Why we're here

Hi Everyone....this Lamont Brittany blog site is about the line of bird dogs we have been associated with since 1977. We did not 'invent'...nor did we 'create' the Lamont line of dogs....in fact, we don't even know who did! We just know that our first stud dog was from a breeding that contained a couple of dogs named "Lamont" in the pedigree. We wanted to preserve the things we liked about AFC Buck De Lamont, his enthusasm, his looks, his bird sense and most of all his abilty to do it all...win field trials, bench shows, find worlds of quail, water retrieve Ducks & Geese, and to be a wonderful family pet. Buck's father was a RU National Champion and his maternal Grandfather was a National Champion ... a pretty good place to start huh? As we became more active in trialing and associating with top pros and amateurs, we discovered outstanding qualities in other dogs that we liked...NC Perry's Rustic Prince.....NC Bean's Blaze....Hall of Famer Rimarda's Trademark. The influence of Blaze and Trademark particularly, both from the HOF/NC Ban-Dee lineage, have been frequent 'go to' outcrosses that have strengthened the qualities we want to achieve. A look at recent pedigrees will confirm this influence. Other owners have achieved success with the progeny of Lamont dogs and have found them valid producers in their own breeding programs, with multiple Dual Champions, Field Champions and both AKC and American Field hour Championships. This blog, and our website http://www.lamontbrittany.com/ are designed to aid the serious breeder, hunter and trialer in making decisions about the future of the breed. Thanks for visiting.
