Northern Star Brittanys - North Dakota American Brittany Breeders

Northern Star Brittanys is located in central North Dakota, an area that boasts some of the finest pheasant hunting in the country. Our breeding program is built around the bloodlines that have produced some of the best Brittany hunting and trial dogs in the breed including 32X NSTRA CH/HOF Nolan's Last Bullet, NAFC/DC/AFC/HOF Renegade's Kansas Kid, and NFC/FC/AFC/HOF Shambo's Last Shadow.

Our foundation female, Bullet's Northern Star, is a direct daughter of Nolan's Last Bullet, out of an own daughter of Renegade's Kansas Kid. Star is a finished gun dog and has competed in a handful of NSTRA events when maternal duties allow; she is an intense competitor and is our personal hunting dog and can be counted on to find the birds. Star has produced outstanding pups including a dog named Powder River's In the Line of Fire, JH (sired by 6X NSTRA CH Montana's Rusty Little Pants) who earned the title 2012 UFTA Reserve Champion Amatuer Pointing dog from a field of 180 dogs. Her 2012 litter was sired by GCH/DC Masked Jack of Diamonds who won the 2011 Magnum's Masked Man award and was the #1 AKC Gun Dog All Pointing Breeds in 2011 and 2012. Pups from this cross show great potential for the field and have tremendous personalitites and an abundance of Brittany type and style.

The new addition to the breeding program is a lovely female named Suggs Royal Princess MH; Princess came to live with us late in 2012. She is a direct daughter of Shambo's Dark Shadow, out of a Rick Smith bred female named Smoked and Peppered Kate. Princess' pedigree is filled with both dual and field champions and we expect her to be a tremendous producing female. In addition she is a finished gun dog who had several nice placements in the field including Runner-Up at the 2011 Prairie States Open Derby Championship. She completed her Master Hunter title with 6 out of 6 passes and earned a perfect score on her final two tests in 2012. Princess is the sweetest, most biddable girl you could ask for and is a tremendous wild bird/companion hunting dog as well.

The youngster in the kennel is Bullet's Sweet Jessie Gunn; Jessie is sired by 2X NGDC/NAGDC AFC Peter Gunn and out of a linebred Nolan's Last Bullet/Renegade's Kansas Kid female. Jessie spent time with Kevin Stonehouse of Kountry Boy Kennels in 2012; she won her Open Puppy class the second time out and will be working to earn her Derby points in 2013; she shows tremendous potential to be a competitive gun dog or NSTRA dog and will finish her training in 2013.

We typically raise one litter per year and strive to produce the best individuals we can. In 2013 we plan to have two top quality litters available in late spring. Tentative plans are to breed Star back to GCH/DC Masked Jack of Diamonds for what will be her final litter. Princess will be bred to 4X NSTRA CH Footluce Louie Little Pants, owned by Mark and Darlene Donovan of Bozeman, MT. Louie is a handsome dog with a kind and biddable nature; he is a tough competitor in the field trial venue and the dog you can count on to find your limit of birds out hunting. My females are either OFA or PennHip certified and only bred to dogs who have been as well. Pups come with health/hip guarantees and references are available upon request.

I found Lisa a pleasure to work with. She is very very knowledgable of the Brittany and I am glad to have her as a new friend and resource. Her Brittanys are World Class with none bred better. Her kennel is definately worth strong consideration for anyone looking to improve their kennel.
Lisa, thanks for everything.

"Duck" a three year old out of "Star" just won UFTA RU National Amateur Ch. in Feb.(180 dogs), he is also an UFTA Amateur ch. and UFTA Open Ch. His future is all ahead of him one of the top Brittanys in the country. Looking forward to another pup out of "Star", she is a great producer.

I own a male out of last years breeding whose call name is "Duck". He placed 4th three times last year in UFTA trials and didn't retrieve. Since then he has been force broke to retrieve and we are excited about this coming fall. He breezed through his Jr. Hunt Test with 6 fines in less than 10 minutes. Ran out of blanks and the judge asked me to pick him up.
