We are Theresa and Martin Veilleux. (You can call him Marty, if you would like; we pronounce our last name “vuh-lew”.) In 2017, after many years in the business world, our schedules allowed us to own and properly care for a dog. We wanted a breed that was fun, energetic, highly trainable, comfortable outdoors as well as in the house, friendly, moderate in size and did not shed heavily. We decided on Brittanys for all those reasons and more. We also chose to start with two dogs: Rowdy and Coco.

Rowdy was the pick of the male litter from Hope’s Kennel in New Jersey. Three weeks later we selected Coco as pick of the female liver and white litter sired by the legendary field dog NGDC NAGDC FC AFC Peter Gunn from Carter Brittany Kennels in Georgia. Over the next two years we learned how to raise puppies, train fundamentals, run bird dogs in the field, show a dog in conformation events, handle dogs in field trials and hunt tests, train for and compete in agility trials and we dabbled in AKC rally events.

We loved our first two Brittanys so much we added our third, Stella, from KaLa’s Brittanys in Michigan in 2019. Stella has been an awesome addition. She combines the best attributes of Rowdy and Coco plus she is always happy and tons of fun.

We added Buzz, our fourth Brittany, in late 2020. Buzz is Stella’s littermate. He loves to be trained and he thrives on interaction. Stella is his best friend but, for Buzz, nothing beats a run in the woods or a day in the field.
