K Nine Birddog Brittany's - Arizona Brittany Spaniel Breeders

Solid bred Brittany's for hunting trialing and even some show. All my breeding stock is OFA'd and come from proven backgrounds. My lines consist of Nolans Last Bullet, Scipio Spinxs, Scipios Little Chick, Beans Blaze and Lobo lines which are strong in my breeding program I also have Renegade Kansas Kid, and Bullet Proof II , Hi Proof Rum Runner Buddys Trucker Express, Franklin County Bandit, Rimarda's Trademark, Markar's Jac's a Dan D to name a few in my lines.

I also have contacts with other breeders who also believe that trying also to put together litters from Dams and Sires who show desired traits to produce pups that also will go on to trial or make great companion hunters. I will only reccomend to those that I would consider to purchase from myself.

Breeding should be about quality, not quantity.

i won a morning session that Arlete had donated for our local antelope banquet. we have a lab who though we don't hunt was getting unruely. After the morning with her, she helped us see where we needed to be the leader with our dog and since then with a few ups and downs jade is turning into great companion dog.

---

Cash has turned into a great dog and a companion. thank you.

---

I've spend a fair amount of time with Arlette and have had the pleasure of hunting behind at least one of her dogs. One of these days I hope to have my dog working as well as her's do.
She definitely breeds quality dogs that anyone would be proud to own, and takes the time to match the owner to the right pup/dog. She's always straight forward and her word is her bond.

She's helped me, as a new GSP owner (don't hold that against her please :>) ) train the dog, and more importantly, the owner. I didn't know her prior to picking my pup. If I had, we'd have bought a pup from her.

Good people!

---

We are not breeders per say but we wanted to have one litter with our gigi. We were lucky when we called Arlette and she took the time with us on how to do the best we could for the litter we wanted. She got us hooked up with a very nice stud dog who was closer to us and a better match up on the pedigrees and also sent a couple referrals for our pups. Thank you for caring for a great breed.

---

The time Arlette spent with us helped turned our drahtX in to a great hunting dog and more important a better companion with manners. I also got to watch her with her pups. Makes me want to get a pup from her also. Wish we had the room.
Thanks.

---

Just wanted to thank you Arlette for leading us to the seminars you host with Rick Smith. Between the foundation and getting to work with you and seeing your dogs i really feel like I got a super start for the future. looking forward to working with you over the summer.

---

Arlette has been a great help. I am not much for words but just a couple of sessions with her made a hugh difference in how my reesie and I are getting along. Looking forward to getting a new pup from Arlette also in 09. Thank you

---

Thank you for your help with Sasha. She is turning into the hunting dog I wanted and my wife is learning how to use the command lead now and is able to take her for walks.
See you at the preserve :-)

Ki Ki. What a great dog! My friends call her "pocket rocket". We hunt hard at least twice a week with short afternoon outings as time allows. Her first quail hunt with me took place over thanksgiving weekend on San Carlos. Our first day out she pointed several coveys and numerous post covey flush singles. Although we didn't limit out, we bagged Gambels, Mearns, AND scalies along the same canyon. An Arizona hat-trick on her first trip! She's a joy to hunt over. She burns up a field, adjusting her range to suit the cover, naturally close in the trees and brush and farther out in the open. She is obedient and I don't even bother with the e-collar anymore. She has proven to be particularly proficient at locating singles after the initial flush. As you know, this can be challenging for a dog as the birds scent is ?air-washed? and faint. She recently dazzled a hunting partner by methodically trailing and locating a recently flushed Mearn's in thick cover. You could tell that the bird was moving. Ki Ki was working the scent as intently as I?ve ever seen. At one point my hunting partner said "what's that sound"? It was Ki Ki snuffling! After a good ten minutes of false/re-adjusting points she locked up. The bird was flushed and?. WE BOTH MISSED. Oops!

My son and I went to K Nine to look over a Brittany named Cruiser. Turns out Cruiser was just the dog for us and we took her home the same day. Cruiser is a wonderful dog that certainly lives up to her name in the field. She races across the grass lands south of Tucson like a ballerina dances across the stage. Her hunting instincts and love for the game is incredible. She has obviously had good training and it was really my effort to figure out how to work with her. She's a beautiful dog for sure and a wonderful companion. She sleeps all night in my son's bedroom and wakes with a happy disposition for life. She is definitely a sweet heart. K-Nine provided me and my family with a great dog and I wouldn't hesitate to be a return customer. I would definitely recommend the kennel to others as they take their commitment to excellence very seriously.

---

This is a an ethical breeder that will help you for the life of your dog. Knine is there for the brittany breed and is a person who is actively trying to educate others about the breed. I highly recommend them.

---

K-9 had helped me greatly with my bird dog when he was a puppy. Actually, K-9 trained me to be a better dog handler. I think the approach that K-9 uses is very user friendly and great for the dog. I would highly recommend a puppy out of K-9?s champion blood line. At a minimum, every bird dog owner should follow the training methodology K-9 employs.

Regards
Tom Paz

---

Arlette Thank you for directing us to NBRAN brittany rescue. As we were loking for a pet we found a great companion through them. I really appreciate the time you took with me.

---

I bought a hunter from Knines about 7 years ago and couldn't be happier. Hunter was easy to train and has been a super companion. Arlette helped me alot at the beginning which aided us i to being a great hunting team..If you need help or are looking for a pup ..Don't hesitate to contact her.

---

I have had the pleasure of watching Arlette with her dogs. Though I am not in to birddogs myself she does have a good way with working with dogs and even helped me with a few obedience thinsg with my regular house dogs.
I have also watched her with her pups it is fun to watch how she makes a training session fun for them.

---

I am a client out where Arlette guides and have also had the pleasure of hunting over her dogs. Arlette has always been a pleasure to be around and she is even good at deer hunts not sure if that means anything for this site but my point is she devoted her attention to what she is doing and her dogs are a prime example of that.

I have been blown away by the dedication and compassion Arleete has shown to the world of Brittany's and dun dogs in general.

Anyone purchasing a pup from this breeder will not only be highly satified with the quality of the pup, but they will also be very happy with the lifetime support they receive after the purchase.

---

Arlette is a great breeder and trainer. She breeds with the pupose of bettering the breed and trains great handling bird dogs. I would not hesitate to send my friends and family to her for a pup or for professional training.

---

I have known Arlette for several years and purchased 2 pups from her. She is very knowledgable about Brittanys and running bird dogs. She is dedicated to breeding the best and giving her pups the best start possible.

---

My quest to find a really good bird dog began almost two months ago. It was more than just a "dog" to us though. We are liflong dog owners and it needed to be a part of our family, not just a field dog. We found a few dogs but not The Dog, until Arlette at K Nine referred me to a wonderful couple that breeds Brittanys in California. Although she didn't have any puppies at the time she still helped us realize our goal of finding an awesome addition to our family. Thanks Arlette!

I am thrilled with Arlette Henessey! When I initially contacted her she didn't have any pups available. She referred me to a friend who had two pups. We didn't know it at the time but Arlette had been instrumental in selecting the sire. I bought one and another hard hunting friend bought the other. The pups are about 14 months old now and so birdy they shake like leaves when they smell quail. Incredible noses, great naural retrieve and eager to please. We love our little brit. Arlette is a great trainer and always available through her forum and chat. It seems like I ask her advice on a daily basis. My wife and I feel like we have been adopted into a family of Brittany owners. It's strange that we have never met in person yet. We are looking forward to meeting her at the Rick Smith seminar she is hosting in Jan.

---

I haven't been able to have dogs for quite some years but through Arlette and the preserve she works on I have been able to hunt over quite a few of her dogs.
My Favorite her old Mike dog is quite the trooper but then her Bullet dog I have had the pleasure of watching this dog start out as a pup and turn into one of her best pheasant dogs.
Her Peekaboo (sp?) is also an pleasure to hunt behind.
I would reccomend Arlette highly she cares a lot about her dogs and if I were to ever be in a position to get a pup I wouldn't look any further then her and her dogs.

Legitimate gun dog breeders are a relatively small community, where word of mouth gets around pretty fast and Arlette?s reputation for honesty and integrity is deservedly a solid one.
I am an avid NSTRA field trial participant and upland hunter. I have a six year old male Brittany, and a new pup out of a Kninebirdog breeding. This pup came to our home healthy and well adjusted. He is bold and confident in the field and birdy as hell. We couldn?t be more satisfied.

Just wanted to say Thank you Arlette for helping us getting off to a great start with our brittany. Wish Desi would have come from your kennels but with your help she sure has made me a happy hunter.
I Reccomend Arlette Highly ..She is more about helping you be the best you can be with your dog.

---

Amy is a terrific Brittany and has integrated well with our family. She is also proving to have excellent bird dog instincts. When and if we decide to get another dog - we will go to Arlette and K Nine first.

---

When I purchased my first britt 8 years ago from another breeder I ran in to some problems in training our Haddie to be a hunting dog. Through a website it led me to Arlette . Arlette helped me and my family with many things with our Haddie. Haddie was a bit weak on the prey drive but through much help and patience she now makes a good hunting dog. We recently contacted Arlette as we are ready to get another britt to join our family and after Arlette's help and watching her dogs we knew exactly who we would go to for our new addition to the family. thank you Arlette and are very much looking forward our new baby.

---

Over the last 6 years we ahve been taking our dogs to Arlette and Bob.. We had bought a little Britt from a breeder back east we wanted to trial, Since I am no longer able to handle my dos due to my age and health I have been able to live my dream through them. My little Mollie dog I was able to enjoy a litter of pups from through Arlettes help , she does a fanstastic job not only with the dogs but how she handles the pups is a joy to watch. I kept a pup from Mollie and Bullets litter Who this is my second pup via Arlette as I also got one from her Picabo a couple years ago. I can't say enough about Arlete and Bob they have let me enjoy a breed which I so dearly love as ith out them it would only be a dream.

---

Just wanted to Thank you for getting me set up with my new pup...The Breeder you hooked me up with was everything you said she would be.
Plans are in a couple years to get another and hope you remember to have me on your list...and also looking forward to training with you this summer.

---

My husband and I have been Brittany lovers and owners for over 20 years. We currently own, hunt and compete in NSTRA with two Brits. We have a six year old and a two year old, with our two-year being a puppy from Arlette.

Arlette is a responsible and incredibly knowledgeable breeder. She truly does ?Breed for the Best?. Arlette also maintains an interest in her pups long after they have gone to their owners. She has always been interested in the dog?s progress and willing to help us with training questions.

We highly recommend her and her dogs. Debra & Tom Clare

I have been training my pups with Arlette for about 4 months here in AZ. During this time I have been able to watch her raise (socialize and train)her last litter of Brittany puppies. They are all sold but I wanted to take this opportunity to post a testimonial here to all looking for some fantastic dogs with a great start in life from her for you!!

Once you have decided upon a Brittany as a breed, think about the importance of matching up the right pup to you (and possibly your family) from the litter and how you have to trust a breeder. Think about the importance of having a resource to help you ensure your success in raising your new pup into the gundog you want. Think about the right exposure to everything from benchwork to birds.

Then call Arlette...

---

Although I have never purchased a Brittany from Arlette, she is very committed to the breed and strives to produce good quality pups. We have had the pleasure of training a pup bred by Arlette these past few months and are very pleased with the progress the dog has made thus far. "Maverick" is destined for a solid career not only as a beloved companion and hunting partner but as a competition gun dog as well.

---

I met Arlette on the internet thru American Brittany Rescue because she helped us with some health problems we were having with a foster.

We then found out she had the father to our Brit and about her training and breeding programs. We took our Brit down to stay at the Pheasant Ranch for training. We were very impressed with her loving, patient manner.

After talking with her in person and on the net and seeing how she socializes and trains her puppies my husband decided he would never get a Brit from any breeder other than Arlette. The differences in our previous pup from a different breeder and Arlette are like night and day. Our pups are from the same father so it has to be the socialization that has made the difference. She wants her puppies and their families to be happy and she takes the time to see that happen. She orients you to your new pup and what to expect, encourages you to call with questions, and wants to hear about their progress. She gives love and takes pride in every single one of her "furbabies".

---

Arlette at Knine is one of the most knowledgeable and caring breeders I have ever met.She takes care to properly socialize each and every pup she has.She takes care to responsibly breed,trying her best to hedge all bets as far as hereditary/degenerative problems in bloodlines.When my wife and I picked up our newest Brittany I fully expected to show up pay sign some paperwork and be sent on our way.Instead we were greeted,socialized and educated by arlette.The time she spent with us,the questions she answered,the food,toys and blankets(to ease the transition on the new pup)she sent with us were all a welcome surprise.She truly is a caring breeder.With the bloodlines she has and her commitment to each and every dog she produces as well as the sport she truly has a world class operation.

---

We are very happy and pleased with our Brittany pup from Arlette. Arlette is very knowledgable and caring. Our puppy, Benelli, is just wonderful...we really couldn't ask for a better puppy. We will call Arlette when it comes time for another Britanny.

---

I wanted to take an opportunity to say a few words about Arlette Hennessey aka Kninebirddog. Anyone who spends time on any gundog bulletin boards probably knows Arlette. Always helpful and never without an opinion. Arlette and I met years ago when I had several of my dogs down to see her significant other, Bob Henson at his hunting preserve, Desert Pheasant Recreation. Bob and Arlette have conducted snake breaking clinics for many years and some friends recommended them. During that visit I learned that Arlette and I shared the common love of Brittany?s. Several years ago after attending a Rick Smith Seminar I called Rick to see if he would be interested in doing a seminar in Arizona and he said yes he would be glad to. Of course I had not figured out where it could be held but thanks to Arlette and Bob they offered their property to hold the event. She is a student of the breed and I have watched her knowledge and passion grow over the years. Arlette is one of the few breeders of our Britts that try?s to do it right. She OFA?s, Microchips, DNA?s and spends countless hours researching bloodlines before she ever plans a breeding. I would never hesitate recommending a Kninebirddog pup to have all of the qualities we look for in a fine American Brittany.

I've been training with Arlette for about a year now with a dog I bought from another breeder. She's been very knowledgable and has helped train me to train my dog. She even let's me work with her dogs so I know what I'm trying to acheive.

Watching her dogs perform is phenominal - they are top notch. I'm picking up my second dog from her tonight.

---

Service and training were excellent. Breeding is also excellent and foremost in this program.
The instinct and bidability of knine's dogs is the best I have seen. K Nine Birddog's program is top notch.

---

Scooter and I have been training with Arlette since Mid-January of this year. Scooter was 18 months old and when I received her she had little or no training. The transformation from a Pup to a dog that is steady to point and retrieves to hand has been a process that not only trained the dog, but also, more importantly trained the owner. This has made all the difference in Scooter and my bonding. Arlette?s expertise and patience in the use of the Rick Smith method of training brought about a very enjoyable Hunter / Gun dog relationship.
A very sincere thanks to Arlette,

Gene Hudspeth

We Chose Arlette's stud, K-9 Bullet to breed our bitch for a good hunting litter of pups. We found Artlette to be very knowledgeable on hunting dogs and dedicated to improvment of the Brittany breed. I have had dogs and hunted all my life and still learned a few things from Arlette. I highly recommend her and her dogs. Art Queenan

---

I was very impressed with Arlette's knowledge on hunting bird dogs, Brittany's in particular. I purchased what she called a started nine month old pup which, with my over 40 years experience in training and hunting pointing dogs, I would call "almost broke". All he needed was a little help retrieving. Everything else I needed in a real hunting dog was there. He has only improved with age. I highly recommend Arlette's operation whenever you need a good dog or good training. Jim W. Garner

---

Helpful in every aspect of sire/dam choice, hunting/trial dog preferences, care and training, and every other question I have ever had...Knine had the answers for me and my pup!

---

You can expect guidance and support from this breeder for the entire lifespan of your puppy or dog. No matter what questions you have, they will find the answers!

---

K Nine`s Brittanys are some of the best breeding out there. She takes a lot of time and investagition into her breedings,only to improve the breed which I think she has. She believes in OFA and as far as I know all of her dogs are min OFA good. She is a very honest person and her word is good as it should be with every one. She is a good trainer and I would trust her to tell the truth about any dog she is training. I would not hesitate to purchase a dog from Arlette at any time and would trust her to tell me the good and bad about the dogs.

---

I have personaly known this breeder for several years now. She is one of the most responsable breeders that I have ever seen.She stands behind her warrenties on health ,hips,and genetics.I have seen her dogs run in NSTRA competition with great success and I know of several of her dogs pups doing very well in other venues of the field trial world.She breeds the best to the best to get the best quality pups for field trial or hunting companion use.

---

We have the great pleasure of owning 2 of K Nines breedings. Couldn't be happier not only with our brits but the help with turning our 2 into the best hunting companions one could have. Thanks Arlete...Maybe I can talk my wife into another one soon hint hint

---

When I got my first britt I found Arlette and through the program they offer in AZ, I was able to become a better owner. When I was ready for a second addition to the family I got one from Arlette...Wow what a little pistol my new pup was. Can't believe that was 4 years ago already. Thanks Arlette for all you have helped me with.

---

When my husband and I were on the look out for a new pup we started our search...WOW There are many people breeding brittanies. Thankfully we had spoken to Arlette and she was very helpful in explaining what her program has to offer and also helped us with what questions to ask in our quest for our new addition. Though we didn't get a pup directly from Arlette we did get a pup from a person she reccomended.
Thank you Arlette for your help and guidance and also helping us with getting our Copper started on the right foot with your little puppy games those have been great to start a well mannered little bird dog.

---

when i was looking for my first brittany i happen to come across arlete. She was very helpful in explaining about what the brittany breed was like and answered alot of my questions. I couldn't be any more happier with rosie and arlete has been a great help with our questions as rosie grew up. thank you gerry

---

I got a britt pup from Arlette.she was easy to deal with and penny is great little britt . Arlette also helped us getting her on the right foot...Thank you

---

I have 3 dogs all form K Nine. All three are awesome hunters. I do not participate in trials or show dogs but am an avid hunter. These dogs sure make it easier.
Thanks Arlette

---

When our old girl passed away Arlette was very helpful in matching us with our new boy Hunter. He has been a great companion and awesome little hunting partner.

---

I obtained my newest brittany from Knine Brittanys. I could not be happier with him. He has awesome drive and an even better personality.
The owners have been very helpfull with any questions I have had and have been very supportive in all my endeavers so far with Maverick. To date Maverick has 2 CKC show points, CKC Field Dog Junior and Field Dog titles.
We are not training for the upcoming ABC Futurity both show and trial event this coming spring of 07.
Awesome brittany Arlette!!
Thanks,
