Our Dual Dogs - Sovereign Brittany

DC Sovereign's Hanky Panky "Ollie"

DOB 1/21/21 | Pedigree In record time, "Ollie" became Sovereign Brittanys 7th home bred Dual Champion, at just 20 months of age.

We sold "Ollie" to Janet Lioy at 8 weeks of age. Janet was full of reservations, but we assured her "Ollie" was a great prospect. Thanks to Janet's nurturing and the field training and handling of Bob Burchett,

"Ollie" was a barn burner early on. At the Iowa Brittany Club trial in the Spring of 2022, at under 15 months of age, "Ollie" won the Puppy Stake and the Derby Stake for his 4 juvenile points, and the same weekend earned Winners Dog at the Iowa Brittany Club Specialty Show for a major towards his show championship. The summer of 2022 Janet made sure "Ollie" finished his Show Championship easily, and then headed back to Burchett Bird Dogs to be broke. To our delight, "Ollie" WON his first three Open Gun Dog stakes with over 25 dogs entered every stake. He also placed 4th place in the Iowa Grand Open Limited Hour Gun Dog Stake and 3rd in the Jim Hoyer Memorial American Brittany Club Hour Classic.

Thank you Janet for giving "Ollie" the chance to be an amazing Dual Dog! Thank you Janet for allowing us to stay on "Ollie" to enjoy this incredible journey. This young dog is just getting started, he will be a fun one to watch. "Ollie" will continue in the field with Bob Burchett, and will continue with his Dual ways.

A heartfelt Thank You to Janet Lioy for allowing this boy to do what he was born to do!

DC GCH Sovereign’s Judge N Jury "JJ"

10/1/2018 | OFA# OFA - hips BS-19059E25M   | OFA elbows BS-EL2086M25| Pedigree "JJ" wasted no time in becoming Sovereign Brittanys 6th home bred Dual Champion. When we sold JJ to Marcia and Chuck Lawrence as a puppy, we had no idea what a fun journey we were going to have with JJ and the Lawrence's. The Lawrences invited me down to Florida in January 2020 to run/show JJ in the Eastern Futurity. What a thrill it was for us to have JJ awarded Best Dual Dog at the American Brittany Club Eastern Futurity!

JJ is expertly trained and handled by Bob Burchett in the field. JJ earned his derby points in the fall of 2020.

The next spring, JJ earned 2nd in a 31 dog stake in IL for his first adult points. He went on to earn more placements in 2021, including a piece of a nice hour stake. In Spring 2022 JJ was awarded several wins, including a 3rd place in the competitive ABC Ed Powell Classic, a 1st place in a 23 dog stake in IL, and a 2nd place in a 33 dog stake in Iowa to earn his DUAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

"JJ" handily finished his show championship, by winning Best of Breed over top specials. JJ is a joy to show and is exciting to watch in the field. As we keep telling Chuck and Marcia, he's the real deal! Thank you Lawrences for believing in him and allowing him to do what he loves!

We look forward to MANY more adventures with this handsome and talented dog!

DC Sovereign’s Ledgendary Cowboy "Duke"

10/18/2017 | BS-18734E26M | Pedigree "Duke" is the 5th Dual Champion bred by Sovereign Brittanys.

"Duke" was sold to Matt Weldele as a hunting dog and after running him in some hunt tests and walking field trials for fun, Matt soon discovered he was meant to be a horseback field trial dog and finished his Field Championship easily shortly after his 2 year birthday.

Duke finished with two 5 point majors at the LaSalle Brittany Club and Midwest Brittany Club Field Trials. Thanks to Burchett Bird Dogs for their expert handling and training of Duke.

"Duke" also made short work of his Show Championship finishing with a 3, 4, and 5 point major!

Thank you Matt, for allowing us to co-own Duke and take this amazing journey with you! Keep an eye out for Duke, as he is just getting started! Duke is being campaigned by Burchett Bird Dogs and Duke and Matt are working on Duke's AFC.

DC CrossCreek Sovereign's Pop-A-Top "Jackson"

DOB: 04/24/17 | BS-18808G34M | Pedigree
"Jackson" is the 4th Dual Champion bred by Sovereign Brittanys.

"Jackson" finished his Field Championship in style in the Fall of 2020 with a 5 point major win at the Nebraska Brittany Club Trial. En route to his FC, he earned 2 points for winning 2nd in a 40 dog stake in the Spring of 2020 at the Southern Kansas Brittany Club Trial, earned a 3 pt major by winning 1st at the Greater St Louis Brittany Club Trial in January of 2020, and won two good sized derby stakes in 2019 to be awarded his 2 derby points.

"Jackson" finished his Show Championship in style as well, with 4 majors including a 5 point specialty major at the Minnesota Brittany Club Specialty Show and a Best of Breed from the classes.

We would like to thank Judy Tighe (Hope Brittanys) for allowing us to use frozen semen from DC Hope's Tap-A-Keg to make this breeding to our "Godiva" possible! Thank you owners Barbara and Wayne Pepin for allowing "Jackson" to shine with Burchett Bird Dogs!

Sovereign's Chasing Legends (#678 ABC Dual Champion)

DOB: 7/29/2010 | OFA BS-15897G24M-VPI | Eyes & Thyroid Normal | CHIC #105830 | Pedigree
"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 26 field wins in adult stakes throughout the highly competitive Midwest circuit. He is 4th generation Dual Champion, 10th generation Field Champion.

"Hobey" handily finished his Show Championship at a young age with all brittany club specialty majors. Besides his all breed Best in Show in 2013 and his National Best of Breed in 2015, he won the Top 20 American Brittany Club Top 20 Invitational competition in 2016.

Despite his limited show campaigning (due to his field trial schedule), he was in the Top 10 (and Top 20) Show Brittanys for many years. We took him to Canada for one weekend in 2019, where he won three Sporting Group 1s, a Best in Show, and National Best of Breed at the Brittany Spaniel Club of Canada.

We are having fun running "Hobey" in the Amatuer Gun Dog Stakes, he's just 2 points away from his AFC.

"HOBEY'S Get"

DC Sovereign Copley Kiss My Chips
(# 515 ABC Dual Champion)

We are the breeders of "Zelda", she's also out of our lovely girl "Classy" (same dam as DC "JR") and the talented and handsome "Vegas" - Dual Champion AFC Roja's Gambling Chips.

We sold "Zelda" to Robin Tomasi of Copley Brittanys as an 8 week old puppy. We are grateful to Robin for all the opportunities she gave "Zelda" - she became a Dual Champion by 2 1/2 years of age, in the Top 10 Show Brittanys and Top 10 Gun Dogs in the same year, and was a multiple Best in Specialty Show winner.

Robin generously leased "Zelda" back to us so we could breed her to BISS CH Alar's the Rocketeer CD SH, which produced our third Dual Champion "Hobey".

First Sovereign Dual Champion DC/AFC Sovereign's Who's Ya Daddy JH
(# 506 ABC Dual Champion)

"JR" was our first breeder/owner DUAL CHAMPION. We bred our lovely "Classy" CH Sovereign's Classical Code JH (Winners bitch at both the National Specialty Show and the ABC Summer Specialty) to the talented and handsome "TJ" - Dual Champion, National Champion, AFC Tequila's Joker (who has since been inducted into the ABC Hall of Fame).

"JR" finished his Show Championship quickly, and was sent to Jim John to start his field career. Ed Tillson (of Tequila Kennels, owner of "JR's" sire "TJ") took over the training and handling of "JR" and finished his DC in 2006. Steve Ralph ran "JR" in Amatuer, and finished his Amateur Field Championship.
