Shirley Chilcote has been breeding quality Brittanys for over forty years. Her dogs have excelled in every venue possible. She has owned and bred many top ten dogs, including the number one Brittany for two consecutive years. Her dogs have earned OTCH titles in obedience, MACH titles in agility, hunting titles (including DC), and rally titles. A few of her Brittanys have excelled in therapy work, bringing joy to the patients they visit.

Chilcote Brittanys began in 1968 with a cute little roan Brittany puppy named Larry's Dottie. They quickly discovered one Brittany was not enough so Snooper's Freckles and Patti Be Good joined their household. Shirley competed for Companion Dog obedience titles (CD) and Freckles became her first obedience titled Brittany.

Ch. Princess Perky was her first show champion and every champion that followed had Chilcote as their kennel name. Then she began showing Am/Can/PR Ch. Chilcote's Charger Am/Can CD, known as Charger. He was Shirley's first group placing Brittany. At around this time they bred their first litter that had liver and white puppies. One of those puppies would become the most famous of any Chilcote Brittany. His name was Am/Can Ch. Chilcote Bent Oak Creditor, known as Credit. Credit continued his legacy through his children, producing many top winning Brittanys. Simultaneously, Am/Can Ch. Chilcote's Twin Oak Challenge, known as Chip, was doing his fare share of winning.

In 1995 and 1996 Ch. Chilcote's Credit Account, known as Count, was the number one Brittany and the winner of the Pedigree award. Am/Can Ch. Chilcote's Credit Line won a Best in Show, and we are very proud of his accoplishments. Ch. Chilcote's Credit To Ceasar JH and his son Int'l/Am Ch. Chilcote's Talk About Me TDI have recently lit up the ring with their winning ways. Our present star is Ch. Chilcote's Credit Genius. He is just starting out as a special and we look forward to what the future holds. This handful of dogs does not closely total the number of Chilcote Brittanys that have made an impact on our breeding program and they do not touch the number of dogs who have been extremely successful in the show ring.

Shirley Chilcote's forty years of experience breeding and showing Brittanys is now being passed on to Jessie Schulz. She has been mentoring her for the last five years and has taught her so much, Jessie will forever be grateful. Jessie is attending the University of Florida and is still able to attend enough shows to keep her dogs in the top ten. Shirley and Jessie have registered "Credit" as their kennel name and will gradually phase out Chilcote. Jessie being co-owner of Credit Brittanys will continue the tradition of breeding versatile, pretty, sound Brittanys that meet the Brittany standard.

At the heart of Chilcote Brittanys are the beloved pets that bring love and devotion to their families. There is nothing more important to us than our dogs receiving loving homes where they can have a wonderful life. We would like to thank all those who have owned our dogs in the past, those who care for our dogs now, and all the future owners of a Chilcote Brittany. We cannot express our graditude for the wonderful life our dogs receive. Thank you for everything!!!
