Dan,
I just figured I would shoot you a quick e-mail about Ellie. We have found time to do a little duck hunting, and also some grouse and woodcock hunting. Ellie is really in her element grouse hunting; she really hunts hard. We only ended up with a few woodcock in the bag but saw quite a few grouse. There was still a lot of foliage left on the trees making it tough to shoot. I was hunting her with another fellow's GSP. Ellie went on point and the other dog came around and backed beautifully. Both dogs were completely steady and Ellie retrieved the shot woodcock to hand. It was very rewarding to see a lot of our training pay off while hunting. We only got a couple of wood ducks in the early season. Ellie hesitated a little on grabbing the duck but ended up making a nice retrieve.

Hi Dan,
Riley traveled perfectly in his crate and on my lap. He has been an absolute joy to have and is extremely athletic, fearless and curious. He's very responsive to us and is a lot of fun. Flint, our 6 year old dog, is not quite sure what to make of him, but things are fine outdoors. When Riley stops jumping on him when he's sleeping and running doughnuts around Flint's bed, things will be as fine indoors. Our 16 year old cat who is still larger than the puppy has accepted him, lets him lick his ears and puts him in his place when he's too wild. Everyone who seems him loves him and thinks he's adorable, and indeed he is. He's quiet through the night, which is pretty great for such a young guy.

Our daughters came for the weekend to meet him, bringing 3 of the grandkids and they enjoyed him thoroughly and vice versa.

I will be sending pictures later.

Regards,
Elaine

Dan,
Sweet Ollie has lived up to her name. She has certainly become part of the Taylor family. She lives with Otis, a 5 year old 110 lb. puppy, a 3 1/2 year old boy and 4 adults. We weighed her yesterday and she is 16 lbs. She runs like the wind and David, the three year old, says she can fly when she jumps on our couch or chair. As of this week-end she is 99% potty trained. Her biggest problem is to stop playing in time to tell us she needs to go out. She is a cuddler on the couch and still takes several naps during the day. We are all very pleased with her sweet personality. Even though she is still a puppy, she has been great meeting new dogs and other people. We'll send more pictures when she gets a little bigger.

Dan,
Ensclosed are a few pictures of Gunther. He's all boy. Smart. Headstrong but he minds and picks things up fast. Still loves to be held or sit in my lap and he's getting big for that. The vet was very impressed with his legs, feet, bone structure and general well-being. "He's going to be a powerful boy."

Will stay in touch!

Thought I would send you some pictures of Fergie at 4 months. She is such a smart pup. We've trained her to ring a bell to let us know when she needs to go outside. She behaves well in the house and she sleeps all night in her crate without a sound.

Although it's been hot here in the afternoon, we take her out and walk about an hour every evening and about a half hour in the morning. She has jumped several rabbits and flushed a couple of wild quail. She loves for me to get out the quail wing. She really likes the water and retrieves whatever I throw in the pond. She also dove out of the canoe the first time I took her for a ride. She doesn't meet a stranger and attracts attention wherever we go. We haven't had her around very many other dogs yet, but she gets her last puppy shots on Monday and Nan is taking her to obedience school starting Monday afternoon. She should get to meet a lot of other dogs there. Also, she loves to chase lightning bugs and bees and has been stung once.

I'd like to plant some pen-raised quail for her soon. I want to wait til it cools off some.

Dan,
Five years ago, I purchased my first French Brittany from your kennel: Utopie Du Parler "Grace." She is an exceptional companion and hunter. She moves with style and class, and her determination to find birds is endless. Grace has an excellent nose and smells birds at greater distances than my other dogs. She has hunted wild quail in North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Kansas and wild pheasants, Hungarian partridge and sharp tail grouse in South Dakota.
I am pleased with my decision to purchase Grace and would highly recommend Parler's French Brittanys.
Thanks,
Howard Revels

Dan,
Thank you for the opportunity to share Chance's attributes. Not only is he easily trained, he exhibits natural retrieving instincts. Chance is only 9 months old and has proven a great desire to hunt, a good nose, and willingness to please. He is a terrific companion in the field as well as the house and is wonderful with our children. It was a joy to meet you and Beth. Your commitment to quality is proven in your animals and kennel. We look forward to keeping in contact for years to come and for future dogs.

Dan,
Tonka Talon du Terre du Parler is a fine hunter, pointing dog, and retriever. He is also an excellent companion, is willingly obedient, and intelligent to a fault. He is responsisble for bringing in the morning newspaper and securing the grandchildren's stuffed toys. He is an accomplished quail, ruffed grouse and pheasant hunter. His temperament, stamina, and intelligence are excellent.

After 30 years of owning Irish Setters my wife and I decided to look for a smaller dog. We researched many differeent breeds for our new family member and decided on a French Brittany Spaniel because of size, temperament, intelligence and overall characteristics of the breed.

The next challenge was to select a breeder. After searching the internet all over the US we decided on Parler's French Brittanys kennel in St. Stephen, SC. On our first visit to the Parler's, we noted the quality of the Spaniels, well kept kennels and a family that loved their dogs. My wife was smitten by Bud (Vulcan du Hyalite), so we decided to get a black and white male from Bud and Prissy's (Unie De La Savane Rouge Ondulante) litter.

Brandy (Chachou du Parler) has been more than we expected from a French Brittany Spaniel. He was easy to train, very well behaved, enjoys poeple and other dogs and most of all is a lover. Our experience in selecting a new breeder and family pet could not have been better. We strongly recommend the Parler's for your next Brittany.

Dan,
I can't tell you how happy I am with Cap's demeanor as a pet and his strong bird drive. I just got him back from Wynfield Plantation in South Ga. where he has been in training for three months. The trainer at Wynfield said that Cap's hunting abilities at nine months old are more like a two year old bird dog. He has a great nose and is already backing, steady to wing and steady to gun. I couldn't be happier.
Warm personal regards,
Tom Morgan

Hello, Dan,
Batiste Du Parler "Sydney" was born on 04/18/06. The sire is Bud and the dam is Annie. Sydney has exceeded my expections! I knew she would be a great hunting dog. The last day of pheasant season, Jan. 4th, Sydney pointed six birds. She always finds birds. She has a fantastic temperament and is great with children.

Sydney is now pregnant with her first litter due on 02/09/2009. Dan, it has been a pleasure working with you.

Wishing you the very best!

Dan,
Here is a picture from a successful day of hunting with Abigail on our family farm. She is a great hunting companion. I have hunted quail, chukar, and woodcock over her and she points and holds like a seasoned veteran. I have even taken her duck hunting and she has retrieved a few wood ducks. I love her so much and I could not have gotten her from better people. Thanks and I look forward to hearing news on your next litter.

Hi Dan,
I just thought I should write a short note on the puppy. She and her "sister" are doing great. I don't think our household could survive with just one dog. They play from dawn to dark every day. The weather doesn't seem to bother them. I started them both in basic obedience last month. Estee is the one I purchased in Illinois, and Mattee is the puppy I purchased from you. This last week we went to a trainer to have them evaluated. It looks like Mattee is going to the hunter out of the two. After working her, he said "This is the kind of dog that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck, and I cannot wait to get her in the field." He says she has the drive and disposition. She is a joy. I have given several people your website because they have asked me about puppies. I will keep you posted on how she is doing.
Thanks again,
Dan Callahan March 20, 2008

Our experience with Parler's French Brittanys has been nothing short of wonderful. The greatness of Parler's doesn't begin and end with their amazing dogs. Dan and Beth are terrific people who truly love each of the puppies they sell, and it shows. They have shared their knowledge and experience with us to help guide us with our training. With that said, make no mistake these dogs will surpass all of your expections. The natural ability of our pup as a hunter along with her intelligence has shined brightly from day one, and even with all the love we give our pup, she manages to return it tenfold. I never knew such dogs existed, and from here on out I'll never forget. Thanks again Dan and Beth for our wonderful pup and all your help.

Dan,
This is Skye at 8 months. I had worked her in the field behind my house but this was her first time with live birds. She ran just past the quail, then locked down and turned in the wind with a beautiful point. She held the point until I flushed the bird. I shot it and she retrieved. Eight months and her first quail and she was almost flawless! I had her on a check cord but didn't have to use it on any of her several points that day. As a bonus, my family loves her and insists that I hunt her regularly. There is no question what my next dog will be and from where. A French Brittany is perfect for me and I won't even consider another breeder.
Thanks again,

Just a note to update you on the pup that Ted and I bought from you in June. We worked him on quail in September. We took him to Michigan the middle of October along with Ted's older dog. He was less than 6 months old. By the 3rd day in Michigan we were amazed at how well he was doing and how fast he learned. We moved between 40 and 50 birds all three days (well over 100). About 60 percent woodcock and the rest grouse.

He was finding and holding his own birds independent of the older dog. He was more interested in finding birds than trying to play with the other dog. Amazing!. I told Ted that the only problem was that if we told anyone how well he was doing at less than 6 months no one would believe us. The area we hunted still held a lot of leaves and was very thick so we didn't kill a lot of birds. We killed enough to watch him retrieve both woodcock and grouse. He never saw a bird until we flushed it, he was always pointing scent, just like we worked him on the quail. If he continues to learn at this pace he will be a great DOG!

I can't say enough about how well he has started.

Thanks,
Rod Canterbury

Hello Dan,
Just wanted to give you an update on Delilah. Here's a picture taken tonight of her in her "day" bed. Her night bed is the same one my wife and I sleep in.

She's an amazing puppy, great temperment, sweet, smart, an absolute pleasure. I've raised a lot of puppies: labs, goldens, pointers, setters, german wirehair, poodles. She is the best dog I have ever been around in my life.

Thanks for letting us have her. I want another, let me know when!

Sincerely,
Richard Hall
