If you presently own a Brittany or are considering owning a Brittany, the CNEBC might be a perfect group in which to learn and educate yourself to life with a hunting dog.  Brittanys are very active  happy dogs.  Their desire to hunt and their ability to run is exceptional. They are extremely intelligent and so happy to please.  But you have to be able to keep up with their active lifestyle.  Being involved with what CNEBC has to offer gives you the opportunity to participate in events  of interest to both you and your dog and gives you both an outlet for that energy.

     Over the many years, since the club’s inception, the members so inspired by our first DC, Britt of Bellows Falls,  have tried to maintain the original goals and interest in promoting the Dual Dog.  Champion in the show ring as well as the field.   To that end the club sponsors events that are in keeping with these goals.  We run two AKC Sanctioned Field Trials per year.    One in the fall and one in the spring.   These trials help members earn points for Field Championships.  Many members from other regional clubs participate in these events.

      In the spring we run a two day AKC Sanctioned  Hunting Test  open to all pointing breeds. Legs are earned for Junior thru Master Hunting Titles 

 In August, on the third Friday of the month, we have our annual AKC Sanctioned Independent Specialty Show and another show with an All Breed club in our area during the year.   Our events that draw entries from all over the Northeast and beyond.  Some of the finest Brittanys that the breed has to offer will be seen at our shows and field events.

       The Club has a “Member’s Fun Day”, formally known as the “Standish” , where we run a fun field competition, a general meeting for nomination of officers and a pot luck supper.  This event is held at the Swift River Sportsmen’s Club in Belchertown, MA on the first Sunday in December.  Rotating trophies are given for the days events at the Game Dinner.
