I purchased two dogs from Thane in September. One was a 15 month started dog and the other an 8 week old puppy. I only had about three weeks to build a relationship with the started dog prior to the first hunt in ND. I could not have been more proud of the started dog. He worked grouse like a pro. I just returned from the Upper Peninsula from a week of woodcock and grouse hunting. Once again the started pup did not disappoint. He was able to work the thick cover close and checked in with me periodically. He retrieved grouse and woodcock to hand. I have a pheasant hunt in eastern MT in November and can’t wait to get my dog “Huck” on some roosters. I have hunted with Brittany’s for a long time. Huck is hands down the best working and family dog I’ve had. I can’t wait to get his half sister going as she is showing the same characteristics as Huck. Thane has an outstanding breeding program at Treasure French Brittany’s and I would highly recommend him if you’re in the market for a fantastic hunting dog and companion. Thanks again Thane!!

We picked Sophie up a year ago from Thane and have had nothing but pure enjoyment from day 1. We had the 2nd pick of the litter and wanted a female. Thane brought out the remaining females in the litter and sat in his backyard and let her choose us. This was our family's first dog and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. She has been easy to train (she's sooooo smart). She had the basic commands down in weeks.

Thane's comment on the day we picked her up was let her be a puppy. She knows how to hunt, but give her time to be a puppy. Great advice.

At 14 months on her first pheasant hunt she pointed 20+ birds. 100% of that skill came from the blood lines. Pretty incredible!

On top of that she's an incredible family dog. Many thanks Thane and Treasure French Brittanys.

We just got our second French Brittany from Thane this spring. We have a three year old female and just added a male pup. The female has the best temperament and personality and the new little guy is looking to be the same! We are so thrilled with these dogs and highly recommend Thane as a breeder. Thane was helpful every step of the way and great with communication. We highly recommend Thane and Treasure French Brittanys!

As a fellow French Brittany breeder I looked into Thayne Wilcox's breeding program leading to purchasing Sioux an orange roan male. I have acquired bloodlines for Sunburst Brittanys my kennel through muliple breeders across the U.S. and European lines. I would recommend Thayne as the top breeder of french brittanys. My Sire Sioux is best suited for chukar country, and hunts accordingly. He is a natural, holds point never busts, he is a stealthy cooperative hunter. His temperament is also among the best I've seen in my days as a breeder, handler, and trainer. Thayne and I work interdependently to gather helping eachother, referring eachother, and sharing the 2 finest kennels bloodlines that breed for the vast western chukar hunting lifestyle. No other breeders of french brittanys understand more how to develop a bird dog for the hardest most challenging upland hunting possible...Thayne has it down pact!

In October 2018, we adopted Bruce, a gorgeous liver, orange and white tricolor. Despite being raised with an Australian Shepherd puppy in a busy house with an 11 year-old boy, he has always been even-keeled and easy to train. We don’t hunt, but it is clear that he would be a natural -- he is very athletic with great scent abilities, long, springy legs and a well-muscled chest. His vertical leap is like a caracal cat! Since he doesn’t hunt, he spends his time running around in tall grass, chasing his “sister” Lolo, agility training -- and lazing around on any willing lap. For pictures, see @lebruce2018 on Instagram. As a bonus, Thane is very knowledgeable about the breed, and willing to help with any questions. We have been very happy with the whole experience.

Coming from a family of die hard bird hunters, Thane took on the challenge of converting us from German wirehaired pointers to these incredible French Brittanys. We have had a number of pups from this kennel and have never been disappointed. For the hunter that needs first, a great family dog and second, a born natural hunter that needs little training, these are the dogs you want. One would think that with their easy going nature that their hunting prowess would suffer, but that is not the case. Thane has a love for these dogs that will lead to his every effort to satisfy and help you to have an enjoyable experience.
GREAT DOGS!
GREAT PEOPLE!

I had to put down a beloved 9 yo French Brittany birddog this past June, and thought I was destined for a compromised dogless bird season this fall. Then I heard about Thane Wilcox and Treasure Kennels. He had a started 1 1/2 yo French Brit female for sale. My fortune began to turn to the good then.

A phone call to Thane turned into a pleasant exchange and an accepted offer. Thane had kept "Ritz" as a potential future breeding female, but decided against this due to an umbilical hernia and an irregular number of teats. Plus he had 2 breeding females already. Thane's youngest daughter protested this decision, as Ritz had become a favorite.

Thane agreed to hold onto Ritz for about a month while I got settled into a new residence and she had hernia surgery and was spayed. He refused to accept a down payment, stating he'd have no trouble finding another buyer if I didn't follow through. I took this a sign of confidence, both for the dog's adoptability and in me.

I drove to La Grande with several hunting friends, one of whom owned a 5yo French Brit from one of Thane's previous litters. Thane took us out into a field to demonstrate Ritz's hunting skill on live birds. This confirmed her prowess and cemented the deal. Thane also generously shared training advice with all 3 of us with bird dog questions.

Ritz has now integrated into her new home for 3 months, and has proven to be a wonderful pet and outstanding bird dog. She has a calm and friendly disposition, is very intelligent, and gets on well with other canines and humans, especially children.

Regarding hunting, she has proven herself a quick study on several pheasant hunts, quickly becoming the best retriever of our pack on "Down Birds". She has a strong drive to hunt, an excellent nose, durability, and trainability. What's not to love about this dog!

I can only express gratitude to Thane and highly recommend him as a breeder and trainer. He is a hunter himself and works to create the best line of bird dogs for himself and those of us lucky enough to get one of his prodigies.

I obtained my French brittany, Walter, from Thane 5 years ago. I have not been disappointed. Wally is the best bird dog I have had. He has a desire to hunt that does not seem to stop. We have hunted hard for up to 5 days at a stretch and he is always ready to go. He loves busting through cattails and consistantly puts up birds . I feel any of Wally's faults are strictly due to my failings as his trainer.

I really like the temperament of the French Brittany. Great loving house dog that gets along well with all the dogs in our hunt group.

I have had four other bird dogs and have never had a breeder more concerned with my satisfaction with my dog as is Thane. He offers training advice and has checked up on my progress over time. He has offered suggestions to help me get the best from my dog. He feels we all deserve not just a good dog, but a great dog. Thane is a breeder who understands the breed, what's makes a great dog and is concerned with the new owner's needs.

I strongly recommend anyone considering getting a french brittany to contact Thane and discuss the breed, as well as getting a great bird dog from him. When Walter retires I will be getting another dog from him.

We couldn't be happier with our new pup from Thane at Treasure French Brittanys. We got a male and he has adapted so well to the daily scene in our life and has really been receptive to training and very eager to learn more. Amazing. Cant wait to get another one soon to be a little brother to Pondo. Thanks again Thane!
