American Brittany Gun Dogs

• Turkey Creek Dr Jac’s Pence O’Dee

  Turkey Creek Dr Jac’s Pence O’Dee (Pence) is out of CH DR Jac’s Redneck Rampage SR69349309 and Granmars Sweet Dreams SR63284509. His bloodline is from frozen semen from DC AFC M C Brett Jared O’Dee. Pence is an exceptional Gundog and proven stud, admired for both his performance and presence. His confirmation is excellent, with a well-balanced frame and a refined head and muzzle that consistently draw compliments. His calm, friendly temperament adds to his appeal—not just as a working dog, but as a companion. Over the years, these standout traits have been reliably passed down to his offspring, reinforcing the strength and consistency of his lineage. Pence combines intense hunting drive with a disciplined, methodical approach in the field. He quarters naturally and efficiently, staying focused until he locates game. When he goes on point, he’s typically positioned directly over the bird. He is trained to be steady to wing and holds his point until released, making him an ideal role model for developing young dogs. He also works well when running with multiple dogs and it is fun to watch them back him. Pence is, without question, one of the finest retrievers I’ve ever worked with. His determination in locating downed birds is unmatched—he won’t quit until the job is done. What’s truly remarkable is his ability to track a bird in flight, disappearing from view in pursuit, only to reappear minutes later with the bird in his mouth. That kind of drive, instinct, and precision is rare, and it never fails to impress. For more information on Pence see STUD DOGS AVAILABLE section and the Pedigrees section.

• Turkey Creek O’Dee Cooper’s Ozark Traveler Ned

  Turkey Creek O'Dee Cooper's Ozark Traveler "Ned" A promising young male whose pedigree reflects generations of excellence. Sired by True Grit Turkey Creek O'Dee Tripp—conceived using frozen semen from AFC Cooper’s Ozark Traveler, a National Field Champion boasting a Brittany Hall of Fame lineage—and out of Dr. Jac’s Turkey Creek Roxanne O'Dee, a direct descendant of the legendary Nolan’s Last Bullet, one of the breed’s most prolific sires. Ned carries forward the legacy of proven performance established through selective breeding at Turkey Creek Kennels. His keen ability to locate game swiftly is a direct reflection of Tripp’s exceptional scenting aptitude, which he has inherited and consistently demonstrates in the field. At Turkey Creek Kennels, our breeding program is strategically designed with a 10-year vision, thoughtfully weaving together the esteemed Cooper’s Ozark Traveler, O’Dee, and Auten bloodlines. Ned stands as a prime example of this intentional legacy—his lineage a deliberate cross between Cooper’s Ozark and O’Dee, chosen to uphold our unwavering commitment to excellence through selective, purpose-driven breeding.

• Turkey Creek O Dee True Grits Ned Peppers Mattie

  Turkey Creek O Dee True Grits Ned Peppers Mattie is the daughter of True Grits Lucky Ned Pepper (AKC #SR78883703) and Turkey Creek Big Nose Kate. I had the privilege of hosting True Grits Lucky Ned Pepper in my kennel for several summers to support my guiding work. Ned’s lineage traces back to DC AFC Brett Jared O’Dee, a distinguished sire whose legacy was preserved through frozen semen. From the outset, Ned proved himself a natural field producer. Hunters consistently praised his intense drive to hunt, his ability to quarter the field with precision, and his instinctive talent for locating, locking up, and holding point—steady to wing. His retrieving skills were truly exceptional—something you had to witness firsthand to fully appreciate. More than once, I was asked whether I planned to breed him, a testament to the impression he left on everyone who saw him work. True Grits Lucky Ned Pepper was bred to my top-producing dam, Turkey Creek Big Nose Kate. Kate was a standout in the field—an exceptional Gundog with all the traits hunters prize: drive, intelligence, biddability, and a natural point. Her pedigree traces back to Nolen’s Last Bullet, one of the most prolific and respected sires in the breed’s history. Turkey Creek O Dee True Grits Ned Peppers Mattie, whelped on November 19, 2025, quickly proved that the pairing of True Grits Lucky Ned Pepper and Turkey Creek Big Nose Kate was a winning combination. From an early age, Mattie displayed a strong natural drive to hunt and a competitive spirit that stood out among seasoned Gundogs in the field. Mattie’s instincts came alive during two western hunting trips, where she quickly refined her skills in searching, locating, pointing, and retrieving. Her early performance is a clear reflection of the strength behind her pedigree and her natural aptitude in the field. We’re excited about her future as a reliable and promising breeding female for the Turkey Creek Kennel program. To learn more about Mattie, visit the Pedigrees section of our website for detailed lineage information. You’ll also find her featured under Services & Brood Matrons, where we highlight her role in our breeding program. And don’t miss the Testimonials section.

• True Grit Turkey Creek O'Dee Tripp

  True Grit Turkey Creek O'Dee Tripp descends directly from an exceptional lineage, sired through frozen semen from FC AFC Cooper’s Ozark Traveler—a National Field Champion boasting a Brittany Hall of Fame lineage. The dam, True Grits M.C. Ruff – Shod Dustee O’Dee, also carries distinguished heritage, being the product of frozen semen from DC AFC M.C. Brett Jared O’Dee. Tripp is a striking gundog with excellent conformation and a powerful, fluid gait. His agility and athleticism allow him to quarter the field with ease, navigating terrain swiftly and efficiently. With his expansive range and stamina, Tripp is capable of covering ground for four to seven hunters simultaneously—making him a valuable asset in the field. Tripp’s second most remarkable trait is his exceptional nose. It’s not unusual to see him working a scent line with intensity, then suddenly locking into a solid point from 10 to 20 yards out. Trained Steady to Wing, he maintains his point with unwavering focus until the hunter arrives to flush the bird—demonstrating both discipline and instinct in perfect harmony. Feedback from hunters on Tripp’s litters has been overwhelmingly positive. The puppies are showing early drive and a strong instinct to hunt, clearly inheriting Tripp’s intense passion for the field. Photos and videos consistently reveal pups full of energy, intelligence, and promise. References are available upon request for those seeking firsthand accounts. To learn more about Tripp, please visit the Stud Dogs Available and Pedigrees sections. For insights from satisfied clients, be sure to explore the Testimonials section as well.

  Roxie is the offspring of CH Rebelflame Chance MH and Dr Jac’s True Grits Missy O’Dee. Both the Sire and the Dam have good confirmation and an ardent desire to hunt. Roxie is from the O’Dee bloodline, which is proven for good confirmation and strong field results. Roxie was purchased for selective breeding to maintain continuity of the O’Dee bloodline. She is a smaller female weighing in at 37-pounds. She is fast, smart, competitive, and has a burning desire to hunt. She can easily stay up with my bigger stud dogs. She is trained Steady to Wing and backs the other dogs on point. Roxie’s litter results have produced particularly good hunting dogs. She has been a strong asset to our kennel.

• Turkey Creek Big Nose Kate

  Kate is out of one of our previous stud dogs Turkey Creek Jack Flash SR34122003 and TKC’s Rocket Ginger Dandy SR65421701. Kate was one of my best Dams and Gundogs. She was truly a pleasure to hunt with. She had a genuinely nice temperament. In the field she was obedient and responsive. Kate weighed in at 35 pounds. Her hunting style was deliberate, and she would not give up on a scent. She would track a bird with her nose to the ground until she found the bird, then lock up and hold point. Kate had an incredibly good nose and could drift bird scent from quite a distance. Once she smelled the scent she would lock up and wait for me before advancing. This was an admirable trait that I enjoyed. Kate is a descendant of the all-time great Nolen’s Last Bullet. Kate produced four exceptionally good litters. Turkey Creek O Dee True Grits Ned Peppers Mattie is currently in our kennel. Kate has been retired to a former puppy customer in Fort Wayne, IN. For more information on Kate see the Pedigrees section. You might also want to review the Testimonials section.

Jack was born April 26, 2006 Jack was a handsome Gundog with excellent confirmation and a wonderful temperament. He was obedient and responded well to field commands making him a pleasure to hunt with. He was close working and had a very good nose.

• Turkey Creek Big Skye Kid

  Skye is out of Turkey Creek Jack Flash SR34122003 and Turkey Creek Dakota Chubb SR78228604. Chubb was my best Dam in 2007. The cross with Jack produced several litters of high quality with good field results like Skye.

• Turkey Creek Cool Hand Luke

  Luke was out of Doc Holliday X SR35884602 and Turkey Creek Dakota Chubb SN78228604. He was born on July 24, 2009. Luke has great confirmation and performed in the field with a strong gunning gait. He weighed at 40 pounds and has a sturdy-built body. He was very good at quartering the field and covering several hunters. Combined with Chubb's field strengths this produced very nice puppies for several hunters. The featured in the picture is Luke. SR58165602

• Turkey Creek Dakota Chubb

  Chubb SN78228804 Chubb is out of Napoleon Lincoln Buck SN32992608 and Josephine Auten Buck SN62586703. Chubb was whelped October 25, 2000. Chubb was much like her father Napoleon (Nappy) who was a solid Gundog with good field ability. Chubb was great at quartering the field, locating the bird, locking up and holding point until I got there to kick the bird out. She served me well for many years until her days were done as one of my best Dams.

• Turkey Creek Western Spur

  Spur – SS17545001 Featured in the picture is Spur as a puppy with her father Turkey Creek Dr Jac's Pence O'Dee (one of our Stud Dogs). Spur was a fast-starting puppy with a superior nose.

She was great at backing the other dogs. She was very easy to train. Spur was sold at an early age and resides in Southern Indiana where she currently resides.

• Turkey Creek Dusty II O'Dee Dream Catcher Rio

  Turkey Creek Dusty II O'Dee Dream Catcher Rio is the result of a frozen semen breeding between the celebrated sire DC AFC M C Dusty II O'Dee and the accomplished dam Shea’s Graceful Queen. She was purposefully integrated into the Turkey Creek Kennels breeding program as part of a selective line breeding strategy designed to preserve and advance the excellence of the Brittany bloodline. Rio’s first litter was sired by our kennel’s proven stud, True Grit Turkey Creek O'Dee Tripp. This pairing produced exceptional Gundogs, including Turkey Creek True Grit O'Dee Coopers Ozark Sisu.

Over the years I have been asked for recipes after dining experiences with hunters, friends, and families. Now you can download and enjoy my collection. These can also be used with chicken for those who do not prefer wild game. Remember, over cooking fowl only drys the meat out. Tip: If you inject fowl with marinade and place it in the refridgerator the night before cooking, then the meat will aborb the marinade.
