    IN SYMPATHY:
    The Central Maine Brittany Club was very sorry to learn of the passing of Evelyn Stackpole.  Evelyn was a true friend to Maine's canine loving community and will be greatly missed.  In recent years Evelyn handcrafted original, beautiful glass etched Brittany suncatchers donated by CMBC members Jim and Kim Tees to be given as awards at the club's Specialty shows.  Perhaps she was known most through and because of her dedication to the Doberman Pinscher. Here is a link with more information about Evelyn:

               The Central Maine Brittany Club -  Inc. 1978

    One of CMBC's  founding members Dwight "Pete" Jordan at  CMBC's first field trial over 30 years ago at the Pride homestead in Windham, Maine. His Brittany is locked up solid, on point as Pete walks in to flush the bird and fire a blank gun. 
     
     
    CMBC's outreach to the general public about responsible dog ownership and introducing the Britty  includes participating in educational events such as an AKC "Meet The Breed" presentation.
     
    CMBC participates annually in the AKC "LOBBY DAY" held in the Hall of Flags at the Maine State Capital House in Augusta. This is an outreach to touch base with state legislators about the concerns of responsible dog owners and breeders.  CMBC presents their perspective regarding bird hunting and hunting with dogs. Additionally the club works closely with the AKC Government Relations Department.  

    32 years and going strong!

    In 1978 a few dedicated Brittany owners in Maine got together and decided that Maine needed it's own regional Brittany club. One reason was to provide local opportunities for owners to work towards field championships with their dogs without having to travel long distances. The response was tremendous!  In time CMBC worked hard to be able to offer AKC and American Field trials for the Brittany and other pointing breeds.  The club also went through the necessary steps to be able to offer AKC Bench shows. 

     

    Through the years many members have been extremely competitive in various venues with their Brittanys and successfully finished their dogs as National Champions, Amateur Field Champions, Dual Champions, American Field Champions, Show Champions, Agility Champions, Junior through Master Hunters, Flyball Champions and more. Currently there are several members who are actively involved in many of these dog sports resulting in vast accumulative knowledge based on their experiences.   

     

    With a deep respect for the traditions of the past and a keen eye on the future new members and co-founders alike often work side by side to keep this club moving forward. 

     

    HISTORY
