Julie Mahoney/Sampico Kennels

Julie Mahoney/Sampico Kennels breeds Brittanys in Veneta, OR, in Lane County and the Willamette Valley near Eugene. Julie Mahoney has been involved in breeding and training Brittanys for several years and follows recommended health testing protocols through regional breed clubs.

Their dogs are raised in a family setting with daily handling, early socialization and access to spacious pastures surrounded by forested trails. Puppies learn basic commands and develop natural retrieval instincts before joining their new homes.

The kennel’s rural setting allows regular field outings, helping each dog refine its hunting and companionship skills. Their property borders protected woodlands, offering varied terrain for conditioning and exploration. Many of their adult dogs participate in local hunt tests and community events as amateur therapy dogs for seniors and school groups. Each puppy goes home with a starter kit, a record of health clearances, feeding guidelines and training suggestions.
