MTBC Mission Statement: The Montana Brittany Club strives to protect and advance the interests of the Brittany.  Club members espouse and encourage the dual concept (field and show), good sportsmanship, fellowship, diversity and cooperation among Brittany enthusiasts.  The club promotes education, responsible ownership, ethical breeding (including good hunting instincts and structure), quality training, and encourages youth and beginners.
