It is with great pleasure that I nominate 8X Am Fld CH/NAFC/FC/AFC Pride and Joy’s Bunch of Annie for the Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame. Annie was produced by a mating of 4X Am Fld CH/DC/AFC A Bunch of Butch and Top Gun Annie, a full sister to NFC/FC/AFC Aux-Arc’s Mark. From her beginnings in Kansas at the kennel of Bill Burton, her early training with owner Frank Pride, and trials throughout the Midwest and her final days in Maine, Annie was a consistent winner. Her record speaks for itself. Of special note are her consistent first and second place wins from 1998 to 2004 in championship stakes in Kansas, Texas, Illinois, Arkansas, and New England. Notably, she placed 2nd in the Dub Emde Championship (2004), 1st in the Region 6 Amateur All Age (2004), 2nd in the Texas All Age Championship (2002) and the Texas Amateur Championship (2001). She won the Region 6 Amateur Championship (2001) and the Mid South Open Championship (2000) to name just a few. She placed 4th in the ABC National Amateur Championship in 2001, moved to 3rd place in 2002, and won the ABC National Amateur Championship in 2003 in a field of 57 dogs. One of her most memorable placements was her second place in the 2000 ABC National Open Championship against 92 other dogs. All told, she had 18 first or second placements in championships. Known as a dog who was quick off the breakaway and one who had tremendous reach as she ran an edge, Annie made it all seem simple and effortless. She is truly one of the Brittany elite. I encourage you to cast your vote for this deserving dog in the Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame.

I wanted to add a little more to my endorsement since I had already added my short, and not near flattering enough, endorsement of her for the HOF. I was lucky that I got to see her run quite a few times. I always say that you can tell a great dog because the hair on your neck stands up when you’re watching them. Annie was one of those dogs. I remember chuckling one time and making the comment it was going to be fun to see who was smarter that day, Frank or Annie. And as the case is with most of us Annie won. She had a set a wheels and that uncanny sense to end up where the birds were. When you look at bitches as compared to dogs I contend that you generally have to multiply their record times three. Between being in season and raising puppies they just don’t have the chances that the males have. Annie’s record is therefore above reproach and is well deserved of entry. I don’t get to watch many dogs run anymore but it’s always nice to be able to remember that you were able to see some of the really good ones run. And man that little gal could run.

Annie always was "on." The year she won she was coming off a litter of pups and had little or no work before the championship. She always was a consistant winner that is the kind of performance that needs to be rewarded.

I had the opportunity to scout Annie on a few occasions and she always knew where she was suppose to be even if the handler didn't. I feel she deserves to be in the Brittany Hall of Fame. She is a very consistent dog in her run and her bird finding ability. Her record speaks for itself.
