A message from John & Ann Short:
We are a retired couple who love God, each other, family, friends, and Brittany dogs! We acquired our first Brittany in 1986 when our children were very young. We bred our first beautiful litter of Brittany pups in 1990. The beautiful and fun loving Brittany has been a part of our adult life for 26 years as well loved members of our family, a family that enjoys hunting.
Our children are now adults with families of their own so we enjoy sharing our love of these dogs with our grandchildren and providing opportunities for them to discover how much fun bird hunting with a Brittany can be.
We are proud to be recognized by the American Kennel Club as "AKC Beeders of Merit" our Brittanys are influenced by the great bloodlines behind them. This includes numerous, recognizeable multi winning national field and show champions, NAVHDA and AKC titled hunting Brittanys, Hall of Fame Brittanys, and Dual Champions. Brittanys from our program do have notable accomplishments of their own. This includes significant wins, placements, and/or titles in AKC Hunting Tests, NAVHDA Hunt Tests, AKC Field Trials, Flyball, and AKC Bench Conformation. Even so, we believe the most notable success of J & A's Brittanys is best identified through the eyes of each individual owner. |

We're pleased to pass along the wonderful, proven working heritage of well bred, intelligent, vigorous, and enthusiastic, loving Brittanys. It's fun to go afield with them where their abilities really shine!. Our Brittanys come from parents, grandparents, and great grandparents that hunt and often with each other! Our entire lifestyle reflects our dedication and commitment to our Brittany dogs. The relationship we share with them is built on a cornerstone of mutual love, respect, and trust. To us, it's all for the love of the dog, both given and received.
The breeding program here at J & A's Brittanys is purpose driven and spans several generations. It emphasizes the field attributes of a close working gun dog, a dog that will naturally work within shot gun range for their handler without being 'boot lickers'. Our Brittanys possess a strong drive and desire to search for wild birds but without leaving the county. They easily exceed the desired expectations of the bird hunter who enjoys a day long hunt with their best friend. Many of the Brittanys we have bred are natural retrievers and will often honor the point of another dog in the field with little training.
We fully support the concept of the Brittany as a dual purpose dog of medium-size, leggy, correct conformation, size, structure, and easy to care for coat. In regards to their appearance little can compare to the beauty of a Brittany aglow in the field, radiating with natural hunting ability. To witness this is to observe a glorious sight. To hunt with such a beautiful hunting dog is pure joy!
Ultimately, we created this site to showcase the beautiful Brittanys we so deeply love and that share our heart, home, and life with us. Created with ease of navigation in mind, it is designed so that you may enjoy it at your leisure. The ATB Gateway will introduce you to our beautiful dogs in a variety of ways. The Information Gateway will help you get to know more about us. There is also a link to Ann's blog. If you have any questions or would like to know more, we'd be happy to hear from you.
Take care and God bless!

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19 - 21  |
