Fun loving, loyal, and energetic.  Those are just some of the words that describe Brie's spirited nature.  She is the result of some of the finest breeding in the country of Wirehaired Pointing Griffons.  Brie carries on the awesome family traditions of her parents, Higgins and Boo, from Whiskeytown Sporting Dogs.  Both are AKC Grand Champions, winners of  Best of Breed honors at the Westminster Kennel Club, and holders of AKC advanced hunting titles.  Brie has surpassed our expectations in both the field and the show ring, and still continues to amaze us.

IN THE FIELD
BRIE
IN THE FIELD

Brie is amazing in the field.  She hunts with an aggressive prey drive while constantly checking back with her owner.  Her reach depends on the cover she's hunting.  If grassland, she'll range out a good distance, and if low brush and tree cover, she'll work closer.  She loves to hunt and her drive keeps her wanting to work for hours in the field.  She answers to the commands she's been trained on.  Her pedigree and breeding contains dogs that have achieved the highest levels of hunting titles in NAVHDA, including Versatile Champion and Utility prized honors, and AKC Master and Senior Hunting titles. 

Brie is registered with AKC as well as NAVHDA and competed in each organization's hunt tests.  In AKC, she earned her Junior Hunter title in four straight test legs prior to her first birthday.  Brie earned her Senior Hunter title when she turned 3 years old.  She is currently training for her Master Hunter title. 

In NAVHDA, Brie earned her Natural Ability 112 Prize I at 12 months old and at two years old earned a Prize III in the Utility Preparatory Test.  She recently trained with her owner at Austin Gun Club and is now a prized Utility Test holder, earning a Prize III in November of 2017.

With her accomplishments in the field she earned her AWPGA Field Dog Title in 2013 and Field Dog Hall of Fame honor in 2017.  Her owner has been responsible for most of her training and handling in the field, but many, very special people have shared their training guidance, support, and experience as well.

IN THE SHOW RING

Brie is currently a Top Winning Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Bitch.  She won back to back AWPGA National Specialty Best of Breed honors in 2015 and 2016, among many of the top Griffons in the country.  In 2016, Brie also won Best of Breed at the Westminster Dog Show in New York City and the AKC National Championships in Orlando.  She won Best in Show honors in Montana and finished the 2016 year ranked #1 in all systems and #17 of all sporting dogs in the country.  No other  Griffon  accomplished in a year, what she did in 2016. 

 

Brie followed that by winning Best of Breed and Sporting Group 2 honors at the 2017 Westminster Dog Show, the highest group placement in the history of the breed.  With further research it was found that Brie earned the highest sporting group placement of any dog with an AKC advanced hunting title (Senior Hunter) in the history of the Westminster Dog Show. 

 

Brie is clearly a special girl, and we are blessed to have her as part of our family.  We were so fortunate that she was handled, cared for, and presented by some of the finest professional handlers in the country during her career.
