About Toby

Toby is the dog people picture when they think of a Montana field Brittany: a compact orange-and-white male who runs the big sage flats around Whitehall with his head high and stops hard when he hits scent. He earned placements as a puppy and again as a derby, and in 2017 that derby season earned him an invitation to the National Derby Invitational in Arkansas, the gathering of the year's top young Brittanys.

The result that says the most about him came later. In 2019 he won the open all-age stake at the Montana Brittany Club's annual field trial. All-age is the biggest-running, most independent stake in the sport, and a dog that wins it has to find birds on his own, far from the handler, and hold them until the gallery arrives. Toby does that.

His hips are OFA Good and his elbows OFA Normal. He is available at stud; if you are looking to add his range and bird sense to a hunting or trial line, get in touch and tell us about your female and your goals.
