Sunshine Girl. Both parents are OFA
excellent. Breeder Leslie Andreas. She
is (as with all our dogs) a mixture of Dual Champion field
and show lines that HUNT! Meadow is a medium sized
female with medium bone. She is very birdy and
intense as a hunter and has long gun dog range. Med
fetches well in the field but, fetching toys in the house
is a bit "beneath her dignity". She is a mellow
couch potato in the house but a fire cracker in the
field. Meadow has a nice touch with huns and
sharptails as she often points from quite a
distance. She enjoys agility and Sari enjoys
handling her through her paces. Med has finished her
Junior Hunter title, has pup and derby field trial
placements, and is show pointed. She hunt, hunt,
hunts!!!

2009 ABC National Specialty Best of Breed
Winner
DC Country Road’s Rough
Rider
His birth name was ‘Lucky’
because he was born by c-section several hours after his
littermates on 9/27/2001. Actually, we were the
lucky ones, because he stayed with us at Country Road
Brittanys. As his happy, willing to please personality and
independence became apparent; he earned the name of Rough
Rider, or Cooper
for short.
Karen handled Cooper to his
conformation Championship, finishing just short of his
first birthday, on 9/6/2002. Cooper then moved to
Tennessee to live with our daughter, Julianne. She
began his training, and handled him to his juvenile
wins. We hoped Cooper might be a dog that would be
competitive in both the field and show ring. We made
the trip to the Central Futurity in March 2003.
Cooper won the All Age stake with Julianne handling. He
was named Best in Futurity Show and the Dual Dog with
Karen handling. This win gave our vision a running
start, and sharpened our focus on the objective of the
Dual Dog.
Cooper sired his
first litter in 2003. As his pups started competing in the
field and the show, we knew he would contribute to the
Brittany breed. His offspring are Dual Champions, Field
Champions, Show Champions, National Qualifiers, hunters,
and companions.
Julianne ran Cooper
the fall of 2004, but her work schedule limited their
participation in trials. In June of 2005 we took Cooper to
Bob Burchett, where he could run in more trials with a pro
handler. Cooper finished his Field Championship on
4/28/2006, and thus became the ABC’s 500th Dual Champion.
We were thrilled, but little did we know that Cooper had
bigger things in mind.
He was the ABC National
Open Gun Dog Championship RU 2007, ABC Prairie States
Shooting Dog Champion 2008, ABC Gun Dog
Classic/Championship RU 2008, ABC Pheasant
Classic/Championship RU 2009, and the ABC Gun Dog Classic
Champion 2009. Cooper won the ABC Tri-Tronics
Shooting Dog Award 2008, and was the ABC Masked Man Gun
Dog Award RU 2009. Karen continued to show Cooper when he
was home from the field in the off season. He earned
multiple Best of Breeds, Sporting Group placements, and
Specialty Best in Shows.
Cooper amazed and overwhelmed us,
as he put the exclamation mark on his career by winning
the 2009 ABC National Specialty Show. Thanks to Nancy
Morabito and Doug Tighe for your help. We are indebted to
everyone who supported, encouraged, and cheered for Cooper
during his field and show career.
Thank you, Cooper, for taking
us along for the ride of a lifetime!
Karen & Marvin Stout
