P>S. Has he been dewormed? He was positive for roundworms, and he is currently passing them. He was dewormed at six weeks, and he was taken to the vet at eight weeks, and the vet told me that he was negative for them now, but I'm still seeing live segments in his stool. Would this mess with his moo...

Put him in his crate for two hours then come get him out....he'll like you. Show him a bird....he'll like you. Play with a wing on a string for three minutes a day....he'll like you. No training though....no sit and stay at all. That's a mild form of punishment. No biting is all I'd be teaching. Be...

cptn

Which way do you guys recommend stopping the biting?

A firm "no?" The yelping method? The walking away method?

I haven't spoken with her yet. I wanted to ask those here to see if I have anything to worry about before contacting her.

I've had dogs before, but many of my dogs have been an older age when I got them. So, I'm a little new at puppies, and I'm even more new at gun dogs. As I mentioned before, four days ago, I finally took home my 8 week old, male, American Brittany puppy, July. When I visited him at six weeks, he was ...

We're not phone-talkers, so I shot her an e-mail yesterday! She should reply by today or tomorrow, and as soon as she does, I will definitely let you guys know!

I have a vet record book for my Britt pup, and I wrote down "you-know-whats." :]

Neutered at six weeks!! Waaaaaay to young. You did the right thing by walking away I haven't walked yet! He wasn't neutered. I don't remember an incision! If he was and I missed it, I will walk, but the most logical thing I can think of would be what was said earlier! I hope the vet was just making...

I thought about that, too, but I could have sworn she said "done." Maybe she just talks weird.

I was embarrassed to ask at first, but since you guys are having the same reaction I did, I think I am going to just ask her. I see her this Sunda.

Sounds like she neutered him?

That's what it sounds like! But he wasn't, and definitely not because he's still just a baby!

I get his vet records soon. I will let you know!

cptn

The other day when I was visiting my Brittany pup, the breeder told me that the day before, he received his firstt puppy shot, a dewormer, and then she paused, gave me a sly look, and said, "...and his you-know-whats" done. I nodded and smiled, acting like I knew what she was talking about, but I ha...

Lovely pup!

cptn

Beautiful!

Also, Id love to see photos of your britt!

cptn

If he barks only when you put him in his kennel, he is probably just homesick. I've had a pup cry for nearly two weeks! By the middle of next week, he should quiet down. Make his kennel inviting. Put some safe toys and treats in there, special ones he can only find in his kennel. Also, never go to t...

Thank you, guys! :DD

I will definitely look into those, because I think he is going to be beautiful, and I, for sure, want to show him off!

When training dogs of all ages, I combine treats, clicker, and vocal/physical praise. I'm not professional, but I've trained a LOT of dogs, and it works wooooonders! My method: 1. If the dog is new to the clicker, I load the clicker by having short sessions of me clicking andd giving a small, delici...

I love male dogs. I love my girls, too, but I'm female and seem to have always bonded more with a male, canine companion. However, there is one shortcoming: the humping. I'm aware that not all dogs do it, and I know some female dogs that get into I, too. I, also, know that it is a natural thing, but...

Yes? No?

Tomorrow morning, I am trekking up to northern North Carolina to pick out my new male, American Brittany! He will be six weeks tomorrow, and then I returning just two weeks later to take him home for good! Just thought I would let you know, and thank everyone for the wonderful advice many of you hav...

cptn

Congratulations! Post lots of pictures!

I'm in the same boat as you! I get my new American Brittany pup May 20th, and all I do in my spare time is stare at his puppy pictures and look up training techniques and Youtube videos! I'm a mess. :]

cptn

Dogs are curious creatures, and where I live, we have a surplus of snakes, particularly copperheads.

And we're in a black widow/brown recluse expansion area.

What can you do to prevent bites?

If it happens and you're in a field, what do you do?

Has it ever happened to you?

I know! I'd buy him in a heartbeat.

It'd be even more ironic if she were a girl with that...pattern.

brittpups1.jpg brittpups2.jpg Which pattern do you favor? My favorite is the female's pattern. She's one the with a round spot on the right side of her face, and the rest of the most white pups are boys. I wish she was a boy! I'm choosing from the boys, and I love each one's pattern. The one with h...

Thanks, guys!

I am going to wait until 6 weeks to make my decision.

So, to be safe, just stick with healthy dog foods with the appropriate puppy formula instead of strictly going grain-free? And yes, plenty have been tested to insure that the dog gets what it needs, but many times, it is the bare minimum, filled with empty grains, corn, and little to no real meat or...

Angus, I am getting an American Brittany! Thank you for your insight! And Ezzy, understandable! However. I have simply read that rotation allows for your dog to get some nutrients that one food may not have; I had no intention of humanizing my dog. Though I will say, he will definitely be a big part...

I am getting a puppy in a few weeks, and I have been researching what and how to feed him. My current dog is on Wellness Core Grain-free. She is two years old, and we've discovered rotating dog foods, and we want to get her started. We switched from her last food to this food with ease. We started t...

Hey, guys! As I've said before in my other threads, I am getting an orange and white, male, American Brittany! Today, my breeder sent me photos of the three boys to choose from, and one of the boys is the runt of the litter. In the pictures, they are about a week and a half old, but now they are abo...

My condolences. : [

cptn

I'd give her a lift. :]

Even though she is young and spritely now, continued jumping into the truck bed over the years can do a number of the hips and joints.

cptn

When are you getting your puppy?

I'm assuming you're going with French! Post pics here when you take your pup home! : ]

cptn

I nearly teared up looking at your photos of Buck from the first hunt and the last hunt.

Looks like he was a hard working, nice looking dog, and he lived a long life. Condolences! I know how it is.

cptn

Ruffshooter, I love the quote in your signature. :]

That's one of my favorite things about training, aside from the bond you and your dog share while you learn together.

Buster is a great-looking French!

Hunter has my favorite look when it comes to Brittanys. Love.

Airedales are, indeed, resilient. I live the mountains, and there has been one wandering the streets for years. He'd come to my doorstep, and I'd try to invite him in and find him a good home multiple times. However, he'd never come in. I'd put peanut butter, cheese, chicken pieces, everything, and ...

Niki is adorable! Looks like she's coming along well! Haha, Karen!

I find that hard to believe, ...

What other breeds of dogs have you owned and love, aside from our beloved gun dogs? Personally, I like them all, but I'm partial to big dogs (especially herding types), even if the love of my life at the moment is a three pound, prissy Yorkshire Terrier. She was purchased against my will, but I ador...

I have 2 lovey GSP's but LOVE photographing all breeds. Below are some pics of a young Brittany at a Rock Tavern, NY NAVHDA training day last fall. He was a handsome and talented dog. He came from Ronnie Smith's kennel I believe and he is owned by Rick Affuso. http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h4...

Yesterday, I made a thread called "I want to see your Brittany!" in General Chat and asked people to post pictures of their French and American Britts.

Lots of people have posted pictures, and you may get an idea looking at them! Just a though. :]

Good luck in your Britt investigations!
