This guy has had the FHO procedure done.
He hunts and runs OK. His gait is a bit odd but he runs with a full sized big wheeled Setter type dog. The muscle mass is not as large on that leg but he runs well & big for a small dog
(French Britt).

Re: Neutering month before season?
YEP. Why neuter at all. Neutering is largely over rated. Neutering especially under 18 mos. to 2 yrs. old isn't doing the dog any favors in physical development. Biggest factor from neutering tht could affect hunting: Dog gets fat from over feeding, more so & easier after neutering. Dog possibly has...

Re: Neuter
Neutering a male dog under age 18 mos. to two years is foolishness. The dog isn't done growing till somewhere in that time period. Bones are not mature till around that age. This kennel will never neuter another male dog unless for a medical necessity (testicular cancer - prostate issues etc). I had...

I have priced Pup's (looking to buy) as high as $2000.00. Have bought Pups cheaper than that.

The AKC is not interested in designating FRENCH BRIITANIES as a separate Breed. The CEB-US represents them as a Breed but it's UKC.
Conformation does matter no matter regardless what breed. A dog that isn't "put together" correctly having good conformation can have
issues down the road later in life.

Obedience in the house is one thing. Outside you need to train it all over again.
To a dog what applies in one place has to be repeated & reinforced in another place / change of location.
At 12 weeks training is fine but bear in mind this is a very young pup. Stick to "PLAY" training - make it fun.
