Dogwood Brittanys

Dogwood Brittanys, run by Todd and Pam Parmenter in Peoria, Illinois, draws on more than 40 years of family history raising, training, and hunting Brittanys across central Illinois. The program grew naturally from a lifelong connection to the breed — Todd traces his love of Brittanys back to watching legendary gun dogs work the quail fields of Adams County as a teenager — and the kennel itself developed from that foundation rather than as a planned business venture.

The breeding program is built around a dual-purpose standard, aiming to produce dogs capable of competing in both field and conformation venues. Pedigrees across the kennel include Dual Champions, National Champions, Field Champions, and Bench Champions, and the Parmenters compete with their own dogs in field trials and bench shows before using those individuals in the breeding program. Sires and dams carry OFA hip certifications, and the program places a clear emphasis on selecting for intelligence, trainability, athletic ability, temperament, and sound conformation together rather than treating any single trait in isolation.

Dogwood Brittanys holds AKC Breeders of Merit recognition at the Bronze level and is a member of both the American Kennel Club and the American Brittany Club. Puppies are socialized from birth using structured early-stimulation protocols and are evaluated for temperament and conformation before placement. For those searching for Brittany puppies in Illinois, the kennel is located just outside of Peoria, roughly two hours southwest of Chicago, and places dogs with hunters, field trialers, conformation competitors, and family homes alike.
