Kellers French Brittanys - Arizona Epagneul Breton, French Brittany Spaniel Breeders

My husband Ron and I would like to Thank Matt for entrusting Gabby to be welcomed into our home and life. She is a 2 1/2 years old spayed female that her owner was accidently killed in Africa.
She was returned to Matt in Arizona by the widow to be rehomed. Gabby came to us crate trained, house broken, hunting trained and she is so intelligent and affectionate. She has been a perfect fit to our life.
Matt was very good at recognizing Gabby's personality would be the perfect fit for Ron and I. We won't hunt her but she loves our fenced yard and all the good smells. She travels great and has already been on great adventures to places like Mt. Rainer and the Northern Oregon coast.
We highly recommend Matt for his knowledge and compassion for the French Brittany Spaniel.

My Beautiful Cricket is 8 this year. Matt let me take a hunter and make her my pet. No formal training and she still works and points when we walk in the desert. She will fetch anything to hand. She has brought me more baby squirrels and bunnys, birds and lizards than I can count over the years, the dog just hunts. She is the sturdiest and healthiest dog I have ever had. She is my bestie! I’m sure she was wasted as a lap dog, but I treasure her. If I ever have another dog I would definitely ask Matt to let me take another of his lovely French Brittany's off his hands!

Well, the day has come. Just picked up my second female from Matt. We have 3 year old Brava and from my other testimonials I am sure Caccia will be spectacular. Matt knows how to breed an amazing bird dog. I will be getting another in 3 more years.

So, forgive me if this is a repeat post, I get lost sometimes where I post. Just wanted to tell you how happy I am with Brava, from Keller kennels in AZ. She had an amazing hunt in N Nevada on wild chukar. One of the days, we found a covey just under some rim rock in the cheatgrass and I managed a triple with one shot and shot 2 more shells at another bird and in all the chaos, we found the triple, but never saw #4 drop. Needless to say we proceeded above the rim rock and hunted along for about 3/4 of a mile. We dropped down under the rim rock and hunted our way back. When we got close to the area of the covey Brava went on point. As I was stepping in, a rabbit bolted at my feet. She stayed rock solid and I continued in and there was an upside down dead chukar in a sagebrush! She did so good! Such a good hunter and not even 3 yet. Sure love her. We had many more encounters, but that was just the most memorable.

I bought Mack this past summer from Matt. When I got to Matt's kennel it was over 90 degrees so we agreed not to hunt Mack on pen raised birds. Matt told me his dog Mack would hunt, point and fetch any gamebird. Matt also told me that Mack would work close and at a comfortable pace for me as I'm 71 years old. Ive been hunting with pointing dogs for 50 years. Matt was correct about Mack, he does it all. I've been "strolling" behind Mack for about 25 days now for grouse and quail and I couldn't ask for a better dog. Matt is a no nonsense French Brittany breeder/trainer and doesn't BS about the quality of his dogs.

I just happened upon Matt one day when I was just searching online. I am an avid hunter from MS who just moved to AZ in June. I reached out to Matt, and he set me up with a well trained 4 month old boy named, Billy. Billy is so sweet and took to our other dog right away. Matt was very accommodating with the whole situation as far as purchasing Billy. He went above and beyond. I recently took Billy on his first dove hunt, and he did awesome for his first hunt. He let me shoot over him and was not scared at all. He retrieved the birds well. Matt did great on this training and Billy has exceeded all of my expectations.

This year I shot over 300 wild quail over Frank and stated doing trials and hunt test with Frank (3 years old) this year. So far he has earned a pass in the UKC Gun trial and a 193 prize 3 in NAVHDA UT test. He got all 4’s on his score except duck search. We will work on that this summer and try again in the fall.

Oh and my older dog Freddy is 13 and still hunt with me!

Matt’s breading as a lot to do with my success in the field and in trials. His dogs have great health and even better drive and the best cooperation I have ever seen.

Frank is my second dog from Matt but 4th in my family. My first dog Freddie earned a NAVHDA UT prize 2 title and AKC Master hunter title along with other local pointings dog club titles. He is now 11 years old and still a demon in the field. This year alone he has over 20 covey finds.

I tell you this about my old dog because my new dog Frank,1.5 years old, is even better. At 9 months old he earned a NAVHDA prize one NA title. I have not trialed him in any events yet but he is going to be special. On his second quail hunt he pointed a few singles and two coveys that was at 9 months old after that it was on! He has always retrieved to hand and even like water retrieves. In his first hunting season he pointed over 15 coveys of quail and countless singles and retrieves. This year he has had over 20 pointed coveys in 4 hunts. Last weekend he pointed 14 coveys of merns quail in a a day and a half. He has also retrieved 15 ducks this season as well! I can’t wait to start trialing him his year he is going to upset some pointer and setter folks!!

Coming from retrievers in my past, I was at a time in my life where I could spend the time with a hunting dog again. I am a big chukar hunter and wanted to go pointing dog. long story short, I came upon the French Brittany and did my research. Matt's dogs came as a recommendation and, we were able to get a puppy from Mack and Zollie and could not be more happy. Her name is Brava and she is just 10mo old. she is great in the house and has been on 3 chukar hunts and pointed birds and retrieved a few with no real instruction. She is super smart and just a joy to be around. Her nose is amazing, her recall is solid and with a bit more exposure to birds I have no doubt she is going to be everything I was looking for. Matt knows how to breed good dogs. she has a great Pedigree and is just a beautiful dog! I will post a yearly review of her hunting season's.
