Holbrook Kennels - Kentucky American Brittany, German Shorthaired Pointer Breeders

Welcome to Holbrook Kennels. I run a small operation located in central Kentucky. I grew up hunting quail and grouse in the foothills of Eastern Kentucky. This being said all of my dogs are out of proven hunting stock, yet their pedigrees will speak for themselves with NFC, AFC, FC, and Dc field trial titles. Names such as Nolan's Last Bullet, Tuminski's Crib, FC AFC Cunningham Roustabout Rowdy, FC Wrenegade's Strike Three, NFC FC Uodibar's Koonas, FC Rawhide's Lexington Jake and NFC Heide's Mighty City Slicker are present throughout my breeding. I believe in careful and selective breeding of only the best bloodlines and only proven hunting dogs to ensure my pups have all the traits and characteristics needed to become great hunters.

All my pups are socialized with adults and young children starting at 5 days old. They are handled and played with on a daily basis from then on. I personally do not like a timid, agressive or overly hyper dog so I have carefully bred my dogs not to have these traits. I usually have one or two litters a year of each breed alternating between sires and dams. My dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club of North America.

I only train and work dogs in the spring and summer months leaving the fall months to do what I love best watching my dogs working in the woods. I limit myself to training only 10 dogs a year to ensure I get to spend enough time with each dog to get it where it needs to be. If I happen to be booked up I have proven trainers that I am comfortable with that I can refer you too.

I look forward to introducing you to your next bird dog. Feel free to email or phone me with questions about upcoming litters or training questions. A great bird dog is a pleasure to have in the field and at home. Thanks and Happy Hunting!

My family recently purchased a German Shorthair Pointer from Holbrook Kennels (November 2008). From the very first contact with Chris, we had a wonderful experience. Chris answered any and all of our questions with patience and understanding. We lived 4 hours away and had to purchase our pup "unseen" but Chris was wonderful about sending us pictures on a regular basis and assisting us with our pick. We are extremely pleased with our choice. Our pup has a great temperment and is well adjusted. He also received a perfect check up at the vet. Our vet was very impressed with the documentation and health of the puppy. If the need should ever arise, we would definitely purchase another dog form Holbrook Kennels!

My family and I purchased a Brittany Spaniel from Holbrook Kennels in April. I was exceptionally pleased with how much Chris helped us to find the perfect Brittany. We kept in contact all through March and we were even able to pick out our puppy before even seeing her. We drove to Kentucky on a family trip from Southwest Virginia and picked up our puppy on the way home. Chris left his job to meet us at his house, and after we had met our new puppy he throughly answered our many questions and made sure that we were ready to go. She is a great joy, beautiful dog, and an excellent retriever. She was already fetching a stuffed duck the second day she came home and everyone that comes in contact with her talks about how beautiful and well-mannered she is! Thanks Chris, I couldn't imagine a better dog or better help in meeting our perfect dog!

I was very impressed with how helpful Holbrook Kennels was in assisting me in picking up and choosing my dog. I flew in chose a puppy in the morning and Chris got the dog airplane ready from the vet, drove the dog out to meet me near the airport after my business meeting. Excellent service and great looking healthy dogs.
This dog is a great dog, hunts for me when I walk out the door on our 3 acres. Was pointing a wing the week I brought him home. He points and holds very well at 5 months. He lives to hunt. I just returned from the vet today, the vet was very impressed at how well mannered the dog was and everyone that came in while I was there remarked what a beautiful dog he was. He is also very well behaved, sleeps in the house at night in his crate and doesn't make a sound. I coulnd have asked for a better dog.
I couldn't be happier with this dog. thanks, this puppy is proof of quality breeding.
