My name is Sam, and I am the owner of Hold 'en Point Brittany's LLC. I live north of Raleigh in Kittrell, North Carolina. I currently co-own three American Brittany's; Malley (2 years), Holden (1 year), and Stevie (7 months).
The other person behind Hold 'en Point Brittany's is my fiancé Maddy Marshall. she is my other half and co-owns Malley, Holden, and Stevie.

Where did the name come from?
Hold 'en comes from our male Brittany Holden, pictured to the right. We wanted his name to be a part of our future breeding program as he is to be our first stud dog. I also wanted him to be part of my dog training business.
The name Holden comes from even further back. Holden was the street that I (Sam) lived on from my first birthday until I moved away for college at 17.
The other part of the name comes from the Brittany's hunting abilities. When they enter the scent cone of a bird, they pop one of their front legs and point with their nose in the direction of the bird. (Holden at Falls Lake, North Carolina)
Why become a breeder?
With the amount of puppy mills, back yard breeders, and poorly bred dogs in the world we wanted to offer a well-bred dog that can perform in the field, conformation ring, and be a good house companion.
