Plum Creek Kennels - South Dakota Epagneul Breton, French Brittany Spaniel Breeders

Our dogs are imported and first generation. Plum Creek is competing and winning internationally, our stud Ultra is a French Champion and Tatoo is a French Recommended Stud. Tatoo, Ultra, and Doc all have their Trialer titles in France.

We have owned, trained and hunted brittanys for over 50 years. We were one of the first kennels to begin importing the Epagneul Bretons (French brittanys) from Europe 20 years ago. We have 22 years experience in the French brittany breed training them, hunting them, breeding them and loving them.

Selective breeding with proven French brittanys of extreme skill and natural ability has resulted in the best French Brittany program in the country. We have spent many years traveling to France and establishing personal relationships, giving us the unique opportunity to select and import the best French brittany blood lines in Europe and establishing the superior lineage and talent our dogs have become known for.

Hunting is a way of life for Plum Creek French Brittanys. We own and operate a wild pheasant hunting lodge in South Dakota, Big Spur Lodge www.bigspur.com so the bar of expectation in the field for our French brittanys is necessarily quite high because our clients expect perfection in our dogs. Please check our website to explore all of our French brittany and Plum Creek info at www.french-brittany.com.

All parents are hip certified.
Breeding gun dogs for the foot hunter, companions for the home.

We are also trainers of all sporting breeds, and uniquely qualified French brittany trainers. We offer monthly training programs as well as individual training seminar packages and day training sessions. See our training website at www.dogpro.net.

Just to let you know,we are thrilled with Quin, she is just over 10 months and you would be proud. Her definition is spectacular! her muscles are very well defined and her agility in the woods is 2nd to none! She gets fed well with the best food I can get and is exercised thoroughly every day. This Pup has found a wonderful home in Michigan's North Woods!

Kathy & Bill, this is a picture of Hana at 16 months pointing quail. She's a natural. Unbelievable nose, is staunch, and will honor. No professional training. Smart ( sometimes too smart) and a joy to have in our life. Many thanks, Jean

Blitz is an unbelievable hunter! I went out last Friday and followed 4 guys with six dogs of all different breeds and they got nothing and Blitz pointed two nice roosters right behind them!!! haha love it when that happens in fact I intentionally will follow someone just to see what Blitz can find that they missed!! its lots of fun!! I will keep in touch!

As one can see Rex has almost completed his training of John & Mary

Rex has done very well to date. Rex locks & holds points. Rex marks & locates down birds even those that have run 40 yards or more from where they landed. Rex swims out and retrieves dummys out of water.

I see by your web site that you had a very successful field trial season Congratulations

Hi Bill & Kathy,

I had the most wonderful weekend of hunting I’ve ever had! Little Mia is an absolutely delightful little dog. The light bulb really went on this weekend! We had a supplier come out for the weekend to hunt. My friends German Shorthair was hurt and couldn’t hunt so we went with Mia without much expectations from an inexperienced not even nine month old puppy. Boy did she ever surprise us! She flushed the very first covey we found and then pointed two singles and retrieved 3 of the 4 birds we got. She got rapidly better after that. She pointed four other coveys and at least 15 singles and was relentless on retrieves and finding wounded birds. She got birds out of places that we never would have gotten them and a bigger dog wouldn’t have either. She is small, at 23 lbs, but she is absolutely relentless on Quail. She also cornered and pointed one pheasant. I could not possibly be happier with this lovely little girl. She is a wonderfully affectionate and devoted pet and has overnite turned into a wonderful hunting partner.

Thanks for your great job of breeding and producing such great dogs!
Happy Holidays,

Dave

Here is a photo of Ranger at 6 mos with a limit of chukar. He has been out 3 times and is doing well. He pointed a covey one day which flushed wild. Last weekend he pointed a single which I got. He's good on Whoa and he is honoring the old dogs points. He is a great dog and doing well.

Hi Kathy:

I wanted to write you to tell me how thankful I am for the puppy you helped me pick out. His registered name is Eli, but he goes by Buster. He came out of your late 2009 breeding between Ranger and Annie, born on December 29. He is a wonderful dog, and I look forward to many years with my good friend. My wife, who was definitely not a dog person, is now madly in love with him.

I took him to a trainer here in R, David Marshall, who works with American Brittanys, and he said he has never seen a french dog with as many good qualities as Buster. Buster and I have been hunting quite a bit this fall and last year, and he continues to develop into a wonderful dog.

Again, thanks so, so much to you and Bill for all of your help, and for putting up with all my questions during the process. All the very best to both of you, and all the best to both of you and your family during the upcoming holidays.

Best,
Anthony Lucci

I can't tell you how much joy our dog has brought me. I just hunted for three days at a friends near redfield and we were licky enough to get 60 wild birds per day for three days in a row. Gus was like a puppy again and made some remarkable retrieves among 9 other dogs we were with. His points are unbelievable as well.

I could go on but I am sure you have heard it all before. Thanks much. Scott

Kathy & Bill,
We adopted Tobey de Plum Creek back in 2002. Tobey is nine years old now, and is the smartest dog we have ever owned.

Hope all is well out your way .

This is the photo I sent out this year as an invitation to my buddies to be ready for bird season....It said : Are you ready for bird season? I'm talkin to you !

You can see from the expression on Ellie's face she means business.....

Pherbie is now going to be 13 on 1/19...and still hunts hard...cant believe it...we did 150 birds in one day, with the three dogs and Pherbie had the last point and retrieve.....she walks the fields with the old guys and wait for someone to go on point........but if there is a bird around she will point......she is still the best retriever of the bunch....kind of a bird hog....

We almost lost her to a lime disease issue but she came back strong.

Tee is nine and is taking over the lead.....But Ellie is putting on a show each time we go out....learning by leaps and bounds....she is a really sweet dog.

Have a great holiday and I will send some action photos soon.

Thanks Tony and Deb
