Rainbow Ridge Brittanys is the kennel name used by Jerry and Kathy Hogan. As the name implies, we are involved in Brittanys, only Brittanys. When you look at some of the other fine Brittany programs, we have been involved in Brittanys only a relatively short time, starting in March of 1993, however, we have been fortunate to have been relatively successful with our dogs and the puppies that we have brought into this world.

Our name was inspired by the beautiful rainbows that are common over Gunbarrel Ridge, just East of our former home in Boulder, Colorado, and which is in the open space where many of our dogs were first introduced to the joys of field work. Our pups carry the Rainbow's kennel designation which is registered with the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association.

We are involved in both field trials and shows and are active members of the Skyline Brittany Club in Denver, Colorado. We both show our dogs, Jerry does field training and handles in trials and hunt tests while Kathy is responsible for getting our puppies well socialized, introducing them to conformation and occasionally handles dogs in hunt tests as well. Kathy also takes care of the grooming of our dogs.

Here we are with some of our Brittanys:

We are now located outside of Bennett, Colorado, about 30 miles east of Denver and just south of I-70. We are situated on 35 acres and have immediate access to a large part of the Valhalla~Bijou Hunt Club which is where we do much of the training and conditioning of our dogs. We have access to grasslands, CRP and treed creek bottom along Kiowa Creek.

Here is our “headquarters and kennel.”
