At Carter Brittany Kennels, our passion for the Brittany breed is deeply rooted, extending from our status as a veterinarian-owned establishment to our prestigious American Kennel Club (AKC) Breeder of Merit achievement. Our commitment to the breed’s advancement is exemplified by Jim’s active roles, including past service as 4th Vice President of the American Brittany Club and his current position as President of the Georgia Chapter of the American Brittany Club. This dedication has led to the development of numerous nationally recognized dogs, including the historic achievement of NGDC NAGDC FC AFC Peter Gunn, the first Brittany in breed history to earn the American Brittany Club’s National Gun Dog Championship, National Amateur Gun Dog Championship, the National Magnum’s Masked Man Award, and the National Shooting Dog of the Year award.
Our breeding program is meticulously designed with the aspiration of producing the next National Champion and to continuously fuel our drive for AKC field competitions. The joy of working, training, and competing with our dogs as a family is a cornerstone of our kennel. We invest significant effort to maintain a competitive edge at the national level, consistently producing dogs recognized for their achievements, including multiple National Awards, Best of Breed Winners, AKC Field Champions, AKC Amateur Field Champions, American Field Champions, NSTRA Champions, AKC Dual Champions, and AKC Conformation Champions. As a veterinarian-owned kennel, our dogs are cherished as family members first and foremost, receiving premium, professional veterinary care and residing in an exceptional, professionally maintained living environment.
We firmly believe that our comprehensive early socialization program distinguishes our puppies, ensuring they are highly adaptable and a pleasure for their future owners. Our adult dogs are consistently sired by National Champions and/or Brittany Hall of Fame inductees. We selectively retain only the finest puppies from our two decades of breeding to uphold our kennel’s national competitiveness and to guarantee the intelligence, sensibility, and trainability of our puppies. A Carter Brittany quality puppy, raised under our rigorous care standards and expertly socialized, offers an experience that surpasses veterinary expectations and can exclusively be found at Carter Brittany Kennels. We are proud to be among the few kennels in the nation to have achieved a perfect score on every annual AKC inspection for the past decade. Our 26-acre property, equipped with an underground fence, allows our adult dogs the freedom to exercise and thrive daily. From the moment of birth, our puppies receive dedicated, hand-reared socialization, a commitment we uphold daily to ensure they are happy, healthy, well-adjusted, and prepared for their forever homes. The quality of life and socialization during the critical first six weeks profoundly shapes the adult dog your puppy will become. Furthermore, our sires and dams undergo thorough health testing before breeding to ensure we are doing everything possible to produce robust, healthy puppies destined for long, happy lives with their families. Brittanys are a breed of remarkable diversity, and after experiencing the exceptional intelligence, profound sensibility, and high trainability of our puppies, you will undoubtedly appreciate the distinction of welcoming a Carter Brittany into your life. Our carefully orchestrated and highly successful breeding program is renowned and respected nationwide. Regarding the quality of our adult dogs, we are unwavering in our belief that life is too short for mediocrity; our focus remains steadfastly on champions. By retaining the very best, we lay the foundation for our program’s quality and our continued success in competitive field events.
We extend our sincere gratitude for your interest in our dogs and puppies and for taking the time to explore our website. We hope your appreciation for this versatile breed deepens as ours has, for they are truly an absolute joy and pleasure to own. While you cannot choose your human family members, you absolutely can choose the canine companion who will become an integral part of your family and life for many years to come. Never settle for less than the best.
