Tristyn was (and continues to be) the surprise from
Taryn's litter by NFC/FC/AFC
Shambo's Dark Shadow. I knew Shadow carried the tri-color gene, but
wasn't really expecting to get them in Taryn's litter (she actually had
two, a tri boy didn't make it). She has a lot of white on the right side
of her face, so when she was born it looked like she was liver on one
side and tri on the other! Her orange markings came in enough
to show she is in fact properly marked. But, no one picked my tri
girl, so she stayed
with me and has slowly earned her way to a permanent spot in the gang.
Tristyn has turned out to be an outstanding potential show dog who will
keep me on my toes as I learn what it's like to show a tri-color Brittany
(the color is "allowed but not preferred"). She earned her first show
point at her first show, and with her solid structure and beautiful, flowing side gait, she may be difficult for judges to ignore! Tristyn was slow to start in the field; she loved to point
birds, but didn't run as much as her littermates. So while they went on
the field trial circuit as puppies, Tristyn spent the spring season hunting
with a friend in Idaho. This turned out to be the making of Tristyn, as
she not only blossomed into a fantastic bird dog who can find and point
birds like you wouldn't believe, she also discovered that she can RUN!
She earned her Derby points in short order, and we look forward to her future!
