Meet the breeder
I'm Anne P., the breeder behind Fernhill Brittanys located in Des Moines, IA. I am passionate about breeding for the betterment of the breed.

Q. & A. with Anne
Why did you start breeding?
After spending many years showing, training and working with dogs professionally, I am enjoying breeding the occasional carefully-planned litter with the goal of preserving and bettering the breed.What makes your program special?
I am passionate about the care, planning and effort that I put into each breeding. From researching pedigrees to raising puppies so they have the appropriate handling and support for each developmental stage and placing puppies in the homes that they are the best fit for, ensuring that they become the best that they can be. My breeding stock is always OFA tested.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Colbie is smart, funny, birdy and biddable. She is such an joy to live with and an easy dog to take anywhere. Colbie finished her championship almost exclusively at specialty shows with very limited showing. She earned Awards Of Merit at the 2019 and 2021 American Brittany Club National specialties. Colbie was also Iowa Brittany Club Show Dog of the Year for 2019. This is what her field trainer, Bob Burchett, has to say about her: "Colbie is a dual champion in the making. She hunts with intelligent application, fluid gait and terrific ground speed. She points her birds accurately with lofty style and manners of a field champion. She has been a quick learner with a great desire to please."
