We acquired our first Espagnuel Breton -'Gus' in 1997.� He became an�excellent hunter and loyal companion.� Our sister and brother-in-law acquired 'Monique'�and that breeding led to our female 'Ruby'.� Our dogs have hunted pheasants, sharptails, quail, chukkars, mountain grouse, sage hens, and waterfowl!� We believe French Brittany's are an outstanding breed of hunters;� They are fun, energetic, loyal members of our family.�
Update - June 2009
We have two additional Espagnuel Breton family members.� Andy is Ruby's (and Topperlyn Kennels's D'Art) pup born 6/12/2008.� He is a gentle, yet energetic dog.� Andy hunts well, handles easily, and LOVES the water!� We look forward to his first 'real' season of hunting.
Josie�(1/29/2009)�is our new female pup, acquired from Galena Kennels (Tom McGowan, Reno, NV).� She is a beautiful liver-orange-white tri-color.� She immediately established herself as 'one of the gang'.� Josie appears to have quite�a 'nose' which she uses all the time.� No doubt she will become an outstanding hunter.
Future plans include a breeding with Andy and Josie once they are OFA certified.� We expect our next litter of pups will be sometime in 2011.�
Update August 2, 2011
Both of our breeding dogs (Andy and Josie) are OFA certified.�
Josie has suddenly become the 'queen' of pointing dogs� - her natural instincts have kicked in, and we're extremely pleased to see her stalking and pointing the birds in our yard.� Only 4 more weeks till bird season Josie and Andy!
Update September 15, 2011
Josie has been bred to Andy - if she is pregnant, pups will be due Oct. 29.� We will have her vet-checked soon.�
Meanwhile, Josie had a successful opening day of bird season - she retrieved her first sage hen this month!
