I'm ripping this off from Knine's FB post....but too funny. Speaking of dogs in the park...

!00 acres really isn't large enough to make a big difference unless adjoining property offers good habitat as well. generalities/theory---yes. however we've improved a 103 acre tract in SE Kansas over the last 10 yrs, 1 covey at that time....with improved shrubs, removing timber, adding native buff...

saw these on your facebook - great looking dogs!

southernblues

Heavy heavy heart bud. 15 1/2 yrs is an awesome time/story/memories that you got to live. Love up on them Britts--

RIP in Samson.

I live on a townhouse, so a coop is out of the question. I have been able to train my pointer by catching pigeons on their roost. I have several places I do this at. One is a large metal tank, another is a colvert that has a pipe running through it that the pigeons roost on. I go in with a head lam...

southernblues

is that the female that spent the summer with Jim John? You going to run her in NSTRA after the pups next yr?

southernblues

That ought to be some great pups!

southernblues

I hear good things about that Brady dog out of Godfathers in CO. I see both of your dogs are out of him.? Brady looks to be a big Britt.

southernblues

Travis--- You might try talking to your local preserves or game farms to see if they have hunting competion. A few years back one of the game farms north of me would have 2 man one dog 1/2 hour contests(pointing division and flushing division). They'd put out 5 roosters, your limited to 10 shells a...

Sounds like he is looking for a shoot to retrieve trial circuit. yes - familiar with AF and AKC. can appreciate the guiding principals of those trial but looking for something that measures dog and handler (with gun) and retrieve. know about nstra and looking for something like that only with a tea...

southernblues

Interested in a competition trial/circuit that would be team focused, i.e. - you and a partner and 2 dogs. I've seen shows on TV where the teams literally run all over the countryside with loaded weapons, not my cup of tea but want something as close to the hunting experience when in field. Style/Fi...

I've come to believe that MO is the fescue capital of the world...

hunted 2 hard days this week, 3 dogs, 3 hunters. not one bird flushed. dang

southernblues

I feed 4 cups to my 2 Britts everyday of the Diamond Premium and the groomer says their coat is some of the best they've seen. They never seem to tire in the field and I would say average amount of clean up in the kennels.

southernblues

McCandless Britts out of KY has a male that is tearing it up. I believe it is NLB bloodlines.

The guy in MT referenced has some nice dogs and one that is 6x champ, believe he is out of NLB too. You are gonna find out that NLB was a busy dog outside of running trials....

southernblues

great story! got any pics of the infamous French Britt?

hows the field trials going this fall?

nice onk- love some good Brittany pics.

where in Misery are you from? I was in Springfield for 10 yrs. Love the town and area, no birds, had to move back to KS

southernblues

nice hunt! love the dog.

southernblues

Both my Britts are young, 2, and 1 1/2 yrs old. I admit they both have a lot to learn yet, but man o man, they are incredible dogs. My female spent late May thru early Sept with Jim John at his summer camp. 2 weeks ago we finished 5th in her first NSTRA field trial, and could have done better excep...

quailrunner wrote:I've got 2 sister Brits one with great looking ears and one with lower hangers, guess which one is the better hunter. Like they say" no dog is perfect". And just to make my previous comment clear... I think buddy was a great dog, just not a bench prospect.

Funny you say that.

southernblues

I was referencing Buddy as a popular dog to this forum as one who's ears were closely resembling what I was asking about.

Was trying to get a feel for what was standard -- not meaning to point out Buddy as non-standard dog, but when comparing Britts, what was "the" look.

Question for the Brittany standards police: - My 1.5 yr old Britt's ears are high on the head and flop/lay straight over but I've seen Britts from notable bloodines who's ears are lower on the sides and tend to "hang." Don't know if I'm explaining correctly but thought I would post for feedback. I s...

southernblues

Awesome story Doug. Jealous this early in fall you were out doing manly things with the dogs. I was really worried for that area last spring when all that snow melted and there was so much water in dakotas. So I know them dogs of yours don't miss a beat....so how was the shooting?? Only thing better...

What's the fundamental rules differences between All Age and Gun Dog? One is horseback and other isn't? Gun Dog scored on retrieving?

southernblues

sucks -- take this accident and turn it into something good.

i just lost my male to cancer 2 weeks ago -- i know you're emotions.

southernblues

I didn't mention, but I don't believe the owner of the dog has the original paperwork.

How much are penalties? I don't think it's gonna matter as the guy looking at the dog won't be doing any breeding or need papers. Just curious.

southernblues

I just lost my male Britt due to cancer and one of the local folks in hometown reached out to me about taking their female Brittany. I've got a young female Britt that is going to take all my time this fall but after talking with the guy, he has a good hunting dog out of Tequilla's Joker crossed wit...

I got to try out my little Flip Ultra HD camera in the field yesterday for the first time, and it works pretty good! I'm not a great camera man though and I was hunting with some inexperienced friends so I had a lot of other duties aside from aiming the camera correctly :wink: Here's a few of the v...

My usual bird guy is all out...looking for 40+ chuckar for training weekend on April 15th. Thanks all.

here is my cp38 plan. sorry for hijacking -- will start another thread

southernblues

But the program is still the farmer setting a price for what he will rent them the ground for and if the FSA thinks it is too high they won't accept it. So no new acres even though the plan is available. Also no one can sign up unless they have a crop history over the last five years. IN OTHER WORD...

Deseeker who is a member here knows these dogs well as they are both out of Bourbon XIII who came out of one of his Penny females. I don't think Two Hearts and Chug were in same litter but were definitely out of same parents. Just thought it was worth mentioning--- a lot of discussions here speak to...

southernblues

Got my latest copy of the American Brittany Club magazine and was admiring the cover. RU-JEMs Touch of Bourbon and Celebration's Two of Hearts were the 2 dogs on the cover. I'm fairly new to the sport so my archives and experience are lacking... I see/hear of HOF dogs that produce great champions, b...

it's been a dry fall. im in SEKS and we got rain for the first time in 40 days today. crops are 90-95% out. birds will have to fly back into crp and native grass for cover...you should slaughter them

Assuming it's allergies I am giving him some benadryl (started today). His left eye has what looks like mucus discharge (light green color) and sneezes about 6-8 times every 10 mins or so. Sometimes its an hr that goes by before he sneezes. Just started yesterday when we were working on some chukar ...

All,

Everything seems to be on the mend. Must have been bee sting or he ran into to something. Swelling is down and all looks good.

Thanks for the replies -- I really appreciate the wisdom on the forum especially in sensitive times when your best bud is hurt.

Here's another shot.

southernblues

I let Sam out when I mow. We have 5 acres and pond in back yard and he loves to help me cut grass. We've only been here for 2 months, haven't seen snakes but SE Kansas and ponds I know that Cottonmouths aren't unusual. It's been about 4 hrs since I noticed the swelling -- it's not getting any worse....

southernblues

Checking out your pics -- nice! I love the one overlooking the city. Where was this at?

southernblues

Thanks for the feedback.

I've turned him loose in the country behind the house several times yesterday to keep it limber and moving so hopefully the swelling stays to a minimum. Got the triple antibiotic on it -- doesnt seem to be favoring.

Pulled the rebar --- won't happen again!

southernblues

So my 15 month old and I are playing catch in back yard with the ball. Behind our yard/subdivision is 20 acres of cropland with some weeds/grass separating me from the corn.
