I heard today that Ruby’s Dad, “Rev” has passed away. He was a heck of a dog to hunt with, and I’ll miss the chance to do it again. Lots of great memories of this dog, but the one that stands out was when Ruby was a pup and I took her down to run with him in some of his training. She couldn’t have been more than seven or eight months old and his harness caught on her back leg.
Kevin said “whoa” and Rev held like a rock while this puppy yipped and flopped behind him trying to get loose. We got her loose, no one was worse for the wear (except maybe me) and she took off out ahead of us like nothing had happened. I could have sworn Rev gave her a look and then went on about his work.
Great genes and I’m lucky to have a dog sired by him.

Ruby and the family took part in a Field Trial Sunday that was run by the LaSalle Brittany Club. We had a great time, met some nice folks and a lot of Brittanys. Ruby actually took the blue ribbon in the Diaper Derby for pups under six months!
Alot of fun, even tho it was really cold.
We picked up our first Brittany today. Her litter name was “Red” and Ruby seemed a fitting name. She’s a liver and white female and really is quite a gem.Â
I think it was a good omen when we were driving home from Benson and a pheasant bounced off the car.
Ruby is really a sweetheart and is adapting to life in her new home pretty easily so far. Housebreaking is going well and she responds to “come” already. What a great breed this is, I can’t wait to grow up with her. Best Birthday Present ever!
My wife finally got her daughter!
