Might be wrong but I think I recently read that Roger Borine either has a litter due soon or maybe on the ground now. Probably see him this weekend and I'll try to remember to ask him.

Just starting the search for future breeding's -  Brittany

Anyone got any leads?

Absolutely nothing against your breed of choice, but given what you have running around in the woods up your way have you thought about a Drahthaar? You'd get a bare knuckles brawler of a bird dog that isn't afraid to hunt.

We just bred my Brit.  If she took, we will hopefully have pups on the ground in July.  Not sure if we will have any available or not though. If she has a big litter, we might sell one or two.  The sire is last years RuNC and currently the #1 AA Brit in the country.  My female's not too shabby either, and her littermate is currently the #1 SD Brit in the country.  We are crossing our fingers she took.  She only got bred once because she kept trying to kill the sire when they were trying to get her bred.

keep me in mind,  I might need one still or I've got a brother that might be ready.

do they cover ground like a brit?   

I dunno,  it took me quite a while to transition from training labs to training a brit.  Not sure if I want to figure out yet a different breed.

What's your definition of ground coverage? Not all Brittanys are equal in that regard. Drahthaars aren't known for extreme range.

If you want hellfire and brimstone ground coverage look at English Pointers.

Not sure yet.  My trainer bred the same sire a week earlier and that dam is showing.  He also has a litter that was born in May on the ground.  Those pups have pretty good lineage as well.

Kfhunter,

They aren't Brittanys, but if you mainly hunt grouse and want a dog with some wheels, I would not hesitate to tell you to look at this guy's dogs. If he has any pups left they would be money well spent to have shipped out here imo.

Nothing wrong with Brittanys and if that's the way you want to go do so. But Pointers are rather under represented out here and the coverdog breedings are worth checking out.

Perhaps a vet check is in order? The walnuts we call pups can be felt through palpatation with experianced hands.Seems I recall you used artificial chemical inductuion of heat.

We did bring her in, and if I had her home, I'd take her to the vet.   But she's already in SD for summer camp, and the closest vets aren't very close.  She will either start to show, or she won't, and we will try again later.  We wanted to breed her twice, but she wouldn't stand, and getting them locked up was nearly impossible.   I'm still optimistic since it's been just over a month, but when the second week of July rolls around, if she isn't showing, it's back to roading and getting her ready for the fall trials and Nationals.

He has great dogs from what I've seen and hunted over. I'm pretty jealous of you as I talked to my wife about another brittany (which I will hopefully buy from him) and she pretty much told me to pound sand   :chuckle: keep us updated with pics!

Fay Moeur Walker
1938 ~ 2014
Fay Moeur Walker was an incredibly vibrant woman. She lived a full life as a dog breeder, handler, traveler, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt.
Fay was born on December 3, 1938 in Phoenix, Arizona to Benjamin Baker Moeur and Herma Cable Moeur. Her grandfather, Dr. Benjamin Baker Moeur, was the fourth governor of Arizona and her other grandfather, Herman W. Cable was a founding father of the 3M Corporation. In her young adult life, Fay enjoyed riding her horse, modeling, and doing outdoor sports. She married her first husband, James H. Riddle, in 1958, and had two children, James H. Riddle II and Tracy A. Blenker (Riddle).
Forever an animal lover, Fay was heavily involved in dog showing and breeding. Over the years, she showed many dogs and made champions out of many Brittanys. She loved being on the road with her dogs and her show partner and granddaughter, Danielle Blenker. One of the highlights of her showing career was receiving a first place in the "Bred By" competition at Westminster.
In 1984, Fay married her second husband, David W. Walker, who shared her love for dogs and horses. Together, they toured the United States and competed in field trials. On their off seasons, the couple lived in New Plymouth, Idaho where they bred Brittanys and raised Tennessee Walkers. Fay had a special way with dogs, and they loved her almost as much as she loved them.
Fay had the kind of strength many wish they had—setting her own broken arm, driving thousands of miles hauling fifth wheel trailers to trials, and birthing puppies better than any vet—but she was classy, too. She was a lover of stained glass, a seamstress of beautiful clothes, and could make Christmas caramels and chili rellenos that were blue-medal worthy. Mama Fay, as she was known by many, had more friends in her life than a person could expect. She cared deeply about everyone—even strangers—and will be sorely missed.
Fay M. Walker passed away on January 28, 2014 from complications after a fall. There will be a memorial celebration Saturday, June 28, 2014 at her daughter's home. She is survived by her husband, David W. Walker; her daughter, Tracy A. Blenker; her sister, Nina Gammons; her granddaughter, Danielle E. Blenker; her niece, Inger Lukens; and her great-niece and nephew, Kaarin Ramer and David Lukens.

Just heard from my trainer.  We have puppies in the oven.  They should be here around the 16th or 17th. Now I'm just crossing my fingers for a healthy momma and a healthy litter.
