Brittany Coe is a resident of Indiana in the East Central Region. She is affiliated with the Greater Indianapolis Brittany Club. She regularly attends events in IN, OH, KY and MI. She first became involved with Brittanys in the early 2000s as a junior and returned to the breed in 2023. She has been a member of ABC since 2023.

Brittany participates in shows, Hunt Tests, Agility, Obedience, Scent Work, Rally and the Futurity. She is also a CGC evaluator and a Fetch judge. She has put many different titles on her dogs, including GCH, JH, RN, RI, RA, BN, CD, BCAT, CGC and various Scent Work titles.

Brittany has been working as part of an Event Committee with a Scent Work club. She has been observing and participating in many events and hopes to become more involved within the clubs.

In her own words, these are her strongest assets if she becomes a member of the ABC BOD.

I am eager to learn about how a national club works. Good or bad, I am not coming on to stir the pot; I want to provide a new voice where new input may be needed. I would like to find a way to better communicate with the club members to make the membership feel more informed.
