First of all, forgive me for initially saying the pup was 13 months. He's just 13 weeks. That makes a big difference. I took him out this morning with a couple of quail. I'd just toss them out when he wasnt looking. He'd find them, flash point and then chase. He still had that new found independence...

So are there any wild birds on this abandoned golf course ? If not, are you planting any birds for him to find ? If not, why not ? . Yes... I put him on planted birds about once per week and he's doing well. Finding them and flash pointing pretty good. Taking a little break because of the 100 degre...

I would intro the ecollar now, but this need to be done correctly (with known commands, overlaying the ecollar with the checkcord. Huntsmith does well explaining this) Still you should let the pup roll on your walks, but when he blows you off you have the ecollar (after properly introduced) for cor...

Since I live in town I don't have field to take my 13month old Brittany, but Im fortunate that I have an old abandoned golf course that we frequent. Since he was about 8 months, I've taken him 2-3 times a week for walks. He's done well by hunting out front, staying close and even coming and quarteri...

On another note, for those who saw my post about my brittany with the dwarf legs, we decided to return him to the breeder. They refunded the money, and though it was traumatic for my tw...

Thanks for all of the insights and help. I think I'm going to take the advice of an ole timer and long time bird hunter I was with last night. He asked, " Does he hunt birds?" Yes.. at least he's pointing and excited about them. "Does he bite your wife?" No... " Well I wouldn't worry about it." We'v...

I had a look at both parents when I was there. The sire is wide shouldered, stocky but a large Brittany. 50+ lbs I never thought anything was abnormal just that he was a large Brittany. The dam was more square and leggy. The breeders say he should put on length at about four months.

Here's another pic as well.

Hello everyone! My name is Seth from Alabama. I'm getting back into bird hunting after several years away and I'm having fun with my new Brittany pup. I have a bit of an issue and need some help. I got my Brittany from a respectable breeder with AKC papers and we love our new pup. However, our vet d...
