I'm Kelly E., the breeder behind Solitaire kennel / French Brittanies located in Atlantic Mine, MI. We are a small kennel, our dogs are family! They all live in the house along side of us and are outstanding hunting companions. We are proud to carefully continue their lines , always striving to learn and improve. We breed both to provide families with loving and capable companions as well as the drive, health and genetic traits it takes to be in the field hunting successfully all day.
