Hi! We have purchased three Brittanys from John, and we are happy to relate our experience with John and our dogs.

Paul and I think our dogs are the best in the world, as I know all the Marsport Brittany owners feel. The dogs all have their own unique personalities, but some qualities are common to all the dogs. Of those qualities I would have to say affection, intelligence and willingness to please us are the "big three". They all seem to adore their owners and want to do anything that makes us happy, whether it be hunting in the fields all day (of course THEY love that too!) or being a good companion and "couch potato". Their sweet dispositions make them welcome wherever we take them.

As far as health concerns we have had very few problems. Paul is a veterinarian so we see all the conditions different breeds are susceptible to, and our dogs seem to be relatively free from serious illnesses.

John is a highly regarded and conscientious breeder. He has had Brittanys for many years and has produced some of the finest dogs in the country, and at the same time has always given his new owners all the support and information they need to raise their pup.

Sincerely, Paul & Martha

I have been doing a lot of looking back lately. I can think of few things that have brought me more fulfillment than these 2 dogs.

One of these days, on some appropriate occasion, I hope to have the opportunity to propose a toast to some of the finest pointing gun dogs in the United States…Marsport Brittanys.” You can see Jeff’s dogs on the HUNTING DOG page. Look for Jeff’s articles in “Pointing Dog Journal”.

With respect and thanks, your friend,
Jeff

I thought I would update you on Cappy, Jim went to Bong one day recently and ran into some people working their young dogs.
Jim said it was totally amazing, just one correction and he came in closer every time Jim gave him the command.

Lee, a friend, had not seen Cappy work for awhile and he was totally impressed. Jim of course beamed like a proud father. I truly feel that Cappy is our once in a lifetime dog, I don't know if we will ever have a dog as good as him again, I truly hope so though.

We had a picture taken of him yesterday. He is such a ham. He loved posing for the camera. He has such a fantastic personality (or should I say dogality). Everybody loves him. And what is better, he likes everybody including all the dogs he plays with each week. They can't believe him at Pet Smart where he goes to play atleast once a week. Even dogs that are shy he gets them socialized and gets them playing. They love having him there because he tires out the other dogs. By about four o'clock in the afternoon the other dogs are laying around. Not William, he is still raring to go.

What a joy he is. He is now in advanced obedience and we are working him without a lead. I don't know for sure, but we may eventually take him into obedience competition. We still have a lot of work to do with him. He is really, really intelligent. It only takes a couple of times to show him a command and he picks it up.

Enough of us bragging. YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF BREEDING.

Thank you, KC

When I first visited John and his dogs, my only intention was to have a sweet, well-bred companion. But because Marsport Brittanys are so healthy and correct in conformation, I quickly decided to give the dog show world a try. Terra and I worked hard to make our mark, and I’m happy to say it paid off. Not only did she finish her championship, she also turned many heads with her pretty face and lovely lines. John’s dogs have their own distinct look, and wherever we go, people in the know recognize Terra as one of many beautiful, elegant Marsport Brittanys.

Terra is the first Brittany we have ever owned, and she has amazed and delighted us since we brought her home in the summer of 2005. She is intelligent, energetic, and she keeps us on our toes! Next on the agenda are obedience and agility, and I have no doubt we will do well and have a ball. Keep your Brittany busy, and she will keep you young!
