Excellent Breeder,

Dianne is such a wonderful breeder you can not go wrong with getting a pup from her. She totally over does it. After going over all the paperwork i couldn't even think of one question to ask her. she totally cares for her dogs and puppies. My boy Mr. C has been such good pup. You can really tell she puts a lot of time and care into them. I totally recommend getting a pup from her. The puppy room where they are kept is always clean. I even stopped by since i was in the area and that room was still clean. Dianne will contact you 3 times in the first week just to see how your new family member is doing. I will only get my pups from Dianne. At 10 weeks old he knows his name, come, working on sit, and the word no. And I have had him for a little over a week so there is some basic training that is started before you get your pup.

So if you want a great happy healthy puppy get your from Dianne.
Dianne thank you for such a wonder pup and I will recommend you to others as well.

Dianne is an amazing breeder who really, truly loves her dogs, cares about making appropriate pairings for litters, and takes the time to get to know you! She let me meet all of her dogs, not just the puppies, and we spent a lot of time talking about their bloodlines and temperaments. All of the dogs, puppies included, were very friendly, well-conformed, and truly fantastic examples of the breed.

As several other folks mentioned, Dianne really goes above and beyond with her puppy pack, and the amount of information she gives you about health, training, spay/neuter, etc is truly outstanding. She really wants you to succeed with your pup and gives you so many resources (including herself!) to make sure that happens.

My puppy is only 12 weeks old, but he is already doing extremely well with his training - he knows sit, down, and touch very well already, and he's doing well at learning stay for short periods, watch me, come, and position (which I use to then build heel from). He's definitely one of the quickest-learning dogs I've ever had, and it's fantastic since I really enjoy training and trying new things with my dogs. He's bold and enjoys meeting people and other dogs, and he's definitely a ball of energy at times, but he's also very happy to cuddle up on the couch or spend a lazy morning cuddling in bed. I get comments from everyone we meet about how beautiful, friendly, and smart he is.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dianne to anyone looking for a Brittany puppy. She puts so much thought and care into the pairings of her dogs, the raising of her pups, and the information and resources she gives to their new families. I have no doubt my puppy could go in just about whatever direction of dog sports I wanted to take him - he's very smart, friendly, trainable, and athletic, the best attributes of the breed! He has all of those in spades. If you're looking for a Brittany that can do it all, with the icing on top of Dianne having both liver and tri in her gene pool, definitely consider a Hartland Brittany. You absolutely won't regret it.

Our puppy, Stone, just turned a year a couple of months ago. Like the other people say Dianne was wonderful and caring through the entire process and knew this was more than just a dog to us. She was always there for questions and called to check in for updates. It is our second Brittany, a male, replacing our previous female after her passing. He has never had a bathroom accident of any kind in our home, EVER. We have a bi-level and after a few days he learned to sit at the top step when he wanted to go out. Now he will even come to us and gently nudge us with his head or as a last resort hit us with his paw if we are too slow! Never chewed, etc. He does like clothes but drops them when asked. We do not hunt him but I can see where they would be great and easily trainable. We have gone on long car trips with no problems and he is perfectly fine. He is almost like interacting with a person more than any other breed we have had. He likes to run, water and play and chew with his toys but he also self entertains himself like for example standing on the top step, dropping his ball and then chasing it down doing this over and over again. Very well with other people and animals Only seems to really bark when someone knocks on the door. ANYWAY! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DIANNE. SHE IS MORE THAN JUST A BREEDER.

I met Dianne about 3 yrs ago looking for a Brittany pup. At the time she had no pups available. So we went on her waiting list. Even though we still did look. We are so glad we did made this choice. She is such a wonderful breeder. After talking to her during the whole time and her answering every call and question we had. I actually thought she would hate us. But when the day came to pick out and up our new addition she was there to answer even more questions.
Well i have to say she is one of the most patient caring breeders that i have met. She does go overboard with the care package to the care of her pups. Dianne will have me buying all my Britts from her and her only. My Briitany has been one of the best i could ask for. So if your looking for a Brittany please wait for Dianne's, it was one of my best choices i made. Even though we only wanted her for a family pet but she has a great nose on her. Again Thank you Dianne, for being a great caring breeder and a lot of patience with us.

P.S. Our next Brittany in the near future I promise I will not ask a 1000 questions.

We highly recommend Dianne if your wanting a Brittany. We purchased a puppy from her 5 yrs ago. and she has been the best dog we have ever had in our family. Very smart and lovable. Dianne puts in a lot of care and time with her pups and dogs. She will spend a lot of time with you when picking up your puppy and going over everything from grooming to the vet visits. When the time comes and we are wanting another Brittany we will only go to Dianne. A few things we found out after we got our girl, The puppy care package she gives you is on top of all breeders. Our friends who got puppies never received half the stuff she includes and never got any follow up calls about the pup. Don't hold me to it but if I am not mistaken she called 2-3 times the first week of getting our girl, just to make sure all was going good and (the pup) was adjusting well from leaving the litter. Please don't change anything with your pups

Thank you again Dianne

Dianne is such a great person. I have known her for 11 yrs. from when she got her first and second Brittany pup from me. (I only had 2 litters) She told me if she ever decided to breed Sadie, she would make sure she would improve the lines. Dianne has done a wonderful job in the care, bloodlines, ect. She has produced some great pups. Yes she has improved the bloodlines by 150%. Never thought we would be friends over the love of a Brittany. I now have a 5th generation pup from her. Dianne Will be the only breeder I will go to if I am wanting a Brittany. Even when I just popped over to see my little girl all the pups were clean, her puppy room never smelled bad and it was always clean. She takes great pride in her pups and her adult Brittany's. They are treated like one of your own. All 6 of her babies are spoiled and loved to no end. I tell people all the time if your looking for a Brittany go with Dianne's

I highly recommend Dianne if your wanting a Brittany. She will go out of her way to make sure your happy with your pup. She is in it for life. My friends who have gotten puppies said they never got as much stuff to get you started or anything then i did. most said here is the paperwork hope you enjoy your pup and thank you. Not with Dianne she spends up to 2 hrs going over food, shots, do's and donts. Dianne makes sure you understand everything with your new fur baby. She even calls 24 hrs 3 and 7 days after to check in with you. getting a puppy can be overwhelming. but Dianne makes it easy. I will never go anywhere else if im getting a Brittany. As for our boy he has been such a joy. so sweet and lovable. Thank you Dianne and keep raising nice lovable and healthy pups.

We purchase a Brittany pup from Dianne. Our baby girl has been a pure joy to have in our family. Dianne has always answered any question we have had. She cares enough about her dogs and pups to be there for you forever. Now our girl is 2 i still cant say nothing bad about our fur baby nor the breeder we went through to get our pup. She goes above and beyond. and fully explains everything about the bill of sale (contract) vet visits food toys. after she got done i couldn't think of one question to even ask. she spent about 1.5-2 hours explaining everything to us and gave us a chance to play with our little girl. Thank you for producing such wonderful pups. Keep up the good work in raising great pups. I will and have recommended Dianne for anyone looking for a Brittany pup.

Hi I got one of Dianne's Brittany pups. Dianne has been a wonderful breeder she has answered questions that i have had. Gracie has been and is a great pup. A true Brittany blessing. In the beginning i wasn't sure if a pup was right for me. but Dianne assured me it would get better. The things Dianne told was totally helpful. My Gracie didn't need training. I was the one who needed the training. (hadn't had a pup in 12-14 yrs). Once i figured out what she was wanting everything started to get smooth. I was so glad Dianne was there for me. She told me they will tend to train you and tell you what they want and need and that i wasn't understanding her needs. She was 100% correct. I would never trade her for the world. I just want to say thank you again for being there for me and sharing your help. Also I will only use you for my breeder. Dianne i have gotten so many compliments on her and i truly love everything about the way the whole process went and how you have always been there for me.

Dianne was so great about communicating with me through the entire process. I liked being able to visit with the entire Brittany family and meet Dianne's other dogs. I was given plenty of updates on the pups progress including pictures. I will definitely look to go with Heartland for our future Brittany pups.

I can't say enough great things about Diane. She cares for her dogs and all puppies. The level of detail and care she provides these dogs is above the rest. Have purchased other puppies over the years but Diane clearly enjoys what she does, cares for her dogs, and ensures her puppies are cared for in the finest manner. We are so impressed that we are already committed for a future litter. Great bloodlines and excellent breeder who focuses on the details and spends as much time answering all questions. We pick up our Ellie in 2 weeks. She will be a great family member and field dog.

Thanks Diane!

My daughter and I each purchased a puppy from Dianne(only wanted them for a family companion) They have been the best dogs anyone could ever ask for. We get so many compliments on both. I will always get my Brittany's from Dianne a long as she still breeds. She gives so much more than other breeders and puts a lot of time and loving care into her pups. You cant go wrong from getting a puppy from her. they are spoiled before going to their new homes.

My Brittany Tobias is a beautiful dog. He is just over a year old. His stance, his health, and intelligence are impressive. We are constantly receiving compliments referring to his beauty. Full of energy and true to the breed. He is a hunter at heart and started pointing when we brought him home as a pup. He flushes on instinct with no formal training. He is happiest on our lap or in the woods chasing birds, squirrels, Deer. We have a song for him, "Bird, Bird, Bird. Birds the word. It's by the Trashmen LOL. I believe we could have easily put him in competition. This breeder is easy to work with and cares about her reputation. I will recommend her to friends and family.

I just wanted to say thank you for raising such wonderful Brittany's. I purchased a puppy from Dianne 3 years ago and he has been one of the best dogs I have owned. I only hunted him a few times and in my eyes he is great. could probably use some training but I am not a huge hunter so the 3 times I took him I was pleased with no training. He has been more of a family pet than an hunter ( by my choice) and that was all we really wanted. Dianne will be my only breeder I will use. She goes above and beyond with her dogs and the litters she produces.

Thank you

I got Quigley (formerly Chase) from Diane's first litter. He is an amazing dog. He is very smart, very curious and very sweet. I had never had a Brittany before and now I know I will never be without one of Diane's dogs. We adore Quigley. Thank you so much!

I just have to thank you again for Toby. He is absolutely a beautiful, easily a show/field dog. He's smart, funny, agile, so loving. You keep up the breeding! You do an excellent job!

Dianne,
Just a note from a person who purchased two older brittanys from me.

The second hunt went much better for Hemi. I thought it would take some time, but he really got into it quick once we got into some hens right off the bat in some cattails (can't shoot hens). After that he couldn't wait to get into the thicker cover, something he wasn't doing often on the first trip. I think the hot weather had a lot to do with that too though. The gun shyness went away too, he was having a ball. I probably shoot noisier/heavier loads out of my shotgun than what Hemi was used to, but he got over it now. I couldn't get a decent picture of them posing with the birds, they didn't wanna sit still for that.

So this hunt went as I thought it would when I first started observing these two way back in spring. Hemi does have the better nose and probably will be as good as my last male. He has a ways to go on some things; i.e. leaning how to run down a running rooster in heavy cover, and improve a little on retrieving. He will certainly get there, it just takes time as it always did with my other dogs. I got a few over Riley too, he has a lot of fun and gets very excited when he gets the scent in his nose. He won't be quite as good for that (over excited) reason, but it's always entertaining.

I gotta say, I never had any dogs house trained as well as these two. They really impressed me in the motel both trips. Great great dogs!

I purchased two Brittany pups from Dianne a few years ago. They have been the best Brittany's I have owned. I hunt with both. they have been great in the field and just as great as a family pet. I have gotten a lot of compliments on both. I tell people all the time who I got my Brittany's from when they ask. As long as Dianne is breeding I will only get them from her. You can tell she really cares about her dogs and puppies and puts a lot of time into them.
