Our Brittany, Jessie, showed all of the traits of good breeding as a pup, and now three years later, has become an excellent field dog and a wonderful companion at home. We frequently hunt Jessie along side other dogs such as labs and springers, and she clearly demonstrates the superior traits that are part of her bloodline. While spirited in the field, she has a gentle disposition and loves the company of children and adults. She is quick to learn new commands and adjusted well to a rigorous training routine. She is equally comfortable in a kennel or the house, however prefers to sleep on her bed next to ours! Our thanks to Ann and John for all of the hard work that it took to breed such a fine Brittany.

We picked up "beanie" our L/W male last summer and to say it was a pleasure is an understatement. John and Ann were wonderful and took the time to get to us and our son Hunter! Beanie has exceptional disposition and hunting instinct. He is our second son! Thanks so much!

We purchased 2 liver and white males (Shogun and Vegas) from John and Ann two years ago and it was the smartest decision we ever made. These dogs are the loves of our lives. John and Ann have been there every step of the way, giving pointers and suggestions. In fact, they got us interested in field trialing and Shogun took 2 back-to-back first places as well as a third at his first field trial last fall. Vegas took a 4th - Vegas has a little more training to do. We will always stick with the Brittany breed and we'll be sticking with John and Ann also as they are 2 very special people with exceptional dogs.

We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with J&A's Brittanys or of Ann and John. We inquired early on in 2006, months before a litter was even planned, and we signed on. Ann & John followed up frequently and kept us fully informed through the whole breeding, pregnancy, birthing and initial training processes. To say we were impressed would be an understatement! Not only did we get a fantastic companion in our O&W male Cody, but we were able to experience first hand the outstanding job J&A's does promoting the breed and the dedication they put into their operation. We haven't once regretted our decision and have bragging about J&A's ever since - THANK YOU ANN & JOHN!

We got our Brittany from J & A's Brittanys two years ago. Boomer our L/W male has been a great addition to our family. He is a great hunting dog and most of all he is gentle and loving with our two kids Callum who is 4 and Alana 19months. Both John an Ann have been great to work with and have been available to answer any questions we have had. Would definitely get another dog from them and have recommended them to friends that want an excellent hunting/companion dog.

Picking the right breeder is as important as choosing the right breed, in our case a Brittany pup. We found the folks at J&A's Brittanys to be extremely devoted to the breed and very helpful throughout the selection and socialization process. They remain as great a resource "after the sale" as they were before it.
Our 8 month old female Brittany pup Daisy is healthy, well adjusted, totally conforming to standard, intelligent and has already shown to have deep hunting instincts. Even our Vet commented on her overall health and temperament and inquired about the kennel we got her from.
Keep up the good work Ann and John, Daisy is the best dog that's ever owned us.

Picked "Acorn" up last summer and had her pointing pheasant in October. Never saw such natural hunting ability before. Stays close and will hold point till flush. She also loves to be close and petted. Interacts well with other dogs and is highly intelligent. Could not be happier with our choice of breeder and dog. Thanks Ann & John

We think John and Ann offer exceptional Brittanys. The dogs are highly intelligent, healthy, and have strong hunting instincts. We know they screen for potential health issues, and it's evident they maintain high standards in their breeding program. We lost our 13-year-old Brittany last May. We brought home an 8-week-old pup from J&A's Brittanys last September, and were impressed with her interest in birds even as an infant dog. She was properly socialized, had no fears, and adjusted well to her new home. She is very athletic, has lots of energy, LOVES to be outdoors, and pays attention to whatever the bird population is doing. She learns very quickly. She's turning into a beautiful girl, who seems to have the foundation for good field skills. We intend to build on that foundation. When we are ready for a second dog, we will go to J&A's Brittanys.

I bought my Brittany from J & A Brittany's early last fall and I couldn't be happier, I have a great dog. Ann was a great help picking out the pup, giving pointers about hierarchy in the liter she had noticed and back ground information on sire and bitch traits. They have been available to answer all questions and provide information or web-sites on every thing from feeding to obedience training, hunting trials and hunting training. I would recommend their kennel and dogs to anyone. John has just been elected as president of the Central Maine Brittney Club which shows me great interest and dedication to the Breed and more contacts to help anyone with their Brit.

It was a pleasure to work with Ann and John when we were looking for a Brittany puppy last year. They had lots of good suggestions for training Sammie, and we followed them all with great success. She shows a fine hunting instinct and we are looking forward her first bird season. She's a beautiful dog, and easy to live with.
Ann and John are always in our thoughts, as they gave Sammie a hand-knitted blanket when we brought her home. Every night Sammie takes it out of the corner and curls up on it under the table while we are having dinner.
Ann and John are not only conscientious breeders, they are wonderful people. It's no surprise that their dogs are first rate.

I got my Brittany "Maggie" from John and Ann Short. She was about a year old and they chose not to breed her or continue her gun dog training because she could not reach the level of competition dogs they produce. Many breeders would have simply used her to breed more pups but they are truly dedicated to the breed and felt that was not the responsible thing to do. As a result, I was able to get Maggie as a pet and she is the most beautiful, well balanced dog I have ever seen. Her temperment is lovely and she has brought our family a lot of joy.
I highly reccommend them as caring and responsible breeders and I purchase another Brittany from them without hesitation.

J & A's Brittanys cannot be compared to any other breeder. They stand alone. They are exceptional in every aspect of what they do. Their pedigree lines, kennel facility and warm, friendly manner make you realize you made the right choice. From the very first moment we contacted them to present day, we have received more than we ever expected. We are currently awaiting our second Brittany pup. Our first Brittany is one and a half yrs old and we were so amazed and impressed, we immediately contacted John and Ann to be placed on a list for our second pup. Thank you John & Ann for loving this breed the way that you do and for nurturing such outstanding Brittanys.
