This is a newly formed club and we are not yet sanctioned by the American Brittany Club (ABC) or the American Kennel Club (AKC). We are working toward this as rapidly as possible.
Porcupine Avoidance Clinics
Much like a rattlesnake avoidance clinic but with a caged live porcupine and of course, no direct contact.
