Ch. Kinwashkly Whatabirder Flyboy finished his championship in early July, pending AKC confirmation. He is owned by Shawn Macleod and Amanda McGavin and lives in Texas. He was moved up following this win and achieved several wins towards his Grand Championship, including a 5 point major and a Best of Breed win. "Boone" also has juvenile points and adult gun dog placements as he works toward his dual championship. Boone is sired by DC/AFC Kinwashkly Tempo out of Ch. Kinwashkly Instant Replay.

Kinwashkly Roe, FDJ out of a Ch. daughter of 2 time National Gun Dog Ch./Dual Ch. Hope's Chief of Crosscreek (both parents OFA excellent), and a litter whelped May 19th sired by 2018 National Amateur Field Champion/Dual Ch. ANJ's Ohio Hellion out of a Ch. daughter of National Field Champion Roustabout's Flat Out, both parents OFA good. Have been handled a lot, introduced to pigeons, have vaccinations etc. Ready to go now, if going to the US need to leave before August 1st when the new regulations made by CDC come into effect.

The Calgary Pointing Dog Club held their tests in mid June....Patti told me she was entering 5 month old Kinwashkly Sergeant Ryedale, aka "Farmer". She had to show me the rule book stating a 5 month old puppy could compete in the Field Dog Junior tests, since I was skeptical about the age. Nearly all CKC competitions do not allow entry until age 6 months. I crossed my fingers that a five month old puppy could do the job. Boy, did he do the job! He passed both tests, with perfect scores each time. I guess there is something to this natural ability and genetics for a fine bird dog. Farmer is the son of DC/AFC Kinwashkly Wee Johnny D and Ch. Kinwashkly By A Mudslide. I am sure Farmer and Patti will be back in competitions of various sorts in the near future.

We have had two litters of dual champion sired puppies to raise this summer and they have been a lot of fun and a lot of work. Several have already gone into their new homes. We do have a male puppy looking for a home. These will be the last puppies I can possibly sell into the United States as August 1st, the CDC will not allow dogs under 6 months of age to cross the border.

Happy 11th birthday to "Boomer", shown here checking out the Minnesota state flower, showy Lady slippers....Boomer lives in Minnesota with his buddy, Dennis. Also happy birthday to his brother, "Whiskey" and sister "Sheena" (and to his other sister, "Replay" who passed away a few months ago.) Their mom, "Charm" is alive and well at 16.5 years old....

May is a busy month with lots of field trials in the northern states and the province of Alberta, Canada. We are very proud to present two new field champions from our breeding, finishing in May. Roe started the month off at a field trial in Irricana, Alberta where he won a 5 point Amateur shooting dog stake and placed 3rd in the Open Shooting dog stake, giving him the final points to make him a C.K.C. field champion. Roe is now Dual Champion Kinwashkly Roe, F.D.J. and only needs one point to finish his Amateur field title. He has been completely owner handled and trained by Natalie Yarema (with help from many friends). Roe is a 4th generation Dual champion from our breeding, with his sire, DC/AFC Kinwashkly Tempo, being a son of DC/AFC Kinwashkly French Velour who is out of DC Kinwashkly Sunshine Girl. Roe's dam is Ch. Kinwashkly Instant Replay, daughter of Am. & Can. DC Kinwashkly Dirty Ned Pepper. The day after he finished his title, Roe became the father of a huge litter of 14 puppies, born here at our kennels. Roe is the 18th dual champion we have bred!
In New Hampshire, at the Northern New England Brittany Club, young "Wyot" won the Open Gun Dog stake for a 4 point major to finish his A.K.C. field championship. The following week at the Central Maine Brittany Club, Wyot won both the Open and the Amateur Gun Dog stakes. Wyot is now Field Champion Kinwashkly Bree's High Velocity Wyot, owned by Leonard and Gail Sinclair from New Brunswick. At only two and a half years old, Wyot's future looks bright! Wyot has been handled by Leonard to his wins and placements. He was broke steady to wing and shot by Ben Lorenson. He is from the first breeding of NGDC/NAGDC/NWGDC/GFC/GAFC/FC/AFC Magnum High Velocity ex Ch. Kinwashkly French Blaze.

Our young "Harley", Kinwashkly High Velocity Harley, made his field trial debut at 7 months at the Montana Brittany Club spring trial. He placed 3rd in the Open Derby with many finds and 4th in the Open puppy again with many birds pointed. His Canadian debut at the end of May got him 3rd in the Open puppy stake at the Calgary Pointing Dog Club trial. Harley is a brother to Reba.

"Reba" working birds in North Carolina....., loving her life with lots of plans for the fall! Reba is from the repeat breeding of NGDC/NAGDC/NWGDC/GFC/GAFC/FC/AFC Magnum High Velocity and Ch. Kinwashkly French Blaze born Sept. 20, 2024. Her official name is Kinwashkly Brit's Lil Miss Here's Your One Chance Fancy. She lives with her owners, Brittany and Kevin.

The recent decision by the CDC in the United States has profound impacts on our breeding program. Our two May litters might very well be the last ones where we can sell our puppies to customers in the Unites States...we also will have more problems crossing the border for visits, reaching stud dogs, and competing in field trials and dog shows.

Ch. Kinwashkly French Blaze, daughter of NFC/FC/AFC Roustabout's Flat Out and DC Kinwashkly Defiant Diefenbaker, with her happy face. She would like you to know she has recently completed digging halfway to China so now while the other dogs play outside, she gets to come in the house and keep me company. Blaze also has escaped several times by digging out and roaming the country side. She likes to keep me on my toes.

Kinwashkly Brittanys is proud to support the American Brittany Club futurities. The ABC has sponsored these futurities since the late 1940's, which are a field and/or show competition for young Brittanys from a futurity nominated litter. While there have been many changes to the rules of this competition in the following years, the concept of breeding a better dog has remained the same. Really, the breeder is saying I am proud of what I have produced, and believe they can compete with others of the same age. The breeder must nominate the litter within the first 60 days of birth. The people who get the puppy then pay a first forfeit on the puppy the following year, and again pay another fee to actually compete. There are cash prizes for the winning dogs, split two thirds to the owner and one third to the breeder.
We are proud breeders of this year's American Brittany Club Western Gun Dog Futurity winner, "Piper", owner and handler, Adam Pugh, Calgary, Alberta. Piper was bought as a hunting dog, but her young owner was interested in trying field trials and tests and with some successful starts, he decided to go to the futurity in Ritzville, Washington. Adam has been a quick learner and his faith in his dog paid off with this win. Piper's official name is Kinwashkly Pretty In Pink, FDJ from the breeding of DC/GFC Almaden's Under Lock and Key and Ch. Kinwashkly By A Mudslide. Her brother, "Super", placed 3rd in the ABC Central futurity in Texas, too.
There have been 6 Kinwashkly dogs that have won their year's field futurity, many others that have placed, and 3 money winners in the show futurity, and a couple dual award winners. We are very proud of them, and will continue to support the program.

"Reba" went to her first two AKC hunt tests in April, at the age of 7 months and 2 days of age, scoring two qualifying legs towards her Junior Hunter title, with style and enthusiasm. Her owner has bought her an ATV to keep up with her running and plans to do more field events, both tests and field trials in the future. Reba's full name is Kinwashkly Britt's Lil Miss Here's Your One Chance Fancy, from the repeat breeding of NGDC/NAGDC/NWGDC/GFC/GAFC/FC/AFC Magnum High Velocity and Ch. Kinwashkly French Blaze. She lives with Brittany and Kevin in North Carolina.

Our puppies are 8 weeks old and going into their new homes. It has been a very busy week around here, with a lot of plans falling apart at the last moment, but our babies are moving out the door and into new homes and hearts. This here little guy will be called "Farmer" by his new owner, Patti, and more formally known as Kinwashkly Sergeant Ryedale. As you can see, he is a wild creature! (Really, Brittanys can be laid back and mellow, and this one sure is!)😃

My traveling companion on the trip to Arkansas is our new puppy keeper from the Gauge and Blaze litter, "Harley". Harley started out the trip with two other puppies, leaving one at an airport on the way to Arkansas to complete his trip home with a new owner, and getting to meet his sister's new owners from North Carolina. He had many adventures on his trip, from finding a dead raccoon in the woods, meeting many people and horses, playing with other puppies, including Jessica Carlson's slightly older puppy. He learned some lessons, like leash walking, and crate training. Harley is already an accomplished traveller with 3000 miles under his belt at 10 weeks old. He needs some more training though, like do not eat cigarette butts off the ground. Watch for Harley in 2024 at field trials!

I am just home from a three week "vacation" in Arkansas. Starting with the national specialty show where I was happy to witness Dual Ch./AKC National Gun Dog Ch. Kinwashkly King Louie win the Dual Champion sweepstakes under breeder/judge Terry Hilliard. 10 year old Louie was handled by Steph Meyers for owners Diane Vater and Chuck Cooper. I also got to watch my sister compete in specials with her "Diva", Ch. Kinwashkly H***y Tonk Woman as well as meet Cassie and Jeff Gugin and their agility star, "Mango". I have not seen Mango since she was 8 weeks old and left with Jeff for her new home. Mango is Kinwashkly Gugin's Super Fruit with so many agility titles behind her name, I cannot list them all.
The specialty show was a huge success, much respect for the organizers! Always a pleasure to see the best of the best competing. Onwards to the Booneville field trials and seeing old friends that I have missed so much the last 5 years. I was pleased to ride a few afternoons of the Amateur and the Open championship, as well as some viewing from the dog wagon. Everyone should make the Nationals at least once in their lifetime!

While we were away in Arkansas, two of our breeding completed titles back home. We would like to congratulate new GCh. Kinwashkly The Final F Word, FDJ, RN (owner handler Julie Ross), on another breed win and getting pulled in the Sporting group. "Fergus" now has one group placement and has made the final cut 4 times in the Sporting group. Our other new champion is Ch. Kinwashkly Roe,FDJ, owned and handled by Natalie Yarema. Roe is much more enthusiastic about his other career in field trials. Born just in time for the covid lockdowns that took away field trials for more than two years, Roe has had limited opportunities. He has made the most of them and has 8 points to his field championship, needing just 2 open points to finish. We are looking forward to announcing a new dual champion soon.
