Thank you Eric for a beautful puppy. We call her Remi. You have been very helpful through the process of looking for her. Choosing a puppy is not so easy. We appreciate you communicating with us by phone and e-mails. Remi has already shown us that she will make a nice bird dog. She is running off ATVs,has an awesome nose and really enjoys going to field trials to search out quail and anything else that moves. Thank you Eric. Joanne and John

I got my puppy from Eric in July of 2012 he was very upfront and responded to all my questions and continues to answer training questions that I have about my puppy. I entered him in his first hunt test in Febuary and got his first pass on the JH leg. Highly recommend Eric.

I am the proud owner of "Cooper" our 2&1/2 month old Brittany puppy from Smokingun kennels. Eric & Smokingun kennels is definitely a 5 star operation! I was looking for an intelligent, healthy, well bred Brittany with a strong hunting pedigree and researched many different breeders before choosing Smokin gun kennels. Eric made selecting a pup so simple, with his honest feedbacks & pictures of the pups. I was nervous about shipping a pup to Calif. but Eric handled everything very smoothly. I have owned a Brittany in the past but this pup is the smartest, a quick learner & very birdy by far. He already will stock a quail wing and set a point. That demostrates a great hunting bloodline. I would highly recommend Eric & his Brittany's. I am looking forward to many years of hunting with Cooper.

When we went in search of a dog that could be both a hunter and a companion animal that is also friendly to the many visitors that we have on our farm, we visited with several breeders and trainers who worked with Brittanys. We ended up finding Eric and Smokinggun Brittanys and couldn't be more pleased. "Ada" is a female pup, welped in May 2012, from a cross of Smoke's Confederate Bullet and Smoke's Little Flicker. She's extremely bright, easy to train as far as manners as a companion dog, and she's amazing to watch in the field. We could not ask for more drive - she'll do it all, from scenting to retrieving, with quail (her favorite!) and grouse. She's even been in the duck blind several times this year and, with a little drag work with a duck at home, she'll do as many icy water retrieves for ducks as you allow.

She'll also go for miles with me on horseback. In fact, just this week, she "heeled" behind my horse on a training ride (I competitively endurance race) for about 5 miles before enjoying a bone and a rest in her crate while I logged another 10 with the horse.

We're looking forward to formal training with Ada - and many years of fun with her in the hunting fields and blinds, on the farm, and just around home as a big pet. I gladly recommend Eric as a breeder - pick the litter, not the pup. You'll get a good pup from him.

Our pup, Tucker will be a year old this December! We got him February 2012 and he has been such a joy in our lives. Eric is to thank for this wonderful addition. I got Tucker as a surprise for my husband and Eric was so helpful and honest throughout the entire process which meant a lot. When Tucker got sick just a week after bringing him home Eric stayed in touch with lot of advice that the doctors didn’t even seem to have. Eric thank you so much for all you have done. We are considering adding to our pet family soon and would not consider working with any other breeder, you are AWESOME!

Eric was very helpful during the process of acquiring our pup in Oct. He was eager to help us out in anyway he could; emailing pics, pedigrees, updates, and most importantly his honest opinions... He also routinely checks up on "Bernie" since we acquired him. Our pup has a TON of drive, brains, energy,and is very birdy... he lives to retrieve and ambush anything he can in the woods. We couldnt be more pleased. His dogs were all very friendly and beautiful, and his kennel was very clean. He provided details instructions on vet appointments, training, AKC papers, etc... I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking looking for a hard hunting, good looking Brittany.

We purchased Rosie in April 2012. Instantly we saw her potential as she displayed her natural ability to hunt. She has a keen nose and at 12 weeks showed us how she could find and point both quails and pigeons using it. She is very intelligent and has a perfect confirmation for working in the field. Having raised several litters of Brittanys over the years, we understand the work involved. Eric kept us well informed from the day the puppies arrived, sending pictures and updates regularly. He took time to understand what our goals were with our new puppy so he could help us choose the right one. He is very knowledgeable and cares about the dogs he has and the ones he is producing. Rosie is a wonderful addition to our kennel. We would definitely purchase another puppy from Eric and would recommend his kennel, Smokingun Brittanys, to anyone.

We purchased two brittany female puppies in February of this year. They are wonderful puppies and we have enjoyed having them as part of our family. They have great markings, are well mannered and are quick to learn. Eric is very knowledgable and his kennel provides outstanding puppies. We highly recommend Eric and are so thankful for all he has done.

Thank you Eric for the wonderful experience of owning two Smokingun Brittanys. At five months old, we recognize that these dogs are extremely intelligent and very friendly. Our neighbors and friends enjoy our dogs as much as we do. These two pups are energetic, yet very composed and can be left unattended in the house without disturbing anything or having an accident for several hours. We are looking forward to field training in the near future. Smokingun Brittanys are a welcome addition to the Miller households in Fayetteville and Durham.
