Karen Hanson- Labyrinth Brittanys

Labyrinth Brittanys, based in Maidens, Virginia, is Karen Hanson's breeding program focused on Brittanys in the heart of central Virginia, roughly 25 miles west of Richmond. Karen began breeding Brittanys as a teenager and has been active in the breed for well over 30 years, earning recognition as an AKC Gold Level Breeder of Merit along the way.

The program's goal is to produce dogs that are sound in mind and body and capable across multiple disciplines — conformation, field, obedience, and therapy work. All breeding stock is OFA certified for hips and eyes and holds a CHIC number, reflecting a health testing standard that goes beyond the minimum. Labyrinth typically produces one or two litters per year, with each breeding aimed at improving the breed rather than volume.

The kennel has a strong record in competition, with national specialty winners, field placements, and dogs that have earned Reserve Best in Show awards. Karen places particular emphasis on proving that Brittanys are a true dual-purpose breed — dogs that can hold their own both in the conformation ring and in the field. Anyone searching for Brittany puppies in Virginia will find that Labyrinth has a long track record of placing dogs into hunting, showing, obedience, and therapy roles, with a requirement that dogs be returned to the breeder rather than rehomed if an owner's circumstances change.
