Carter Brittany Kennel's FC AFC Emma Tayshon is an exciting shooting dog to watch on the ground and is snappy, animated, and forward moving with a ton of drive and stamina.  She began competing in adult stakes in 2012 and qualified for both the open and amateur 2013 National Championships, despite being limited to competitions of the extreme southern states.  At the 2013 National Gun Dog Championship FC AFC Emma Tayshon brought home the Judge's Award Of Merit.  The following year, Emma proudly took home 3rd place at the 2014 National Gun Dog Championship.  In 2017, Emma Tayshon was awarded National Gun Dog Champion Runner Up and received the National Perpetuator's Misty Skye Award for being the top female at the National Gun Dog Championship in 2017.  In 2018, she was named best of breed winner at the 2018 American Kennel Club All Pointing Breed National Gun Dog Championship.  She has extremely excited us with multiple hour stake wins and championship placements against some of the nation's top dogs.

FC AFC Emma Tayshon is sired by Brittany All Age legend 2005 National All Age Champion, 2004 and 2006 National Amateur All Age Champion and Hall of Fame inductee NFC 2xNAFC FC AFC Just Call Me Roy HOF, who has more National All Age wins and placements than any dog in the history of the breed with a total of seven - 3 total wins (2004 NAFC, 2005 NFC, 2005 NAFC), 1 Runner-Up (2003 NFC), 1 third placement (2006 NFC), and 2 fourth placements (2004 NFC, 2007 NAFC).  
 

FC AFC Emma Tayshon's mother is Carter Brittany Kennel's Drew's Favorite Ginger Snap.  Ginger's sire is Carter Brittany Kennel's FC AFC Brook's Little Pete who finished the 2008 field trial season as the #5 gun dog in the nation and earned his AKC field champion and amateur field champion titles with minimal campaigning. FC AFC Brook's Little Pete is sired by Brittany Field Trial Hall of Fame Inductee and NSTRA legend Nolan's Last Bullet.  Nolan's Last Bullet is the all-time winningest dog in the history of the National Shoot To Retrieve Association (NSTRA).  He holds virtually every meaningful record in this arena of field trial competition: most times a champion (32), most lifetime championship points (508), most points in a single season (102), most placements in NSTRA title trials (14).  His six first-lace finishes in NSTRA's flagship events - The Trial of Champions, the Grand National Invitational, etc. - is a record only one other dog has equaled.  Ginger's mother is our Nancy Drew, who is a littermate sister of our NGDC NAGDC FC AFC Peter Gunn who made Brittany history in 2009 as being the only dog to hold both the National Open and National Amateur Gun Dog Championship titles. He was awarded the 2010 American Brittany Club's National Magnum's Masked Man award for having the highest amount of gun dog field trial wins/points of any dog in the country. Pete made history again in 2012 by winning the American Brittany Club's National Tri Tronic's Top Shooting Dog Award and therefore became the first dog in the history of the breed to win every National Brittany shooting dog/gun dog title/award.
