Cheryl Mika Brittany Spanial handling Dogwood Hollow Brittanys, owned by Gary and Geri Clements and Professional All Breed Handler,Cheryl Mika (Presentation by Cheryl), is a quality focused small Brittany Breeding program located in southern middle Tennessee. We breed AKC American Brittanys (formerly called Brittany Spaniels). We do not have French Brittanys, (Espangeul Bretons) which is a separate breed all together. We are home to multiple Best in Show, Best in Specialty Show, American, Australian and Canadian Champion Brittanys. Our philosophy is to offer to prospective owners, quality bred, health guaranteed, and very well socialized Brittanys. The temperaments of our Brittanys are second to none! We offer show quality, personal gun dogs, and wonderful companion Brittanys, plus Cheryl offers professional handling/grooming of all breeds of dogs. The success we have experienced to date has come about by initially obtaining quality Brittanys for our foundation breeding stock and seeking the finest counsel available in the country. Itfs certainly a combination that is working for us and our dogs.

We had a sad Sept. 11th when we had to have our Meldoy put to rest. It was her 13th Birthday. Melody was our very first Show dog and our foundation bitch. Almost everyone in our kennel goes back to our wonderful Melody!! She was our Princess! It is so hard when the time comes to let them go. But sometimes it is better for them even though we would like to hang on to them for a while longer!! The worst part of having dogs is that they just don't live long enough!! I haven't been able to post this to the site until now because it just hurts so much! Sitting here now with tears rolling down my face. Rest in Peace wonderful Melody, You will always be in our hearts and all we have to do is look at Solo, Star, Brave, Keifer, Sydney, Princess, and all your grandchildren and great grandchildren to know you will live on!! We have one puppy left from our summer breedings. Mickey from the Fantastic Solo/Hank Litter. We are hanging on to him waiting for a Show Home. He is definitely a SHOW PUPPY. He can be seen on the Puppy Page under the Solo/Hank puppy evaluation. He moves just like his Mother SOLO!! Gidget, Dogwood Hollow Lil' Surfer Girl, was Best of Opposite Sex at the American Brittany Summer Specialty in California in May. She also took a 5 point major at the first day of Speicalties, she has 2 Specialties majors now. She is a very pretty girl!! Gidget is a Champion now, she finished in FL with a another major. We took her to the Nationals also and she made the first cut in the Bitch Breed class. Not bad for a baby!! Look out for her when she grows up! It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Am/Canadian Ch. Jordean-Sequani C I Told You So-- Rush. Rush was a Best in Show, Best in Specialty,winning boy and a wonderful wonderful friend. He was diagnosed with Liver cancer in November right before the Nationals. We took him as he was feeling good and he won Best in Veteran Sweeps and Best Stud dog. The show ring was where Rush loved to be!! He flew around the ring and poor Cheryl could hardly keep up. He had such an attitude in the show ring it was like "LOOK AT ME" We had over 6 good months after that with him and even on Tuesday night he was out in the front with Ripley chasing squirrels and birds, even begging for food at the dinner table. When I let him out of his crate on Wednesday morning he was very bloated and a trip to the vet was not what we wanted. The vet always told us we would know when it was time and the time had come! We will miss him terribly but know that we can see him again one day and we have his beautiful kids here to carry on!! We appreciate being able to have him here the last years of his life and give him all the love and joy we had in our hearts. HE WAS HAPPY and he made us happy. Thank you RUSH!!
