2009 FBGDA Annual Meeting and Conclave
More information to come when available.



VERN



March 8th was a historic day for the Epagneul Breton Gun Dog Association and the United Kennel Club when Judge Regis Toulet awarded Mark Dinsmore a first place for his best friend Vernon de L'Escarbot's Open Braced run on wild pheasants at the Epagneul Breton Gun Dog Association's National meeting and Conclave. This first place completed the UKC's requirements for the title of Grand Champion - not just any Grand Champion but the first Grand Champion of the Field ever under the UKC pointing dog requirements. From this day forward whenever the UKC pointing dog program is researched GRCHF CH Vernon de L'Escarbot will be at the top of the list.

While a Grand Champion of the Field is a once in a lifetime achievement it is only one of many first for Vern and his co-pilot Mark. Vern ran a total of 11 UKC trials over a two-year period taking 6 first places. He was the first UKC Trailer, the first UKC Champion Trailer as well. Vern's accomplishments are still building as Mark plans to again visit France and run in the spring trials and continue to develop him in other venues.

While these are wonderful achievements Vern's greatest accomplishments are performed each and every fall in the field doing what he was bred to do - hunt. And each and every day as Mark's bedroom dog, honored guest, mastiff, consul, and best friend. In short Vern deserves the greatest title of all - the title "GUN DOG".

2007 Epagneul Breton Specialty at the Premier sponsored by the
Epagneul Breton Gun Dog Society
Article is by Lynda Kieres

The turnout of Epagneul Breton at the 2007 UKC Premier event held at Kalamazoo, MI was the best it's EVER been. First of all - thanks to ALL the participants and spectators for supporting this inaugural event. This was the first time the FBGDA has held a breed specialty show at this event and the attendance was TREMENDOUS. We had 25 dogs entered in our specialty show, all the way from show champions to 3-6 month old Novice Puppies. We had excellent representation of both varieties for Judge Kay Creamer from Ireland to review.
