About Wild Mtn Brittanys

 Welcome to Wild Mtn Kennels, home of the dual bred Brittany. It is our belief that the Brittany should be sound of body and mind. The Brittany should be a strong and dedicated hunter as well as a devoted family companion. We strive to produce a dog that is as at home by the fire, has he would be spending a day in the field then washing up and heading off to a dog show to strut his stuff.

Wild Mtn Farm is pleased to offer gun dog training for all levels.  Whether you wish to come out on a scheduled basis with your new puppy and work together with Brian or if you wish to have your dog stay with us for full breaking and training we will work with you.  We offer programs to fit any need.  We have reasonable flat rates for both puppies as well as older dogs and there are never any hidden expenses or handling fees tacked on at the end of the month.  Dogs will be accepted for both companion hunt training as well as campaigning in field trial and hunt test venues.  Space is very limited as we are accepting ONLY 16 dogs at a time to ensure that we are able to provide each dog our full attention.  We believe STRONGLY that it should not be necessary to beat our string of contenders before it is possible to beat the competition. By limiting the amount of competition dogs we accept for campaigning, we up the odds of success for every dog on our string.

I met Helen because of her dog Jade. At the time Jade was bred all of her pups were sold. Helen gave up her puppy to make sure I got a female pup. She has followed up via email and telephone to see how we both are doing. She will be available for advice on trialing, training, the show ring, health, nutrition, and all aspects of brittany puppy raising. I believe I have a solid, well rounded, good looking bird dog companion.

I "met" Helen and Brian quite by accident several years ago while researching a pedigree on a Brittany puppy. Little did I know when I shipped off that first e-mail full of questions that I had happened across such true dog people and such great friends.

I have owned Brittanys exclusively for many years, and without hesitation highly recommend Helen and Brian as breeders, trainers and handlers. They have a terrific program, with a wide range of expertise in developing and handling the family pet, the working bird dog partner, the show ring and the field trial competitor. And with equal dedication, they work tirelessly in teaching their clients; no question is too silly, no problem too minor. I live halfway across the country from Wild Mtn, and the Riggles have spent countless hours via phone helping me with my dogs on many levels.

Most importantly, Brian and Helen love what they do, and they nurture your dog as if it were their own. Just plain good folks....and dog people to boot!

Good knowledgeable Brittany folks...have found Brian to be a kind and gentle field trainer that gets good results from plenty of positive reinforcement. Very good at starting a young dog or finishing a competition dog.

Highly recommended and will use their services again!

I can't say enough about Helen & Brian's committment to the breed, their dogs, and their business. I have not purchased any dogs from them yet, but have experienced the great generosity and passion they possess when I was having health and training issues with my 3 year old female. They took the time to e-mail me, and even call me in Seattle, WA, when I was away on business. I had received a frightening phone call from my wife indicating my little girl was very sick. I was probably on the phone for close to 40 minutes with Helen, where she took time from her busy schedule to calm me down, assess the issue at hand, and advise me with her experience. Being a new dog owner, I felt blessed to have come across such a giving human being. I know, at any time, I can give these great people a call, and they will be there for me. They are like pet Godparents in my mind, and this is a priceless asset to have. Keep up the great work Helen & Brian.

I bought an adult female Brittany, age 3 1/2, from Helen and Brian and could not be happier with my dog, Sadee. Sadee came to me ready to hunt before clients and within 30 days she was the favoite of all the guides. She is a dream to handle in the field and has the best nose in the kennel. Sadee delivered a litter of 6 healthy pups this past April all by herself and was an excellent mom. The trainers expect those pups to be ready for the field by January at just 9 months---born hunters possessing the best dispositions you could hope for in working dogs. I would not hesitate to buy a dog for Brian and Helen or to have them train a dog for me.

On New Years Day 2008 Wild Mtn.Brittany's open their home to let us take a look at some puppies. We fell in love with a beautiful liver and white male brittany who was 16 weeks old. Not only did we get a great, healthy dog with sooo much natural instinct. We also got 2 new friends in Helen and Brian. They are so packed with information and are always open to sharing that info with you. Fortunately for us, they are close enough and kind enough to have Charlie stay with them when we travel. I wouldn't leave him with anyone else!!! Keep up the great work!

It's a pleasure to business with Helen and Brian. We purchased our latest brittany from them, a liver and white female and could not be more pleased with the process. Jody, our new puppy is a tremendous dog and a joy for our family. Jody is
6 months and will join me in the hills of Virginia
hunting grouse.

Can't say enough good things about Helen, Brian and their Wild Mountain Brittanys. We had the great fortune to get a puppy from Helen and Brian in the fall of 2007. Our now 2 year old "Freddy" (Son of Jeb) has been the perfect house dog and an amazing hunting companion. Fred and my son recently one the Hunters Creek Upland Gun Dog Championship in Metamora Michigan.

When I purchased my Brittany, Chance (Ch. Triumphant's The Heat IS On, JH), it was with the intention of showing him. After the fun of his winning numerous Best of Breeds, incluing the 2008 ABC Summer Specialty, I decided to give Chance an opportunity to pursue his DC. With a recommendation from his breeder, I contacted Helen and Brian and asked them if they would be willing to evaluate Chance for me. Last spring we agreed that Chance had enough potential to have Brian break him over the summer and then see what he could do in the fall trials. I am very pleased with all the progress Chance made with Brian this fall, especially his first adult placement (3rd out of 30 starters in Open Gun Dog)! Helen has been fantastic about sending pictures and providing updates on Chance's progress. Thank you Brian and Helen for all your hard work with Chance this past year and Good Luck with him at the National!

My male brittanys Maverick has just come home from the end of his 3rd season out with Brian and Helen Riggle being field trialed. We could not be happier, we are just 2 points away from his FC!!
I have seen his run mature before my eyes and he has become the trial dog I knew he could be and a dog that I enjoy watching perform out there. His performance week to week is much more consistant and when home and in the woods looking for grouse he is truely a pleasure to hunt over.
Thank you for all the work you have done with Maverick, we truly appreciate it and can see you love your work and the dogs you work with.
Regards,

Andre Coulombe
