Prairie Prime LLC is a diversified agribusiness based in Oklahoma. Our business focus revolves around the Epagneul Breton (French Brittany) and Field Bred English Cocker Spaniel versatile gun dogs for the American hunter. Prairie Prime's breeding dogs have been tested and proven in the field, water, show ring, and are health certified in order to increase the likelihood of producing offspring that
inherit excellent health, temperament, versatile hunting ability, and conformation. Our versatile breeding dogs live an active lifestyle outdoors serving as our upland gun dogs a minimum of 45 field days per season and otherwise are with us indoors as our family dogs. Todd Farris, Managing Member of Prairie Prime LLC, enjoyed watching the dog work so much as a new upland hunter in his early 40's that he began searching for a versatile gun dog that would meet his needs as hunting companion and family dog in the home. The search led him to the Epagneul Breton. In a brief period of time he became an EB enthusiast promoting the smallest of the pointing dog breeds at every opportunity. The Farris family are primarily upland bird and waterfowl hunters but participate in a limited schedule of field trials and hunt tests each year enjoying the camaraderie of other Epagneul Breton owners. His goal with Prairie Prime LLC is to bring new hunters to the wing-shooting lifestyle through education and conservation and also to bring new owners to the Epagneul Breton gun dog through breed awareness, Prairie Prime LLC puppies, and involvement in regional and national clubs.
Todd founded the Chisholm Trail Epagneul Breton Gun Dog Club (CTEBGDC) in the fall of 2015 and currently presides as President of the CTEBGDC serving the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas. The club hosts specialty and conformation shows, training events, and UKC sanctioned field trials. The CTEBGDC facilitates a digital presence for the promotion of the Epagneul Breton with a website www.chisholmtrailebclub.com and a page. Todd also served on the Club de l'Epagneul Breton of the United States (CEB-US) Board of Directors www.ceb-us.org acting as the national club Secretary from the spring of 2016 to the spring of 2019. Currently he sits on Post 4 of the CEB-US board of directors and is the Chairman of the Epagneul Breton Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. He maintains annual memberships in the NRA, Quail Forever, a Supporting Membership in the CEB-US, a Premier Membership in the CTEBGDC, and is a Gold Level donor to the Epagneul Breton Foundation. He also is an annual donor to the NRA Hunting initiative to protect the sport of hunting in the United States. Todd commits Prairie Prime LLC to the guidelines for breeding practices of the CEB-US to ensure the betterment of the breed in the United States. He has been a strong stakeholder in the Epagneul Breton in the United States by creating breed awareness with the upland hunting public at venues like Pheasants Forever's Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic trade shows in Kansas City and Minneapolis and in participating in Scott Linden's Wingshooting USA television episode that showcased the Epagneul Breton breed on opening day of Iowa's pheasant season in the fall of 2016 and which aired on national television in August of 2017. A second episode of Scott Linden's Wingshooting USA featuring the Prairie Prime Epagneul Bretons aired the summer of 2018. Prairie Prime LLC opened a membership-based Wingshooting Club in 2021. Owners of a gun dog may purchase a membership to train and hunt their dog(s) on 640 acres of prime upland and waterfowl habitat. In 2022 Prairie Prime LLC entered into the commercial game bird business providing the highest quality Northern Bobwhite Quail for its wingshooting club and for targeted external clients.
