Sun Country Bretons-Home of AKC Master Hunters - Arizona Epagneul Breton, French Brittany Spaniel Breeders

Since 1995 we have been proud owners of Epagneul Bretons, also known as French Brittanys. We usually plan one or two breedings each year. Our dogs are from champion lines, are OFA certified, and are proven hunters. French Brittanys are one of the smallest pointing breeds. Their sweet and pleasing disposition and high level of intelligence make them wonderful family companions. Yet, when the guns come out they are all business! Their fantastic bird sense & drive, natural retrieving and pointing ability, and close working nature make them fantastic upland bird dogs and the only ones we choose to hunt behind.

I spent a lot of time researching dogs and breeders and did extremely well with Sun Country Bretons. My pup Gunner is now 8 months old, and has exceeded my expections in every way. He is great around the house and progressing to the point that my lack of shooting skills is holding him back in the field. Having visited SCB several times, it is obvious that Don and Linda are passionate about the breed. Their dogs are world-class and proven hunters. Don and Linda give a lot of time and attention to training and socializing their dogs that would not be possible with a higher volume breeder. They made the process of selecting and training a puppy easy. Don and Linda are great people to deal with and I am hoping to purchase a second puppy from them once Gunner is fully trained.

Our experience with Don and Linda at Sun Country Bretons has been exceptional!! We purchased our little male from the 2 1/2 years ago and we absolutely LOVE our "Gus". First and for most, he is the most adorable and wonderful companion. He makes the perfect house pet and is so friendly with other dogs and loves everyone he meets. Secondly, his hunting ability is amazing. From the very beginning you could see his natural talents in the field. He can go all day long and can run side by side big running German Shorthairs, but with his small size is much more agile. We could not be happier with this little guy. . .

We purchased our French Brittany, Gabby (now Bella), from Don and Linda this past summer. The entire experience, from pre-birth kennel visit through answering our incessant questions, to final pick-up was easy, enjoyable and without flaw. Bella is a great pup, very active and great with the family. She loves heading to the field and knows that her check cord means "fun". Not only is the French Brittany an excellent upland breed, but Don and Linda are awesome breeders in every way!

Don and Linda are the nicest people you will ever get the chance to meet. Their dogs are world class, the puppies from their breeding program are what most people call " once in a lifetime" dogs. I should know I have three. Thanks to Sun Country Bretons quail hunting is fun again!

Don and Linda made purchasing a puppy a worry free experience! Radar has been everything I was hoping for in a French Brittany/Epagneul Breton, extremely birdy and a wonderful family member for my wife and four young children. I will post a video of one of Radar's first training sessions which shows the type of innate characteristics their breeding has produced. Just having computer issues but will post soon. I am forever greatful and would recommend Don and Linda to anyone looking for an exceptional bird dog but mostly a great companion!!

Don and Linda at Sun Country Bretons not only breed quality dogs, they are there to anwser any qustion you may have. We purchased our French Brittney puppy in July and she has been everything they said she'd be. Gigi is very smart, loving, active and birdie.

I bought a puppy from Don and Linda about 18 months ago and it was the best decision I could have made. Howie ( Frisco ) was from the second breeding of Titus and Rosie and has been the best companion I could ever want, he is a boundless ball of energy and has the best nose for both Quail and Pheasant that I have come across and is relentless in tracking them down.

I purchased a pup from Bella and Titus this past summer. I have only been able to hunt him a few times but he has the desire and ability to find birds in the field. He is an outstanding retriever of the shot bird and has no problem with feathers in his mouth.

Don and Linda have answered all my questions before and after purchase. If I would want another dog I would definitly go back to Sun Country Bretons.

Don and Linda are a great asset to the breed. Gila is now almost 8 months old and doing great. Her nose quality and hunting potential is already quite evident. She is the high quality pup that we expected from your very accomplished dogs. It is great to see breeders who truly care for the dogs and pups as much as the Rice's do. Thank you so much, and we look forward to staying in touch.

Don and Linda have the best French Brittany puppies as we bought a puppy in July from them and what a nice experience in purchasing, communication is beyond great as they so care that their puppies go to good homes. I can not say enough good things about this breeder. We are so happy with our Gabbi and such a good puppy to have. He is only seven months old and has already been hunting. This breed is so smart, learns fast, loves to please you and such a lover. As you can see, we are extremely happy with our puppy and with Don and Linda as breeders.
