I'm Julie N., the breeder behind Turning Point Brittanys located in Morton, IL. My dogs live in my home and go to work with me every day they are not with our field trainer, Bob Burchett of Burchett’s Bird Dogs. They are equally happy to go to work and school with Bob and staying at home playing with each other or their friends in daycare. They are extremely social and friendly both with people and other dogs. They are continually worked and played with to keep their lives fun and interesting, no matter their age. They are extremely versatile as well, doing things like agility and dock diving in addition to their fine bird work in the field.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
I had a really spectacular female years ago who took the Brittany community by storm. She showed beautifully and was one heck of a field trial competitor. I had bred her mom to get her so I felt maybe I actually did have an understanding of what can produce a quality Brittany. Here I am 25 years later.
What makes your program special?
My deep commitment to quality and to the duality. I want my dogs to look like a Brittany but also be very intelligent. I also work very diligently to raise the puppies in the most stimulating environment possible including the complete Puppy Culture.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
