Laurel Furnace Bretons

UPDATE:
If you are interested in joining this club, please comment in this post. I want to get a list of names by the end of the month (hopefully) so we can have a meeting and get this club started. It's been in the works for quite awhile and now it's time to make it happen!

We're looking to start an EB club for the mid Atlantic states (PA, MD, NJ, DE, NY) and wanted to see who would be interested

The club would host 2 field trials and two training events each year.

We would be available to support each other with questions, training techniques, etc. And its a great way to meet new people who share in the love of French Brittany's and hunting!

Please comment if you're interested. Thanks!!

Here are two of the pups from the past Purdy/Iggins litter....

If you have a pup from that breeding, post a pic in the comments! We would love to see them!

01/31/2026

Currently one male and one female deposit available.
UPDATE: We had to change plans for this breeding due to Purdy coming into heat earlier than expected. This is the final change for this litter as we had a successful tie this morning. We do apologize for the changes.

We are pleased to announce this breeding for a Spring Litter……

Purdy De Bent River, TAN, WRT & Quinto Del Vino Fino, TAN, Spanish Import

Purdy is out of Ourson du Domaine de Fayet(French Import) X CH Jelly Bean de Broughton
Quinn is the son of Ciro De Mellantes & May Del Vino Fino
We are excited for this breeding!

Purdy is an excellent hunter and field trialer with a bird drive that won't stop. She retrieves on land and water, has hunted wild birds and has been used successfully to guide on preserve hunts.
Purdy's OFA Hip score is GOOD, she is also AY gene negative and has been confirmed.

Quinn has a very laid back demeaner in the house, but is hard core in the fields! He has a high prey drive and a fantastic nose for finding the birds!

We are expecting this litter to have high prey drive, but also a calmer demeaner! If you are looking for a pup that will hunt for days, but also knows how to "shut if off" at home, then this litter may be for you!

We are accepting deposits now. We have 1 more deposit available for a female and 2 more for a male.

PM if interested.

Update!! Astro went to hos forecer home yesterday. Thank you all for the interest in him. Up for consideration, Astro de Laurel Furnace. He is the last pup from Pippa & Quinn. We decided to make him available as a lightly started pup.

He is gunbroke and has been exposed to pheasants while hunting with our older dogs. His recall is outstanding and he is not afraid to explore the fields on his own and his prey drive is great!

He is a sweetheart with plenty of s***k and smarts!

PM if interested.

Had a nice evening hunt with Briar and Vixie. They both needed to get out and stretch their legs!! Briar had some nice points while Vixie had some flash points. They both ran together nicely.

Astro didn't get to go hunting this evening but he got to play with one of the birds when we got back.

More pictures of Vito! And some videos in separate posts....

Up for consideration is Valentino (aka Vito) de la Rivière Ouareau. He came to us from France.

He is a little over a year old and the sweetest boy ever! We unfortunately cannot use him in our breeding program as he grew too tall. We are heartbroken to have to make this decision, but it's something we have to do.

He has been "hunting" with us and has an incredible prey drive but will need some work to reel it in a bit. We would love for him to go to a hunting home.

PM if interested.
