Dog of the Month
This month we feature Chapter 728 member Dennis Ford and his new dog Admiral Dakota Thunder! An American Brittany who came all the way from Ambrose, Georgia by air. He was bred by Carter Brittany Kennels and is descended from a long line of field-champions, most notably NGDC Peter Gunn, his grand-father.
Dakota has been maturing well, but is still a puppy. A quick-study, he is obsessive about birds. With the help of my neighbor Ryan DiDomenico, Dakota has spent many hours at the Chautauqua Bird Dog Club learning his trade.
In October, Ryan and I took Dakota and Rev to North Dakota.
Seven other members of Chapter 728 were also there with their dogs. It was a learning experience for Dakota and myself to say the least. Dakota came back a more mature pup with the heart of a lion and a very strong drive to hunt.
Beyond that Dakota has wiggled his tail into the hearts of my wife, daughter, and friends.
We all look forward to seeing Dakota continue to grow and develop his skills in the field, along with the service of his nose for future chapter youth and veterans hunt.
