The dogs

Two dams and two studs, every one of them hunted, trialed and living in the house. Each has a page with photos, clearances and placements.

Who we are

We have had Brittanys for more than a decade. Our first two, Maggie and the first Tooney, never ran a field trial, but they were tremendous hunters and better company, and they are the reason we fell for this breed’s happy disposition and intense hunting ability.

Today our dogs are bred to excel in upland bird hunting, field trials and hunt tests while staying the most devoted of family companions. We are active members of the Montana Brittany Club, we run our dogs in trials and hunt tests through the year, and there is still nothing like taking the Britts out on opening day.

What we breed for

Health you can check

Our studs are OFA evaluated for hips and elbows and our dams are PennHIP evaluated. The results are printed on each dog’s page, numbers included, so you can judge them yourself.

Birds first

Every dog in our program, dams and studs alike, pointed in puppy stakes and placed as a derby. Sadie and Gracie are being finished for adult stakes; Toby won the Montana Brittany Club’s open all-age stake and Tooney was runner-up at the National Derby Invitational. That is how we know the drive, nose and range are there before we breed.

Dogs you live with

A Brittany is a house dog that happens to be a serious bird dog. We breed for the happy, biddable temperament that makes the breed easy to live with, because the same puppy that hunts Saturday sleeps on somebody’s feet Sunday.

Whitehall, Montana

Our home is in Whitehall, in the Jefferson River valley on Interstate 90 between Butte and Bozeman. The Tobacco Root Mountains stand to the south, and the sage flats and grain fields where our dogs learn their trade start at the edge of town.

That puts us about half an hour from Butte, an hour from Bozeman, and within a day’s drive of much of the West. You are welcome to come meet the dogs, watch them work and see where the puppies are raised; if you are farther away, we will work out the travel. Visitors are welcome from 9 am to 5 pm; a call ahead helps.

We run our dogs with the Montana Brittany Club, which holds AKC-licensed field trials in the state each year, and we hunt them every fall on Montana’s wild upland birds. Our dogs see wild birds, wind and winter before they ever meet a judge.

Questions we get asked

Do you have Brittany puppies available right now?

Our most recent litter, Tooney out of Gracie, arrived in June 2026. Availability changes quickly, so the honest answer is to call or send the puppy questionnaire and we will tell you where things stand and when the next litter is planned.

Are your dogs American Brittanys or French Brittanys?

American Brittanys, registered with the AKC and run in AKC field trials. The French Brittany (Epagneul Breton) is a separate registry and standard, generally a little smaller and closer-working. Both make fine gun dogs; ours are bred for the range and style the American trials reward, with the temperament to live in the house.

What health testing do you do?

Our stud dogs have OFA hip and elbow evaluations (Toby and Tooney are both OFA Good hips, Normal elbows). Our females have PennHIP hip evaluations, and we publish the actual distraction indexes on each dog's page rather than a summary word.

Will a field-trial Brittany settle down as a family dog?

Yes, with exercise. A Brittany bred to run needs a real job or a real walk most days; give it that and you get a soft, affectionate, people-oriented dog in the evening. Ours spend as much time on the couch as in the field, as the gallery shows.

Do you sell puppies outside Montana?

Yes, anywhere. Our puppies go to the right homes wherever those homes are, and we are glad to work out travel for buyers who cannot drive in. Whitehall sits on I-90 between Butte and Bozeman, so if you are within reach you are welcome to come meet the parents before you decide.

Do you offer stud service?

Both Toby and Tooney stand to approved females. Tell us about your female, her clearances and what you are breeding for, and we will talk through whether one of our dogs is the right match.

Ready to talk Brittanys?

The puppy questionnaire is how we start every placement. For stud service or anything else, call or write.
