«The undisputed master of Breton spaniel trainer-breeders cited as an example by the most serious specialists, the man who has left a trace of his work in all the dogs which win at present the national and international competitions in work, is Guy Morin, my father, trainer-breeder of Brittany spaniels in Callac de Bretagne, founder of Keranlouan breeding, in the 1950s.
His first illustrious she-dog, source of his breeding production , was Glazick de Keranlouan. She won several times the CACT (first national prize).

My father showed his tact on the “retrempe” [mixing different bloods technique] of the Brittany spaniel using some setter blood.
He created a stock of extraordinary Brittany Spaniels, the top of pointers !
Tintin de Keranlouan was the first European champion in 1976. He became the undisputed king of Brittany spaniels: a marvel in terms of hunting, style, and standard.

Son of a breeder admired by all, very quickly, I had only one idea in mind: to do the same job as my father, become trainer- breeder of Brittany spaniels. »

A dog’s behavior depends primarily on his education

« Since I realized that dogs are sensitive, intelligent beings, I have not stopped paying attention to their behavior, to better understand them. My method of education is based on the observation of the puppy to take into account his personality. It is important to listen to him.
Also, I do not sell my dogs to no matter who, but to masters respectful of the well-being of the dog, of his development at their side.
