Testimonials Testimonial 3/22/2008:
I have bought many puppies in my life and I can honestly say that I have never come across a better breeder!! I actually was able to visit the home and the breeder where these puppies are bred. The home is clean, the breeder (Kathy) is so into breeding her animals and gives all her time to make sure that we receive the best of the best!! It takes a special person to do what she does! Kathy portrays kindness, love, dedication and integrity! I will most definitely buy again from this AWESOME breeder!! Our little Abbie is more socially interactive than I am! (If you knew me, you would find that hard to believe but it's true!)
Thank you for your hard work so that my family could love and enjoy our little Abbie!!
With Much Gratitude!
Brad, Christie, Donovan, Brianna and ABBIE!!!!

Hi Kathy,
Dupree is such a great dog! He is the most gentle natured thing and we love him like crazy. He is so smart and has been a joy to have in our home. I thought you might like a couple new pictures of him...This one is a few weeks ago, but I love it. Our cat Ramona thinks it is her job to bathe the dog! Janae, Colorado

Kathy, Sorry it has taken so long to hear frome me, I know your wondering how your baby is doing? Well I will first tell you she is a blessing....We love her so much, I think it was meant to be. I looked for a long time here in florida in the newspaper week after week, then went on line and found you and your wonderful family. The day she flew in we went to petsmart to get a few things, and dropped her off in the groomers and got 2 pink bows one on each ear, and pink toenails, she was such a hit in there, almost didnt get her back! I would walk by while I was shopping and take a peak, she was just sitting there letting them do her feet like a pedicure... My husband is bonding with her also, she has been riding around with him to in the truck. When I do laundry, I open the dryer door, and she puts her to front paws up there and just watches while I fold them. She is quite a little lady. Gone through a few names, but nothing has stuck yet guess when it hits me I will let you know. Just want to thank you again, for all the emails and pictures over the weeks, it sure does not do them justice, she truly is a beautiful dog. Soon as I figure out how to send pictures they are comming. Just another day or two. Anyway I will stay in touch dont mean to bend your ear, I am just so impressed with my new baby, I just want you to know you have a gift and do a wonderful thing touching people through you puppies. Thanks again talk to you soon, Lisa in Florida
Hi Kathy,
Hope you are staying warm. Yoda is a great dog. She has the best personality and is very smart. Andrew enjoyed the puppy class and plans to take the basic class when she is six months old. Thought you would enjoy the graduation photos.

We have had our German Shorthaired Pointer, Beignet, now for about a year and it is a good time to reflect upon our experience with her. We bought our pup from Rick and Kathy Fitzpatrick, knowing what we wanted was a tall order – an enthusiastic and energetic hunting dog, but one that would make a manageable house dog and a pet for our kids as well. Well, here we are a year later and it seems we have the best of both worlds. With Rick’s help in field training and my daughter’s work on obedience training, Beignet is shaping up to be a fantastic hunter and fun loving family member. Beignet lives comfortably (perhaps too comfortably) in our kitchen, she enjoys our yard, the nearby park and plays very well with the neighborhood dogs…but when we head out to the hunt fields she is all business – pretty remarkable for a 1 year old puppy!
When we picked Beignet from the litter, Rick and Kathy helped us identify mannerisms and characteristics of a pup which might be clues as to how she would be as an adult. We looked for an active and playful puppy that would have the confidence and stamina to hunt, but one that would easily accept training. As solid as Beignet seems to be in the field, remarkably, she recently won Grand Champion in a recent Arapahoe County 4-H Showmanship and Obedience Intermediate Class Competition. Despite the new environment there, and plenty of canine distractions, Beignet responded well to our daughter’s commands (sit, down, stay) and walked with the young handler like a champ.
That is Beignet’s story. For all the great progress we know she is still young and has a lot of work and maturing ahead (she does get a little too excited about our neighborhood rabbits), but honestly, we could not have asked for a better dog or for better help with her training! Rick and Kathy thanks to both of you!

They both look pretty intense about something out there!
Okay, I confess, around our place, the animals rule! Below you will see pictures, all taken on our ranch, which shows many of our fat and sassy pets and livestock. We seem to have a little of everything, and they are all healthy and happy, and totally spoiled. Everyone here jumps when the animals call!
