Here is a little text from various sources on Maverick britts -

“They are professional athletes and coaches, CEOs of multi-million dollar corporations and your Average Joe. They come from locales near and far, from Minnesota to California, from Canada to Costa Rica. And they'll want one thing: a Brittany pup from Irv Anderson. Anderson, 71, the chief proprietor of Maverick Kennels in Jordan, Minn., has bred, trained and sold Brittanys from his modest one-acre home for the last 21 years.During this time, he has earned a reputation for producing hellacious hunting dogs--Brittanys of good temperament that

hunt close, that are rock-steady pointers and relentless retrievers.”

“……Anderson said he breeds exclusively for temperament, the result of which should be a dog with "natural instincts"--one part hunting dog, one part family dog."I want to see natural ability in a dog," he said. "I want to see them respond to scent...how it points and how it retrieves. If they don't have the right temperament, I won't breed them."One dog that embodied all those characteristics was "Sunny," Anderson's first stud dog. "Sunny," who, ironically, was picked from a litter by Irv's wife, Myra, became the foundation of his kennel before he was put to sleep in 1993.…….”

“……Tom Dokken, owner of Oak Ridge Kennels in Northfield, Minn., said he knows the pedigree well.

"When Irv's dogs come out here to train, I can spot them immediately," he said. "Over the years, the thing that sticks with me most about his dogs is that they've been consistently good, dog after dog. You just don't find that very often."Irv loves his dogs, and it shows," Dokken added. "It's been a labor of love for him.……”

……"Socializing a Brittany is a key to training," Anderson said. "They are like children--you get out of them what you put in. Get the dog out there hunting the first year. It's the most important time. You must have a continuum of learning."

“And in front of us that day, as she had been for almost nine years, was Jenny, my fine Brittany spaniel. There were probably better hunting dogs than Jenny, but I doubt if there was a better friend. A dog should be enjoyed all year, not just during the hunting season, and enjoying Jenny was so easy.All she every really wanted from life was to please me, and to be near me. From her days as a pup, she was a constant companion. She cried pitifully if I or my wife were around and she couldn't be as close as possible. Garages and basements were not for Jenny; she believed her place to be on the couch, or in the car or wherever we were. She was a family member, with all the rights that went with that status.Out of Irv Anderson's Maverick Kennels in Jordan Minn., she had all the traits that make Irv's dogs special: intelligence, trainability, a great nose and maybe most importantly, she loved to hunt close to me.Other dogs ran "bigger" than Jenny, but she usually found birds by hunting carefully and methodically within 25 yards of the group. Her manner was elegant and stylish; her points were razor sharp and steady as a rock. I never saw her creep, and she never bumped an upwind bird. Like many pointers, she looked at retrieving as a necessary interruption to the much more enjoyable business of hunting and pointing.….”

“…..She knew when we were going hunting because of my evening preparations, and she often sat by my bed all night, hardly sleeping, afraid she'd miss something. In the field, her tail stopped wagging only when she pointed. And her favorite moment was when I rewarded her with a "Good Girl" as she brought a bird to hand.We had two kinds of pheasants to deal with that day: those that flushed a mile ahead, and those that didn't want to flush at all. Jenny found and pointed five of the latter variety, and our shooting, honed by several months of practice, was true. So when we climbed the last fence a few minutes before the 4:30 p.m. close, and walked down the road toward the truck, we were bone weary, but feeling the satisfaction that a successful late-season hunt can bring.”

Feedback from owners of Deuce's litters have these comments:

"Eric and I just wanted to let you know that Rusty has been great so far. Within the first week he learned his name, sit, come, and outside command. He scratches at the door when outside to come in and now goes to the door when he has to go out too. He got used to his crate after a few nights and now goes in when we say kennel and doesn't cry for long if at all. The first week we started him on finding pheasant wings in our place. He has found them all so far and I can hardly hold him back after he has the scent while Eric is still hiding the wing. " - The Hack Family

"Just wanted to let you know our little boy Remington is adjusting wonderfully! He gets along with our other dog(they love to play together) and fits in with the family great! His energy is amazing, but he behaves quite well for 8weeks old. He may whine for a few seconds when he goes in his cage, but settles down quickly. He slept all through the night last night (10p.m. to 4:30a.m.) for us without an accident. Thanks, we really are enjoying him." - The Ramsey Family

"Penny is doing GREAT! The boys love their "sister". She had a little

trouble taking her first shot, but we got her through it. Our vet was

really impressed with her tail dock - he said that's how he does it,

too. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Maybe we'll be looking

for another pup in a few years!" - The Resch Family

"We have been so enjoying watching Belle grow up! We have been doing so much with her. She passed puppy 'preschool' and 'kindergarten' classes. She loves to play with her puppy friends, go on hikes, hunt in our back yard (moles and chipmunks-caught a few of them), and play with the neighborhood children. Belle is easy going and a wonderful pal to have around. We couldn't be happier! We get compliments on her where ever we go, especially at the puppy and state parks." - The LaBeau Family

Hi Scott,

"Rusty is doing great. He has adjusted to not being the "baby" in the house well as our daughter is now 15 mos. old. He did wonderful with her from day one - when she was a baby and cried he would go lay next to her until I came to pick her up. And now he tolerates her taking his toys and trying to ride him like a horse."

"Eric was able to take Rusty out quite a few times at the hunt club this fall and winter for pheasant hunting and his nose as usual was great. This year was the first year he hunted with some other dogs as well - weimreiners, a yellow lab, and a younger brittany pup - he worked well with them and definitely still found the most birds."

"Overall, we couldn't ask for a better hunter or family dog. He is excited it is warmer now and he can get out for more exercise. Someday we will be looking to get another brittany, so hopefully you will continue to breed them as good as him!"

Take Care,

Maureen, Eric, Gabriele and Rusty
