions of whoa with heel then quick dog. breakaway, your prospect learns to enjoy his yard training (the key Remember we are now working with an older dog, and a to style).

20 Now let’s add this work to the dog standing on point. When we find our dog standing, walk past him while giving him space to maintain point, saying whoa in a low tone, flush the bird, walk back to the dog; say heel. He is waiting to get each command, and will stand better to wing and shot. Collar him if you want, reverse direction, and give a two blast whistle to send him straight away. No delayed chase, and a finished find, made to look easy because you have done your homework. When hunting, a retrieve is wanted. In this situation you just flush and shoot. You have taught him to expect a command after

the dog smell the bird in the trap, so I work against the wind, I want this lesson to be strictly a sight thing. Then I say the word, “Look.” Release the pigeon from behind the silhouette. Each time you show your dog the backing silhouette, show him a pigeon, then say, “Look.” Most all dogs will sight point a pigeon on open ground. All I am doing is transferring his natural instincts to the backing dummy. With repetition, your dog will no longer think the silhouette is a dog. He will see it as a pigeon, and will sight point it with style every time. Once the silhouette training is mastered, show your dog other dogs on point, saying the word “look” each time and showing him a bird each time. Use the word “Look” every time. Do not say whoa. I want the dog to associate the word “look” with another every shot. Go to him and tell him to heel briefly in the opposite dog on point, and he must honor that dog. After several sessions, direction before you give the fetch command. You will have when you say, “Look,” he or she will look for a dog on point, and finished, stylish finds when hunting as well. back with style. When in a trial you can use the word look and most If you are a field trialer you will need to have a dog that will judges will not associate it with anything. Say whoa and the judge back (honor another dog’s point). It is also mannerly to have a dog thinks your dog is not a good backer. This technique is just a tool to that backs if you hunt with a friend and his/her dog. There are a help your dog work better, and make it easier for you to control the number of ways to get a dog backing with style and consistency. If situation, without you looking like a controller. you have a natural backer you should teach him backing anyway, Whether handling your dog in a hunting situation or in a because control is the key to consistency. I always start with a field trial, control is the secret to being consistent. Yard training backing silhouette, (a wooden cutout of a dog). Place a release trap and keeping your dog up on basic skills is the way to establish and with a pigeon in it behind the wooden dog. Bring your dog up with maintain control, therefore making it look easy. a check cord, let him suddenly see the dog. I try to avoid letting

He wanted to learn about bird hunting, so and served many, many cold dinners as the two came dragging he called one of his great uncles (an avid bird hunter) who in late at night, muddied and exhausted. As Nicki matured she suggested a Brittany (and here you all thought I was rambling, became a beautiful bitch, chestnut (liver) and white. She was but wait my rambling gets worse, much worse). When always ready to hunt, but when UB approached Nicki seemed 24 to instinctively know what he needed. UB walked Nicki, UB watered Nicki, UB did just about everything the handler asked him to do. The entire time UB was sharing with OH and me everything the internet could tell him about Brittanys. Years pass, OH and UB attend as many events as economics allow them to, always several a year. OH mentioned on many occasions that UB was by far the youngest, want to be handler, that attended the events. OH shared with me that many (most) of the handlers were nearing retirement or already in retirement. Both I and OH work, and as a fairly young family, we still have a couple of car payments, a house payment and sundries other payments due every month. I asked OH once how much a pup was going to cost, and was not really surprised with the $750 to $1000 figure she quoted to me. Not really sure how we were going to swing that kind of money. Still it all boiled down to the fact that the kid was learning, the kid was interested, and the dog would be a lynch pin to the process. Somehow or the other we would come up with the money. Not surprisingly a few months later, the breeder called and let us know that Nicki was in heat and had been bred. What seemed like an eternity later we were greeted by a healthy litter of both orange and liver pups. Of course UB and OH had to see the pups, and as soon as the breeder felt comfortable that the pups were holding their own she allowed UB and OH into her home to see the passel. UB bonded quickly with a Liver and White bitch that while smaller than understand (keep in mind UB is 10 years old) “JoJo” is UB’s most of the litter, was the most precocious of the bunch. She dog, and when the breeder wants to borrow her, the breeder was the first over the whelping box rail, one of the most vocal, asks the 10 year old for permission. JoJo is in the breeder’s and generally a pest when humans were present. At least once and UB’s name with the AKC, but Jojo belongs to UB. a week UB and OH drove the hour or so South, to spend time Now I have rambled for the better part of 10 mins of your with the pups and the breeder, always in her home, always reading to get you to this point. learning. What’s in it for UB, he has a dog that is a learning, Several weeks after the pups were born, OH broached the teaching, discovery aid. The dog is priceless. subject of purchasing the smaller Liver pup that was already What’s in it for the breeder? She made nothing on the well bonded with UB. OH called me on the way home that sale of the dog (yes money exchanged hands, that’s NOT the evening, a little upset and said the breeder “was vague and point).What the breeder has done is “stored” what has turned evasive” when asked how much the Liver bitch was going out to be one of her best breeding, in a safe place for the to be. I told her to give the breeder some time and approach future. What the breeder has done has taken more than 4 years her on the next visit. We clearly did not have $1000 to buy to cultivate a lifelong relationship. Perhaps a lifelong passion a puppy at the time. By this time the little girl had gained for the breed. However the single most important thing the ample weight and while still not pick of the litter, was turning breeder has done is to ensure the successful continuation of into a fine textbook example of a Brittany.

Perhaps more important, Brittany Spaniels could be the reason for each point. It has survived with but a few changes compared to other sporting breeds. Such comparisons could often since.

But in realize why this was so. 1946, several champions were larger than the agreed upon height.

But it also is the result of the Dr. Ruskin, [ABC President] Jack Whitworth, Jerome N. Halle, breeding, training, field trialing, and exhibiting by Brittany owners Edward Dana Knight, and the author. Knight was a fine sporting in America since 1946. dog judge. He was a great student. He exhibited English Springer Spaniels at shows and trained them for field. He also ran English Setters in American Field trials, and he usually had an American Foxhound or two. Jerome Halle had run Pointers in American Field field trials while an undergraduate at Cornell University. He, too, was a fine sporting dog judge. His early, and long association with Brittany Spaniels is well known. These two, and the author, were thoroughly familiar with the tragic split of the English Setter into two breeds-bench and field. Knight, and the author, were watching the split of English Springer Spaniels into two breeds. Both fought against this split and lost. However, Knight felt that, if the Brittany Spaniel was to get anywhere as a bench dog, it would have to develop the heavy coat and feathers of modern sporting bench dogs, and the rounded fatness of so many of them. American Brittany Club officers and members did not want this to happen because the inevitable result would be a split of the breed into two varieties, bench and field. Halle, and the author, argued that the Brittany standard should be so written that no such split would be possible. One result was that the American Brittany Club began a policy of holding bench shows along with field trials. That meant that field dogs could come out of the field and compete, as they were, for bench championships. It is this factor which caused the standard writers to prescribe a dog without excessive coat and feathering. Halle and the author also argued that the Brittany Spaniel could compete on equal terms with other breeds in the sporting group at dog shows if sporting dog judges could be properly trained.

DAVID KENNEY REPRINTS # 28 Reprinted from: THE LAST BOBWHITE, DAVE KENNEY’S OUTDOORS IN FACT AND FICTION “Musings . . . of a Field Trial Judge” Pages 123 – 124 One of the fringe benefits of being a field trial judge is that applied themselves to the task of hunting, sustained their effort one can take the book home and live the stake over in days that throughout the heat, and finished strongly. follow. If the judge is fortunate his review of his notes leads him In the amateur all age stake the winners were bold to the point to the same conclusion as before. of being headstrong, chose for themselves their objectives while But that is not what these musings are about. This sometime responding to their handlers’ general direction, pointed birds judge has just gone over the results of all stakes in a recent trial intently and with good location, and hunted a scent-filled bird in which he judged two. He was struck by the dominance of field aggressively without pottering or losing character. There certain lines of breeding in five stakes with large entries, judged is little doubt that the other set of judges sought similar qualities by two pairs of arbiters. in the stakes they judged. Field trials, we have agreed, take place in part to improve Thus we can conclude that the sires and dams whose sons the breed. That suggests a close attention to the breeding of and daughters were repeatedly recognized with placements in winners. Consider this: in last weekend’s trial three of the four this trial are capable of transmitting the qualities we seek. If winners, two of them littermates, in an amateur all age stake with you wish to know their names, study the reports of this spring’s 24 starters, were sired by the dog that won the 40-entry all age trials and you will find that in every part of the continent most stake.

It is important that judges look for quality, so that Another dog, one that gained an important win earlier this dogs of both sexes capable of transmitting it may be identified. year on the grounds used last weekend, was in this trial and was the sire of the third place puppy, second place derby, and (Reprinted from the American Brittany, June, 1984) third place limited all age. Again, two sets of judges shared in awarding these placements. The juveniles that won first and second in the puppy stake were fourth and first, respectively, in the derby. Again the two stakes were judged by different sets of judges. The sires of these dogs can be credited with each siring two winners in this trial. Thus we find that of 20 placements awarded in five stakes, eleven of the winners were sired by four dogs, and one of the four was himself the first-place dog in the largest of the stakes. Surely this is evidence of the prepotency that through field trialing we seek. What qualities did we see in the dogs that we placed? In the puppy stake the winners ran boldly forward, showed a willingness to handle, went to birdy objectives,

This membership campaign is really quite simple, we are asking every member ­to donate/sponsor a membership in the American Brittany Club. This “gifted” membership might be to a puppy purchaser, or a friend/acquaintance who has a Brittany. All of us encounter people who may just need a little encouragement to become members­. This can work, but it is totally dependent upon your support. Please use the ABC application form in the back of the magazine to enroll a new member today. You may donate/sponsor multiple new memberships. The names of new members & ABC sponsors will be published in the magazine on a quarterly basis. THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
