Carter Brittany Kennels is located in the heart of South Georgia with emphasis placed on training for and competing with our Brittanys in field trials and continuing the tradition and pleasure of fine hunting dogs.  We are located on 26 acres that our dogs have free range of during the day. At Carter Brittany Kennels we selectively breed our dogs for the betterment of the breed in hopes of producing champions. Our Brittany puppies are all very highly bred as we place the utmost importance on quality.  All litters are champion sired with National caliber champion bloodlines and are carefully planned in order to enhance and amplify the qualities that we find desirable in a hunting dog. We expect all of our puppies to be natural, instinctive hunters that have an ultra keen nose with excellent stamina and exhibit superior ground coverage. They are also expected to be highly intelligent with a classic conformation, intensely stylish with a strong bird drive in addition to being loving companions and family pets. 

ABOUT US:  In brief, Carter Brittany Kennels is built upon the love of dogs and horses by licensed, practicing veterinarian Dr. Jim Carter and wife, Drew with the addition of son, Caden. When we were first married, Jim was an avid quail hunter and would spend every weekend hunting on local farms.  We wanted to get involved in an activity that we both would enjoy but we didn't quite know if there was a hobby that could combine my love of horses with Jim's love of fine hunting dogs.  We began researching NSTRA (National Shoot to Retrieve Association) trials and attended our first NSTRA trial in 2004.  We placed 1st with AFC Bullet's Renegade Miss Megan at one of the first couple of trials we attended and Jim was hooked.  NSTRA wasn't very interesting for me though since I didn't have a dog that I could run so there was nothing for me to do other than watch the events of the trial from a chair.   

We bred Megan in 2004 to NAFC/FC/AFC Walkers Gunner.  We kept 3 of the puppies and began participating with the puppies in the fall of 2005 at AKC Brittany Club trials which allow both handlers and scouts as well as the gallery to ride horseback.  We easily became hooked on horseback field trials and in the preparation of our dogs for competition as a family sport and hobby. 

Carter Brittany Kennels is ever growing and expanding.  Jim is a licensed AKC registered Field Trial Judge and has been elected as the 4th Vice President of the American Brittany Club as well as being elected to serve as Vice President of the Georgia Brittany Club.  In addition, we are members of NSTRA.   We compete in every trial we have the opportunity to attend throughout the south.   We also do the vast majority of our  own training which makes us extremely proud of our dog's accomplishments.  We would also like to thank Eukanuba Dog Food Company for selecting our kennel and NGDC/NAGDC/FC/AFC Peter Gunn for a national ad campaign. 

Thank you for taking the time and the interest to browse our site and may your love for this versatile breed of dogs be or grow as deep as our own for they are an absolute joy to own.

We would also like to add a special thank-you to the American Kennel Club for recognizing our kennel and us as a Breeder of Merit.  We were selected as one of only two-thousand kennels of any breed nationwide to be recognized.  This has further embedded our pride and supported our goal of competing with and raising premium quality Brittanys in order to sustain the breed for the future generations.
