2025 NATIONAL CONCLAVE
Midwest Hospitality Welcomes the EB Community to Iowa. The 2025 CEB-US National Conclave brought together passionate Epagneul Breton enthusiasts from across the country for five unforgettable days in Northwest Iowa. From thoughtful seminars and conformation evaluations to challenging wild bird field trials and community-building moments, this year’s event was a powerful reminder of why we gather: to celebrate, evaluate, and advance the breed we all love.
​
Whether it was your first time participating or one of many, your presence helped shape this year's Conclave into something truly special. We invite you to dive into the full recap and relive the highlights — including key takeaways, field results, and special recognitions.

2025 Conclave Foreign Judge
The CEB-US was honored to have Sr. Jose Luis Recondo of Spain as our guest foreign judge for the 2025 Conclave. Mr. Recondo is the current president of the Amicale Internationale des Clubs de l'Épagneul Breton (AICEB) and has been a field judge in Spain since 1988. He recently earned his credentials for Conformation in 2023 but has been a student of the EB since 1990 and a student of pointing dogs since long before that. We are extremely honored to have Mr. Recondo accept our invitation to come to our conclave. Read the official announcement.
