3 Point AFC Win for Dawn & Hob w/ Joe Scouting!
"HOBEY" made Brittany history! He is the only Dual Champion to have won an all-breed Best in Show and the American Brittany Club National Specialty Show Best of Breed (from the Field Trial Dog class)!
Hobey has been a Top 10 Brittany and has won the ABCs Top 20 Invitational Competition. In 2018 Hobey was shown in Canada in one weekend he won three Sporting Group 1s, a Best in Show, and Best of Breed at the Brittany Spaniel Club of Canada.
We have the Burchetts to thank for Hobeys Field Trial Championship. Bob has done a fantastic job connecting with Hobey and honing him to the great field dog he is today. Hobey is just 2 points away from his Amateur Field Championship, hopefully one more feather in his cap.
We are thrilled with how Hobey consistently produces sound and talented puppies. He has produced multiple show champions, multiple hunt test titled dogs, agility titled dogs, and juvenile field trial winners.To view hiscurrent list of winners click here.Hobey is from the frozen semen breeding of Ch Alar's the Rocketeer CD SH "Chase" and DC Sovereign Copley Kiss My Chips "Zelda". Hobey is fourth generation Dual Champion, and tenth generation Field Trial Champion. Hobey is a blessing to us in many ways - fun to show, a pleasure to hunt behind, but mostly a joy to have as a companion in our family. I just wish he wouldn't take up so many covers on the bed!

WARNONNET'S ONE TOUGH COOKIE "Sassy"
4/12/20 | Pedigree
We were excited that Todd Breidenfeldt bred to Hobey in the spring of 2020, and even more excited to see he was breeding his Hobey granddaughter to the lovely and talented GFC/DC Almaden's Under Lock and Key "Oudi". Instead of taking a "Hobey" puppy for a stud fee, we took an "Oudi" puppy. Our thanks to Todd for using "Hobey" and our thanks for letting us add "Sassy" to our Sovereign Team.
We went through a list of names trying to find one to fit her. This little spitfire is full of personality and is super outgoing. At one point, I called her little Miss Sassy Pants, and she took to the name "Sassy" immediately. Her registered name was easy, as she is definitely One Tough Cookie. Even as a baby she thinks nothing of taking down the boys three times her size!
We are looking forward to having fun with this "Sassy" girl
