NUBBIN'

 

 

Nubbin',  aka Chief's Nubbin' Ridge Runner

(Click pic to enlarge)

 

Nubbin' produces great companion Brittanys and incredible field dogs with tons of natural ability.  He is in standard at 20 1/4", 40 pounds.

American Brittany "Chief's Nubbin' Ridge Runner", aka "Nubbin' " DNA#V271152, AVID Microchipped, Health Tests done Annually, X-rays on file reviewed by 3 Veterinarians - good hips - no evidence of dysplasia, his mother and father OFA Good.  Serious inquiries are welcome.  Feel free to review his health check-ups and x-rays at the Coleman Vet Clinic, Coleman, Texas.

Natural pointer/backer/retriever to hand since age 5 months.

We have never had a puppy come back to us from Nubbin'.  He produces solid bird dogs that are biddable and natural pointers, honor, and retrieve.  Nubbin' produces beautiful bird dogs that are like a lamb in the house and awesome in the field.  Nubbin' is now in his prime (Age 8 as of 2008).  Nubbin' is extremely athletic in build and produces big running pups that also hunt close in tight cover.  Because he does not trial himself, he is an unknown in the trial community except that those folks are beginning to see his progeny in all-age field trials everywhere!

Nubbin' has proven to be a solid stud dog with no known genetic defects up front or in the last 3 generations of his ancestry.  He has studded multiple litters and is proving to be VERY prepotent.  Nubbin' is most definitely an extraordinary expresser of the Brittany breed.  Multiple progeny have done well in various field trial venues.  In 2007 one of his progeny, Anna, became an AKC show champion and is field pointed.  In 2008, he has a daughter that is one point shy of her FC and 3 from her AFC.  She is a bigger running dog than gun dogs.  Nubbin's son 'Gunner' is age 3 and has a 2nd in a 34 starter OAA stake plus 3 other all-age placements in just 4 trials.  He is starting to mature as an open all age dog.

Nubbin' is the sire of the 2003 Indian Nations Juvenile Dog of the Year, 'Champ', horseback handled AKC stakes, Owner Jason Francis.  'Champ' has a big all-age run.

We hunt with Nubbin' afoot and from our Polaris Ranger Utility ATV/ truck.  He will hunt close or open up big (1/2 mile plus), just let him hunt to cover and gun independently and he will put you in birds, that's for sure.

Nubbin' is taken to Montana every year.  Nubbin runs hard and ranges big in wide open prairie country.

Several field trialers' of other pointing breeds, including owners of pointers, are incredulous that we won't campaign him in field trials...it's not for us, we're having too much fun hunting over him.  Besides, there is NO way Dave would let Nubbin' go to anyone else's care!  Dave is currently field trialing some of his progeny part time.

Nubbin's Father: 32x NSTRA CH, 3x Nat'l Grand CH, 6x American Field Champion, Q.U. 2003 National Champ, 2003 Nestle Purina Dog of the Year, 2003 Trial of Champions CHAMPION, Inducted to Purina's Walk of Fame, Nolan's Last Bullet, aka 'Buddy'.  Buddy is line bred on HOF 2x NFC DC Ban-Dee, HOF NFC DC Perry's Rustic Prince, and HOF FC Scipio Spinks in his blood line.  His top side of the pedigree is from bloodlines from Rick Smith / Delmar Smith that go back to Ban-Dee & Perry's Rustic Prince.

Nubbin's Mom: Strongly line bred on probably the greatest and best producing Brittany of all time, 2x NFC DC AFC HOF Ban-Dee.  She also has a line breeding on NFC Beans Blazes parents via  DC AFC Brewster D'Rooster Booster (full brother to HOF NFC Beans Blaze) & HOF NFC Beans Blaze himself.  There are other notable dogs as NAFC Ban-Dee Britt's Red Jinx, , and HOF FC Scipio Spinks.

Pedigree upon request.

Champs Dad:  Chief's Nubbin' Ridge Runner.  See Nubbin above.

Champs Mom: Chief's Spring Mesa Molly, aka Peanut.  Peanut's father is strongly line bred on 2xNFC DC AFC HOF Ban-Dee.  Also, she is the granddaughter of NAFC DC/AFC Renegade Kansas Kid.

Here's a pic of Champ's Mom, Peanut.  This photo was taken at the annual Texas State Wildlife Expo pointing dog demonstration.  She was demonstrating to a large crowd how a Brittany performs afield.  Click to enlarge:

Here's a pic of Champ's mom (Peanut) and dad (Nubbin) on a wild quail covey in Texas.  Peanut is backing Nubbin' on a large wild covey of bobwhites.  Click to enlarge:

Pedigree upon request.

Champ field trialed with Professional handler, Jim John.  Competing ONLY in the latter half of his juvenile field trial season, Champ won multiple field trials in several states and accumulated enough points to be named the 2003 Juvenile Dog of the Year by the Indian Nations Brittany Club.  Champ acquired a phenomenal eight juvenile points beating a total of 93 other dogs in just a few months of juvenile stakes.  Champ is owned by Jason Francis. 

Champ finished his Phase II training with Chief's Brittanys summer/fall 2004/2005.  Champ was polished on Sharptails, Huns, Pheasant, and Bobwhites.  His owner has killed wild birds over him in Montana, North/South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.

Champ is classified, in field trial terms, as an 'all-age' dog.  He is independent and classy on point.  Champ is snappy and has 'pop' when he hunts afield.  His awesome hunting style begs to be noticed by those who know class and style when they see it. 

Champ is well proportioned and meets American Brittany Club physical standards.  He is a medium sized white and orange American Brittany.  Champ has preliminary x-rays and his hips are good.  Champ is a sound stud dog.  While he is still young, he has proven that he is in the top percentile of quality field competition Brittanys.

Champ studded his first litter in October 2004.  The dam is Chief's Que Sera D'Bullet, aka 'Sarah'.  Sarah is an American Brittany line bred from 2x NFC DC/AFC Ban-Dee and has 3x NSTRA Grand National Champion, 32 x NSTRA FC, DOY, HOF Nolan's Last Bullet as a Grandfather (See Nubbin's father for more info on Nolan's Last Bullet).  This litter is a line breeding on Nolan's Last Bullet as well as several other Hall of Famers.  We can't wait to see how this litter turns out....we expect long leggy big running Brittanys that will handle closely if needed but won't be timid to open up and hunt big in open country.  (Update, a litter of 10 pups was whelped 12/26/2004).

Champ is a natural just like his mom and dad.  Even though Champ had no formal training in his juvenile years, Champ found and pointed hundreds of wild birds - Thanks to Jason for hunting Champ every opportunity he has!

Champ is now steady to wing and shot as he nears 3 years of age.  He's a lot of fun to hunt with and he will surely show you a good time.  Champ has since been through Dave's trained retrieve program and retrieves to hand perfectly every time.  It is a joy to watch Champ as a covey is flushed and a bird shot.  He stands absolutely steady to w/s and whines for you to touch him on the head thus releasing him to make the retrieve.  Champ sits upon return with the bird and presents the bird head up at 45 degrees.

Here's a note from Jason on one of Champs hunts early 2006:

"Had a pretty good hunt Saturday at Kiowa, KS.  Champ did AWESOME.  We had some frost on the ground early, with great scenting conditions.  Champ went on point, but the birds starting moving on him, RIGHT towards him, by the time the birds flushed they were practically running between his legs and he just stood there. Did I mention he was on the other side of a fence from the rest of us?  My Dad crossed the barbed wire to flush the birds and it looked like Champ was in the middle of a quail tornado, he never moved a muscle.  Two birds fell and he marked them, still standing stock still, I climbed the fence walked up to him and released him to retrieve.  He handled the first bird perfectly, then I turned him and released him on the second dead bird, again perfect.  I had my surgeon buddy and a client with us, and they were both in amazement.  Thanks for all your hard work.  I am enclosing a pic we snapped at lunch time."

Jason says that Champ is 'great' around the home and is a wonderful companion.  He is not hyper and is a potty trained house dog.  His field personality becomes apparent when released to hunt - hang on!
