About Alder Brittanys

  • Owners and breeders of quality Brittanys located in Northern Ohio.
  • We compete with our dogs in AKC field trials and conformation shows.  
  • We are Active members of the Buckeye, Pennsylvania and American Brittany Clubs. 
      • Dan has served several terms as President of the Buckeye Brittany Club, and is a Regional Director of the American Brittany Club.  He is also a licensed AKC field trial judge.
      • All of our dogs are hunted frequently, including at least one trip a year to South Dakota.  A long week pursuing spooky birds over rough terrain separates the pups from the bird dogs and is the number one way we evaluate our breeding stock.  Performance in competition, health and temperament tells us the rest of the story.
  
About Us
     We're Dan and Allison, a lawyer and a veterinarian, living with our son and other animals on a small farm outside of Cleveland.  When we're not working, we're training or competing with our dogs.
 
Our Farm
     Allison and Dan have a small farm with enough room to train dogs and keep a few other animals.  Along with our dogs, we keep two cats, two horses, two cows, chickens, turkeys, quail and pigeons.  See pictures of our farm here.

  • Another Futurity Dual Dog Winner!      Congratulations to owner Dan Campbell and Alder's Sophie Brook "Sophie" for winning the dual dog award at the 2014 Western Futurity!   Sophie, handled by Dan in both the field and show, won the gun dog stake and took second place in the senior female class in the show.  Dan is new to field trials and shows, but he's taken to both with reckless abandon.  We're very proud of them both.  Sophie is out of our FC/AFC Annie and by our Dual Champion, Charlie.     This is the second year in a row that a dog we've bred took a futurity dual dog award.  Last year, Alder All Tundra Devil Tuktu "Tucker" owned by Bob Puerner, won ...

We're very excited about our upcoming litter this spring.  We're breeding our Annie to FC Black Creek Deacon, owned by Ron Harling in upstate New York.  We've admired the Harlings' dogs for many years and Deacon is an exceptional bird dog.  Annie's record in the field and in our hearts is unmatched, giving us very high hopes for this litter.  Puppies are due March 16, 2014.  You can read all about them here.

  • Fall of 2013 is one to remember The Fall of 2013 was a great season for us.  Riley started to show us the consistency we've been looking for and quickly qualified to run at gun dog nationals.  Riley placed first and second in the Amateur and Open Gun Dog stakes at the Buckeye Brittany Club, 3rd and 2nd in the Open and Amateur Gun Dog stakes at the Michigan Saginaw Valley Brittany Club and 4th in the Open Limited Gun Dog stake at the Southern Michigan Weimaraner Club.  He qualified and ran in both the open and amateur gun dog nationals, where he put down beautiful runs but showed his youth around birds.  We'll be home with our second child in the spring and will ...

What's special about Alder Brittanys?

-Dedicated to competing with and breeding the finest Brittanys for field, show and home

-Competition shows us which dogs are worthy of being bred

-We breed for health, temperament, hunting ability and looks

-All of our dogs are family dogs and live in the house

- We prefer our dogs run big but they will all handle to a hunter on foot

-Field trials prove a lot about our dogs but we know that a bird dog is only as good as his ability to put wild birds on the table
