Brittany spaniels

[stvnsnwdy]

I'm looking to get me a good dog, mostly for some upland hunting. What are your guys reviews about Brittany's? and second anyone know any breeders?

I have a Brittany that is about 3 yrs old now.  Great dog, loves bird hunting and is also a good family dog.  Any fault in hunting skills is a reult of my training or lack there of.  He naturally points very well, holding is another subject.  We got our dog from Cascade Brittanys in Darrington, great place.

I have a Britt, can't give you any breeders as I'm not sure the one I got my dog from is still doing it.

I'd find you a good trainer 1st before I picked out a dog.  Also, Britts escape damm near anything so make sure you got either some really high fences or kennel with a roof as they'll climb the wire.

Shop the trainer, then shop the dog.



Oh and drop the Spaniel part, it's debatable how much "Spaniel" is left in them anymore.

They dropped the spaniel part because Brits point, and don't flush.  All other "spaniels" flush.  In all honesty, they are still part spaniel though.  Ever seen a Brit that looks just like a springer?  And vise versa....

Of coarse flushing or not depends on the dog

Your avatar is a good example of how much pointer they have in them though.

Believe me, my dog looks nothing like a pointer, unless she's shaved, like in the picture.   Brits are Brits, which is a combination of Setters, Pointers, and I believe Welsh Spaniels.  They point because of the 2/3rds cross pointing dogs.  But they still look like spaniels, especially the liver Brittany's.

most pointy breeds have some EP hiding in the wood shed.

jet jockey, what are the main differences between french brittanies and american? I always thought it was mainly size, but there are sume huge French britts out there.

I was seeing if you'd freak out 

Anyways, sorry I was having a little fun with that one.

I'd like to try a little French Brittany, neat little dogs.   
Back in the day they were a poachers dog, hunting on the kings land - or so goes the story.

supposedly they were small so the poacher could easily hide them if he got busted by the kings Gamey.

I don't think they have all that much EP and setter blood in them like the american brits do these days.

Have hunted behind them since I was a kid.  Dad has had 4 dogs in 40 years.   Most were from reputable breeders with champ parents.  We have trained them all and they have been great bird dogs.  All with different personalities.   They will point and retrieve if trained to do so.  Pm me if you want info on the last breeder we used.

Ours is 3 and we love him, great family dog and is as skilled at hunting as I allow him. Got ours from Cascade View Britannys in Darrington, their dogs tend to be on the larger size.

*****I bought a brittany pup from Wind Moutain Kennels owned and operated by Connie Strom last March.  I could not be any happier with what her Kennel procdued and the puppy I have. 

I can attest the puppy I recieved is extremely inteligent, well mannered, extremely "birdy," easily trainable and LOVES to hunt!

Please PM me if you have any questions or would like to see some  of the photo's I took of my puppy this year in the field.

It is my understanding Connie has a litter which will whelp in February (next month).
