Waverly’s pregnancy is confirmed! Puppies are due in late March, going home in late May. Our wait list for this litter is full, thank you to everyone who inquired!
We are so excited to announce our first planned litter at Aviary Kennels! This litter has been the result of the stars aligning, as well as so much support from the Brittany community.
When researching potential matches for Waverly while discussing breeding plans with our mentor, I came across William, owned by Ann Harris, who is an incredibly accomplished show, sport, and hunting dog. William is an obedience champion (OTCH) a Canadian Grand Champion/GCH and an American Champion/CH. He is also titled in rally (Rally Excellent/RE in both the CKC and AKC) and in the field, and he was the high in trial obedience dog at the Brittany National in 2018. William competed in utility obedience at the Brittany National this year and is still jumping at full height at nearly 11 years old. We love to see proof of that kind of soundness and longevity in our breed!
William has excellent bone and earset, both of which are improvements I was looking for in a match for Waverly. He and Waverly also share one grandsire, so the breeding would be a linebreeding on MBISS GCHB Sunquest Cimmaron Catch the Wind CD BN RAE MH RATO CGCA (Chase), who is one of my favorite dogs in Waverly’s pedigree. It seemed like an excellent match! Unfortunately due to his location in Canada, I was unsure if we would be able to navigate the logistics of the breeding. Then in the summer of 2025, we saw him come across our Facebook feed! He was showing in veterans in Texas, and potentially interested in being used as a stud again, as he’d only had one previous litter. We reached out to the breeder & handler showing him, who put us in touch with Ann, and the rest has fallen into place!
What Ann has to say about William:
“He is a wonderful dog, I’ve had many in my lifetime and William is something very special — you will never get a more honest hunter, he is a bird finding machine and to watch him work pheasants is a joy to watch. He has been a wonderful competitor in obedience. He finished in America with three specialty 5 point majors including BOW at the summer nationals. I have brought him out of retirement for the national, he has had a high in trial and a high combined at the national and his photo has been on the front page of the ABC magazine 3 times. And on top of all that he is the soundest dog out there, nothing bothers him.”

We believe this pairing will produce everything we aspire to here at Aviary Brittanys: moderate, driven, versatile, and level-headed bird dogs that will be as much a pleasure to train and to live with as they are to hunt behind. We hope they carry forward their parents’ natural drive to retrieve, biddability, bird sense, and cooperative natures. Waverly and William are both registered with the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club, and we are happy to work with Canadian homes! We will facilitate registration with the club you prefer.
This litter is priced at $1600
We are so grateful to everyone who had a hand in making this litter a reality.
