R J Brittanys

R J KENNELS at QUAIL RUN RANCH
Dual Quality American Brittanys For Competition, Hunting & Companionship

ABOUT R J KENNELS
At the toe of the Sierra Foothills, the Mother Lode Country of Northern California, between Sacramento and Auburn, our kennels are located on 20 acres of historic farmlands, now training grounds for our Brittanys. With two ponds, a creek and plenty of natural pheasants and quail, even the puppies have ample opportunities to test their pointing dog instincts. Large play yards, including an agility course - the ranch house and the fields are part of each Brittany's day. We currently have thirteen Brits - seven males and six females - ranging in ages from 7 months to almost 15 years. Each has its own "job" whether it is as our hunting companion, a show dog, a field trial or hunt test dog, or being a Mom! We welcome visits to the kennels by appointment. With regards to our breeding program, puppies are available once...sometimes twice a year. We offer stud service to approved bitches only, with chilled or frozen semen available as well as natural breedings here at the kennels. You are invited to refer to the following pages for more information about our Brittanys. UNTITLED PHOTOS: Top Photo: Master Hunter RJ's First Edition, "Kipper", at Quail Run Ranch.

ABOUT THE BREED
The Brittany is a medium sized, upland game bird pointing dog that stands between 17 1/2 and 20 1/2 at the shoulder and weighs 30 to 40 pounds when fully grown. A true sporting dog, the Brittany is biddable and adaptable, making it an ideal companion as well as hunter. The Brittany is energetic, athletic, intelligent and affectionate. We find the Brittany to be easily and quickly trained using positive reinforcement, especially when generous amounts of excercise and socializing are provided. A bored Brittany is a naughty Brittany!!
