This is Rich Plywacz from Wisconsin, I purchased one of your GREAT Brittanies, about 2 years ago. I just wanted to give you a little feedback, about Babe. She is one of the greatest dogs I have ever had. She is my third Brittany. Seems when she hit 2 years old she is a whole different dog. I really started working with her out in the field this spring, she is amazing. The hunting skills she has is incredible, she can smell birds like I never saw any dog. She minds very well, she is so friendly with people, also other dogs. Her temperment, is what every dog owner wants.When I leave the house, normally she goes where I go, but there are times I leavr her at home, no cage, she has the run of the house, she touches nothing, I have heard horror stories about other dogs, but Babe is great.I receive so many compliments on her, when I take her out, they love the color.She loves to have her belly rubbed, and the neighborhood kids come over just rub her belly. I just wanted to say thanks for a great dog. Now I see why I was told by friends, I was lucky to get a dog frm Nevene Kennels. I will be sending you some pics of her.
Dear Gene and Neveta,
I am
sure that with as many puppies as you have placed throughout the country over
the years, remembering every individual buyer is next to impossible. My
wife, Julie drove over to Liberty in April 2001. She was coming over
to pick up a female Brittany and you did not have one available at that
particular time. Fortunately for us, you suggested that she consider
taking a male pup that you had kept out of a "pick of the litter"
arrangement. He instantly became a permanent member of our family.
My son, JP was 11 years old at the time. In addition to having "Rocky"
as a pet, he would be used as a bird dog as well. Without any formal
training, just following some older experienced dogs owned by a friend of mine,
Rocky immediately understood his mission. He aggressively
pursues birds in the field providing solid points. I have to admit
Rocky is used as bird dog about 2 percent of the time and the other 98
percent, he spends as a regular family member. Some of his
unique attributes include, he is an incredible mouser, (points the mouse in the
garage, we pull the box away from the wall and he pounces on it and hands it to
us) he receives a bath once a week and he literally jumps into the
tub by himself and waits for Julie to come in and bathe him, he loves to be
blown dry with the hair dryer when he is done. He lays on his back and
goes to sleep while Julie uses a Dremel tool to file his toenails. He also
loves it when Julie brushes his teeth and uses a dental pick to address the
plaque. He sleeps in our bedroom every night in his own bed. He has
never once shown any aggression towards people or animals. Our vet said he
has the best temperament of any Brittany he has ever seen. He was never
neutered and we have thought that he would make great puppies. He craves
attention and loves to be petted continuously. We are fortunate to have
several great places for him to run. All of our walks consist of him
running at full tilt, quartering back and forth in front of us. He will be
8 years old on Feb. 11. He is starting to grey a little bit around his
eyes, but he still thinks he is a puppy. I suspect you probably have a
drawer full of letters similar to mine, but I just wanted to say thanks for
providing us with the best dog we have ever had. I have provided a few
pictures from over the years. As you can see, we have watched our son, JP,
grow up along with Rocky.
Your friends,
John, Julie and JP

Gene,
A couple of hunting pictures from this year, one from Saskatchewan on a sharp-tail, hun and pheasant hunt, and the second from last weekend on a North Dakota pheasant hunt.
Buster is one of your dogs I bought from you in June of 2006, he has turned out to be a tremendous hunter...in each of the pictures, he's the one with the red collar.
