Amber and I both have a great love of dogs, even when they won't cooperate for pictures. Almost a decade ago we moved to Appalachian Kentucky to expand what we could do with our dogs and to enjoy the quiet country life. This turned out to be a major life changing experience for the better--for both us and our dogs!
For me, working with bird dogs combines two primary life pursuits: hunting and the study of behavior. I have hunted all my life and am happiest when in the woods or fields with a dog. There is no better way to spend a day. However, in terms of my work I decided on psychology. It has always been interesting to me how people and animals learn and why they behave as they do. This interest ultimately led to a career in academia (University of Kentucky--Go Cats!!) where I teach and do research related to behavioral science.
In recognizing the importance of genetics for both conformation and behavior, our Brittanys are from some of the most proven bloodlines of the breed. Our puppies represent what we ourselves want in a Brittany--highly intelligent, bird-driven gun dogs with outstanding stamina that are also lovable members of the family. We are dedicated to producing the best Brittanys we can to meet these expectations.
Quail Ridge Brittanys is ever expanding. Moving forward, we hope to offer increasingly more support to those working with bird dogs or starting out with one of our puppies. See the Training page for our training philosophy and programs.
