I cannot say enough praise about J&As Brittanys! I am a first time brittany owner. John and Ann were a great resource for raising our new addition but also helped us to obtain literature for training the dog to hunt in the upcoming months. It is evident they have an undying passion for raising amazing dogs and it shows in how the deal with there customers and the puppies they produce. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful brittany named Remy who does nothing but bring our family joy. John and Ann will forever be a part of our extended family and we are thankful to have found them as our breeder.

Sincerely,
Denise Levesque

Dick and I are just back from a hunt in NH, where Sammie was magnificent. It was a blustery day, but she scented beautifully, pointed, flushed, and retrieved to perfection. On top of that, she is so affectionate and winning that everyone who meets her loves her. She is biddable and outgoing. A difficult combination, and we are simply delighted. At two, she still curls up every night on the "blankie" we brought her home in, hand-knitted and presented with love from John and Ann. We could not be happier.

Tenzing, a J & As Brittany, is 10 months old. He is our 3rd Brittany and is very intelligent, has high energy, is a tremendous tease and a special buddy. We are training in dog agility. All the instructors who have been Tenzing's teachers are extremely impressed with his abilities.
John & Ann brought Tenzing and his siblings up with lots of care and as much training as they could do during the puppies first 8 weeks. They introduced the puppies to lots of noises during their feedings. They helped house break them. They let the puppies climb over and thru blocks, tunnels, and other obstacles. All this training was evident when Tenzing arrived at our house.

John and Ann were so wonderful to work with from the moment we contacted them just to inquire about getting a puppy. They are very selective and take a great deal of care through the whole process of breeding puppies to placing them in new homes. You can tell that they are truly dedicated to bettering the breed. Our puppy, Riley Cone, is everything we hoped for and more. He is not only a great bird dog, but he is also a member of our family. He has a wonderful disposition; he gets along with anyone and everyone. When the time comes for us to get another puppy, we will be going back to J & A's Brittanys because you definitely get what you pay for and their dogs are worth every penny.

We met John & Ann four years ago and have stayed in touch ever since.We attend field trials, Brittany fun days, hunt tests and stop by quite often to see the new litters, John & Ann are not just your average Brittany breeder they've become great friends who we always look forward to seeing. Now that I've become more involved with other Brittany people I realize just how far John & Ann go to make sure their Brittany's are above and beyond any other Brittany and how they make sure their Brittany's are going to be adopted by a family that's going to love and care for them all their lives.

What a fabulous experience we had with J & A's Brittanys about 5 1/2 years ago! Crystal is a family dog, who is lovable, loyal and gentle. She is an absolute beauty...her markings are gorgeous. People stop us all the time to tell us how beautiful she is. John and Ann keep in touch with us, always enjoying updates and pictures on Crystal's life. We also join them every year for Brittany day, which is a great opportunity to meet others who were lucky enough to buy a Brittany from the Shorts. They love what they do...they love the breed and make sure their puppies go to loving homes that are a perfect fit for everyone involved! We are truly blessed that they have come into our lives.

We have been fortunate enough to come across Ann and John(J&As Brittanys), they by far are the best and most reputable breeders we have ever come across-we have two beautiful Brittany girls from their litters(one of them just receiving their NAVDHA prize 1-she turned a year in October 2010, and our other girl will be a year end of January 2011-we expect her to receive her NAVDHA prize 1 this spring) and we will be acquiring one more from them hopefully this Spring. With ease (and from experience) I can say their dogs are every bit what they're suppose to be and could not be taken care of better!

I received my Chrissy a little over a year ago from J & A's Brittanys. She is the most greatest friend! She is so loving and loves to cuddle. She loves the outdoors and is a great hunter! John and Ann were great to work with and very thorough. I would recommend J & A's Brittanys to evryone who wants quality in a breed, but also a best friend!

He wanted a hunter and I wanted a pet. So we did lots of looking before we settled on a pup from John and Ann. Casper is so much more than either of us imagined and has fit right into our "pack". This was her first hunting season and, at age 1, she performed beautifully, outdoing the older two. She's smart as a whip and just completed her Advanced Obedience class. But at home she's a snuggler and has captured my heart.
We've kept track of several of the other pups from her litter and, exceptional as we think our dog is, they're all shining stars. Thanks Ann and John, for all the extra time, training, and love that you've put into these dogs. I would recommend you to any of my friends and we'll be back when we're ready for our next Brittany.

I have a one year old female that I could not be happier with. J & As Brittanys take their responsibilities as breeders very serious. They also went out of the way to help me with the training to make her first year of hunting very sucessful.
