James And Dawn Hardler

James and Dawn Hardler, Brittany breeders in Honesdale, PA, are based in Wayne County and the Pocono Mountains near Scranton. They have been breeding for several years and maintain memberships with national and regional canine clubs to ensure sound bloodlines and health testing.

Their dogs are raised in a home environment with daily socialization and regular outings to woods and fields for obedience and hunting exercises. The kennel’s open layout and focus on positive reinforcement help each puppy develop confidence and adaptability. Several litters have produced dogs that earned local field trial ribbons, reflecting a commitment to traditional hunting traits.

Families appreciate the Hardlers’ transparent communication and detailed records of health clearances for hips, elbows and eyes. Puppy placements come with guidance on training protocols and seasonal care, based on the Hardlers’ hands-on experience in ridge country environments. Owners often note the breed’s natural eagerness and balanced temperament as ideal for both active hunting days and casual family settings.
