Prairie Prime

Prairie Prime LLC operates as an integrated hunting solution for upland bird and waterfowl hunters across Oklahoma and the surrounding region. Founded and run by Todd L. Farris—a master guide, gamekeeper, and dedicated breed advocate—the operation combines a functional wingshooting club, selective dog breeding program, and curated product selection for the modern wingshooter.

In 2021, Prairie Prime opened a membership-based wingshooting club in central Oklahoma spanning 800 acres of prime upland and waterfowl habitat. The club serves as both a proving ground and showcase for the Epagneul Breton gun dog breed. Members gain access for hunting, training, and fishing. The facility hosted the CEB-US National Conclave, Field Trials, and Specialty Show in 2023, positioning it as a significant regional venue for the breed community.

Prairie Prime produces 2-3 litters per year from Epagneul Bretons and English Cocker Spaniels. All breeding dogs are:

• •Field and water proven with active hunting seasons
• •Health certified to increase likelihood of excellent offspring temperament and hunting ability
• •Active outdoor companions serving as gun dogs a minimum of 60 days per season
• •Indoor family dogs the remainder of the year

The operation prioritizes selective placement—Todd Farris personally evaluates each puppy and family match to ensure lasting relationships. Puppies arrive socialized and ready to learn. The business is a registered CEB-US breeder committed to official breeding practice guidelines and hip dysplasia protocols.

"Our dogs are part of our family. They hunt with us, live indoors with us, travel with us, and are an important part of the lifestyle we live."

The Epagneul Breton fills a specific niche for modern bird hunters:

• •Versatile pointing and retrieving for upland birds, doves, and waterfowl
• •Smallest of the pointing breeds with a docked tail—compact enough for duck blinds and family homes
• •Natural water ability with strong retrieving instincts and proven capacity for waterfowl retrieval
• •Biddable temperament that translates to easy indoor living as a family companion
• •Intense drive to retrieve birds as large as Canada geese

Todd Farris founded the Chisholm Trail Epagneul Breton Gun Dog Club in 2015 and serves as its President, organizing specialty shows, training events, and UKC-sanctioned field trials across Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas. He served as national CEB-US Club Secretary (2016-2019) and guided membership growth to 85% over three years. He currently serves as a UKC licensed TAN and WRT field trial judge and is a Platinum Donor and former Chairman (2022-2025) of the Epagneul Breton Foundation.
