5 Generations, yes 5! My great grandfather introduced my grandfather to bird hunting when he was a boy, they had a little Brittany. My grandfather had a Golden Retriever here and there but always had a Brittany around. My father and my uncle carried on the tradition as we had several Brittanys growi...

The Northern Nevada Brittany Club is in need of your ideas for a portable, lightweight bird pen that can be put up and taken down in a matter of minutes. Our old pen was built out of 1 1/2 inch PVC and chicken wire. The PVC is cracked, broken, and we would like to start over with something that woul...

Just another perspective: my small bitch 18"/27 lbs.(normal weight) just whelped a healthy litter of 7 on 3/25/10, the smallest was 10.8 and the largest was 12.5oz. I was expecting a little smaller as well, since she was the runt of her litter only weighing in at 7.2 oz. I fed my dam as much as she ...

I have a little Brittany bitch who loves to hunt bunnies almost as much as she loves to hunt birds. Last week in all her 7 weeks along pregnant glory she plucked a baby bunny out of the bush and retrieved it to hand, although it's not the best thing when she chases them at a field trial....

Wow, that makes me sad, and my pups aren't even here yet! At least I get to keep one... Letting them go is going to be hard for me too.

SierraMtnBrits

Very nice picture! I am sure you are proud. Congrats to you and your dog for such outstanding accomplishments

!

Good luck to you for a successful hunt test! They are a lot of fun when they go smoothly. All of these are really good suggestions. Just an idea for your next hunt test, find another club to do one with you. Our club tries to match up with the GSP club here in Nevada to hold a double hunt test. They...

That sounds weird, I know.... Possibly a strange question, is there something in the hormones when a female is in heat that can make her itch? My bitch has been in standing heat for about 3-4 days now and has been bred, however, during the past few days she has acted like she's got ants crawling on ...

Good job! The only good yote is a dead one.

We had to shoot one right in our yard a couple weeks ago, came right up to us in broad daylight, middle of the day, brazen son of a gun. I've got a small son, a small Brit and a litter of pups on the way, I can't have them around.

SierraMtnBrits

Being that she's developed it before, and it being a Friday when your vet may not be opened on the weekend, I would have her checked out to be on the safe side... when it comes to pups and the well being of the bitch, I always go on the side of caution... good luck, 13 pups is quite a handfull. Let ...

I've got 14 people on my waiting list right now for pups and 12 of them want a female. Most say they want a female for the reasons stated above, the buyers think they're better house dogs, more loyal etc. The ones who want males want them because they already have an alpha female.

As usual, another wonderful and well written post with some great pics! As someone who frequently hunts chukar from October to late January in Nevada, I completely understand!

SierraMtnBrits

Does he have a registered name yet? How bout the names of his sire and dam to get an idea?

By the way,congrats on the new pup!! So exciting!

SierraMtnBrits

What unit did you draw in UT? We drew out for 17 and hunted around strawberry. There were 4 of us, 2 were successful, 2 were not, we all had cow tags. It was my first big game hunt and it sure was a lot of fun however, I was not one who was successful. Maybe next time. SierraMtn, Have you hunted up...

SierraMtnBrits

It was so so, didn't get out at the beginning of the season at all because we were in Utah hunting elk as well, and the few times we've been out since have been alright. Sometimes we see them sometimes we don't. There's been quite a bit of snow the last few weeks. Going to try for this weekend and s...

SierraMtnBrits

Wow I have never seen a tricolor gsp before... something new everyday I guess. Good luck with him.

Nice pics Elkhunter. Is that in Utah? Looks like a place we hunted last Winter...

SierraMtnBrits

What a cutie! Looks like he's on the right track with the chukar already!

SierraMtnBrits

These are all really good ideas, thanks. A lot of them we have tried. Like Casper said though, people do come out for the freebies or training days but when you need their help, they don't show up. Casper I did count you as a member, I have to check and see when your membership expires... We are try...

I'm sure there are a lot of dog clubs out there right now having a hard time holding things together with the economy the way it is, a lot of people don't have a lot of spare money to be ding extra things like field trials and hunt tests. My husband and I are about the only club members left of the ...

Is this operator error or do we have a funky unit that needs to go back? OK just to llet you know, and if anyone else has this problem, we figured it out. Last night when my husband came home, he figured out that the day before when he went fishing at the lake, he switched it on to "battery saver" ...

I need some help with the Garmin. As I stated in the previous post, we just got it. It seemed to work great the first day, we put it on the dog and let her run around the yard. It showed where she was going, when she was "on point" and seemed well. We only tested it out for about 10 minutes outside ...

I just got the system for Christmas, and so far, it is working great! I have always had magellen gps units, but the last couple we have had have been nightmares as far as software is concerned. I have a question regarding the size of the collar, though. Is there a way to make it smaller? It says tha...

That's awesome! Congrats!

Here's one of them together to get some

I have a big brit, here's Griffey, he's almost 10, papered, titled, neutered at 7 months because he was already oversized. Regardless of size, he's been a darn fine bird dog. He's 24.5" and 52 pounds. http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/25527/2409818910100336212S425x425Q85.jpg And then there's Bang, a...

When you gotta go, you gotta go! LOL

Great job! Nice lookin pup!

SierraMtnBrits

Thanks Dave, That could have been what was going on. She does have allergies, so maybe since the heater only ran at night and she would only gag in the morning after being inside all night with the heater on, it aggrevated them. Since then, we have had the ducts cleaned, and no more gagging. Could v...

SierraMtnBrits

Yes it was about the time we started running the heater.

My 2.5 year old Brittany bitch seems to be late in coming into season. Her last season started March 9, 09. Her cycles have been long (7-8 months or so) in the past, but she's almost gone 9 months. I watch her very closely every day, she is a house dog. There's no way I could have missed it unless i...

What ever it was, she's better now....

My 2 year old Brittany bitch has been gagging in the mornings now for almost a week. It is not constant. I took her into the vet Friday morning because I started getting concerned. She's eating, drinking, pooping all normally. She doesn't gag or cough when out running, just in the morning when I let...

SierraMtnBrits

Ahhhh.... I see. Hopefully we'll find out soon then. She's still holding out on us.

Here's a wonderful recipe that I usually use elk for but it says you can use bear... Never had bear so I am not sure but it's worth a try....

OK guys, here's a really good one we had last night with the chukar the gunners shot at our hunt test last weekend... Usually I flour the breasts, dip them in egg and then coat them in a mixture of bread crumbs, pepper, garlic & parm cheese. However, didn't have any eggs so I used the recipe for ove...

Congrats!! It's always nice to get those points....
I don't think he's a defect at all. He's very nice looking!

Now I am confused... not too hard to do though!

Helen, how are the babies? No pics yet?

Definately the white vinegar. It helps for the offender not to pee there again as well. Once the white vinegar has dried, of course, it smells like vinegar, so I use febreeze fabric spray to make it smell nice again.

SierraMtnBrits

Welcome! Nice dogs

SierraMtnBrits

That's so precious! There's just somethng priceless about a boy and his pup!

Thanks for the welcomes!

Ezzy, it looks like you've got some nice dogs yourself!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I have posted (like alomst a year!) so I thought I would take a few minutes and re-introduce myself. I live in Northern Nevada with my two chukar hunting Brittanys, Griffey and Bang. Griffey is semi-retired, and Bang is a firecracker of a 2 year old. My husband ...

We also use a SportDog 1800, 2 receivers. LOVE it, never have had a problem with it. Customer service has been excellent. Only thing, the rubber covers where you plug it in to charge it sometimes break off. Customer service has sent us replacements at no charge. Love the collar and reccommend it to ...
