Welcome to "All Things Brittany !"

"All things bright and beautiful, all things great and small, all things Brittany, the Lord God loves them all."
Our blog began 5 years ago while awaiting the birth of a litter of Brittany puppies. Early posts shared pregnancy confirmation, first movement of pups, whelping, development, weaning, and ongoing evaluations right up to the first day of the rest of their lives with their happy new owners. Eventually we discovered that a lot of people looked forward to the posts even when puppies were not involved. We then added more variety while keeping with the original purpose of the ATB blog, which is to provide updates about J&A's Brittanys in Acton, Maine. More photos and videos were posted in frequent, diary type journal entries. The writing became more transparent by sharing more openly about God, family, and the value of friendship. Blog posts now include personal stories, situations that challenge, thoughts about prayer, anectodes, and inspiration. Some may evoke joy and laughter while others share feelings of sadness and sorrow. ATB is "All Things Brittany" all things God, all things family, and all things friendship. All for the love of the dog, both given and received. And don't forget - the Brittany is first and foremost - a GUN DOG! Sincerely, John and Ann Short

Rest In Peace Louie

"LOUIE"
January 8, 2011  - January 26, 2012

It is with a heavy heart that John and I, along with Tom and Kim share the sad news that Louie ( Jasmine & Jack’s son born w/ sisters Bella & Molly and brother Remington) was unfortunately hit by a car early Thursday morning and lost his life. This has come way too soon in his young life. Louie was just 1 year old. Our hearts are deeply saddened. A very special little boy who will be forever in all of our hearts. Our deepest sympathies are with his family. As breeders, Tom and Kim always kept us up to date about Louie, from the moment he was born, to his puppy development with them, to when he went home with his wonderful new owners, through his antics the first year, training, achievements, and his first bird just a couple of months ago.  We 'knew' Louie very well and loved him.  I know the pain we feel however is little in comparison to how his family feels.  He will be with many ATB friends at the Rainbow Bridge, this is true but the reality of this loss, of such a young puppy is devastating.  Timberdoodle, I know you will welcome him there and introduce him to Hunter, Cinamon Rose Harris, Spooky, Doc, Chester, Jessie, and so many others.... xoxoxoxox
