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!

I first met Chris Holbrook at his kennel on December 15, 2012. My kids wanted two brittany pups for pets. Chris had a litter of five there that had just turned two weeks old. My kids picked out a male and a female. Chris emailed my kids pictures of the pups weekly. We brought the pups home in late January. Chris had prepared a packet with all the pups' info for us. My vet examined the dogs and said that they were in perfect health. The pups are now six months old and you could not have asked for two better pups. They are intelligent, obedient, loyal, easily trained, well bred, beautiful animals. My kids absolutely love them. They are like members of the family. We are 110% satisfied. Holbrook Kennels is the best!

My husband and I recently got a German Short Haired puppy from Chris at Holbrook Kennels. Chris was so easy to work with and very informative. He kept us updated with pictures and was flexible in setting up a time to get our pup. Our lil pup is a little over 3 months now and is a healthy little ball of energy who we are in love with. Every where we go we get compliments on what a great looking dog he is. I would recommend this Kennel to anyone interested in a new pup.

I recently purchased a 13 week old male Britanny pup from Chris and could not be more pleased with my purchase. The dog is in fantastic health. All shots were up to date and he gave great instructions what I needed to do in the future. The pup is very mild mannered. Doesn't bark (except at the cat) and seems be extremely teachable. He is retreiving already and points on the wing. Really looking forward to getting him in the field. Very pleased and I would recommend Holbrook Kennels for your next bird dog.

What an AWESOME dog!!! Got my GSP from the January 31 litter. She has met and exceded all my expectations. I do alot of hiking in the red river gorge, along with other various outdoor activities and I couldn't ask for a better companion. She is very responsive and keeps close. Chris was very informative and runs a very professional operation. I will most certainly be getting another GSP from Holbrook kennels.

Our experience with Chris was perfect. Our puppy was healthy and obviously well-cared for before we picked her up. Chris clearly knows what he is doing. If we ever get another another dog, I will be going back to him.

Chris is very helpful in answering questions and helping in the adoption process. He takes pride in his dogs and makes the process a breeze. My GSP pup from Holbrook Kennels just turned 12 weeks and is a beautiful and healthy pup. She began pointing at ten weeks and has shown a large interest in birds. There is no doubt she will make a great hunting partner. Holbrook Kennels is highly recommended.

We picked up our GSP puppy from Chris this past weekend and were very pleased with our experience with him. Chris answers emails and questions extremely promptly, which was important to me since we are 2.5 hours from his home and consequently could not see the puppy in person before we picked her up. Chris sent us multiple pictures of each puppy he had for sale. Upon pickup, we met our puppy's parents and were given all pedigree paperwork, as well as paperwork with the different wormings and vaccinations our puppy had been given. Our female GSP puppy has only been with us for a short time, but she has fit right into our family. She is learning quickly with house training and is very playful and sweet. She loves to cuddle, too! If you are considering a GSP, I highly recommend Chris' puppies.

I bought a brittany pup from chris back early february of 2012 and cannot be more pleased with my dog! not only in actions twords myself and my small children, but more in the actions of his flawlessness in the field as my bird dog. he is just now 4 1/2 months and is excellent in the field, i took him out his first shoot with me when he was 10 weeks old and loved the sound of a gun. He is now 16 1/2 weeks and is amazing in the field, he is pointing and retrieving 100% still trying to make him hold but hes just a pup, chris was as kind as they come when asking questions and looking for the right companion, these brittanys are not only wonderful with children but also very loyal to there masters and excellent bird dogs!!! if your looking for a dog in great health and an awsome bloodline, then chris holbrook is the man to see.

I bought a Brittany pup from Chris back in 2007. I have owned 3 dogs in my life. I GSP a Vizla and now Jess, my Brittany.. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our dog. She is a great obedient dog with a wonderful desire to hunt and to please. She is an even better part of our family. Well behaved in the house and in the field.
Dealing with Chris was a great experience. He answered all of our e-mails and phone calls promptly and walked us through the process of getting our pup from Kentucky to Boston. I was so happy with my pup that I recommended him to my aunt who purchased a pup from his next litter.
Chris I’m sorry it took me so long to write this review.. Jess was a beautiful pup and she has turned into a wonderful dog and member of the family.. Thank you for everything.

We picked our GSP up form Holbrook Kennels on Nov 27th 2011. The pup was 5 months old and the last of his litter to be sold. He is a beautiful dog and very healthy. All of his shots were current and the kennels clean and well organized. We saw both of the parents and they also looked great. The pup was a little shy at first but within 3 days was running and playing with our other dog. Very smart and quick to learn as we have come to expect from other GSP's we have owned. Chris does a great job with his kennel and we would highly recommend him.
