Very nice, glad all went well. Congrats!

Onk

I have side by side 4x8's that I ordered and I was told they would be too small. He would'nt spend that much time in it. Thanks for your replies!

Onk

What is the minimum outdoor kennel size for a dog the size of a Brittany? The dog is inside most times, but would like to get a outdoor kennel for those away from home times!

Onk

When I had my pointers and one lab I used self feeders. The two EP's did real well on them while the Lab tended to eat all the time and pork out. I think it kind of depends on the dog's mind set....I've had some dogs that I think food is all they thought about and would prob. founder with a self fee...

Congrats!

Onk

Sorry for your loss....it is never easy!

Welcome Oscar, I hope you get as much out of this sight as I have the last few months! There are very helpful people on here that seem to be in the know!

I was taking my Brit for his walk tonight and ran into an older couple sitting in their drive enjoying the weather. They asked about my pup and we started talking about bird hunting and bird dogs. Come to find out their son lost two younger/middle age Brits both to cancer and both weeks apart. Their...

Wishing you a fast recovery EZZY!

This is the "everyone is a winner" theory. Same as kids not being allowed to play dodge ball in schools because there is only one winner and the slower "big boned kids", insert picture of me in 8th grade, are not fast enough to win and always get creamed. Or maybe it is more like the everyone finish...

I got several and I mean several sample bags of the food at a outdoor show in KC! The pup loved it and my sons dog loved it, we even did a taste test with our old food and the new ( dogs did the tasting not us) ! So it was not a blind investment of 50 lb bags by any means. I might also add that my f...

Onk

Vman, He never has to pull the CC around like I said its more of a extended leash for our walks since we live in town and there is way too many cars. Other than that he has total run of our double lot in town and our 47 acres out side of town a couple times a week. The only training he is really get...

Onk

Thank you both, I knew someone on here would know the answer!

Filling out my AKC papers for my Brittany pup and am a little confused. What is the differance between orange and white or white and orange. I found where orange and white is standard, white and orange alternative. My pup has the Brittany eye patches and saddle and rear end patches all in orange wit...

Onk

Pup is about 12 weeks old, the CC is just used as a walking tool to let him range out a bit more than with a leash. I don't correct him on the leash, CC, or under foot. He explores when I take him out and I don't use a leash or CC when only in the yard such as play time or potty time. I just kind of...

Onk

Wow...just wow! Humbles a person to read a story like this!

Onk

Very good job on the surprise! Sounds like you have a proud dad! Congrats.

Onk

Do any of you have any helpful pointers on how to keep a pup from being under foot when off the leash or check cord? I know all pups do this to some degree but I am starting to think this pup secretly wants to be a shoe sole!

Onk

I do think she has grown....and I'm betting is spoiled to boot!

Onk

I have never fed puppy food to any dog I have owned until this Brit I just got a few weeks ago. Trying a new food and their feeding plan. So far all is looking great. Coat, growth, energy and stool are all great!

Onk

My Brit is now about 12 wks old and knows no. Has not killed his drive and I think he rolls with it. When in the house is really the only time no gets used much and he has learned the differance between his toys and the granddaughters toys. Outside I don't use it much and just try and keep my mouth ...

Onk

I've had him 3 weeks almost Jason and am find out what you said is correct. He seemed to just wake one morning and be blessed with a super charger strapped to his butt.......how they can change and grow in 3 weeks time. Whole differant looking dog now and sharp as a tack!

Onk

Thumbs up on the pup! Congrats! Wife's in the long run always cave to puppy preasure!

Onk

It's kind of like lilac here not rose's at all!

Onk

Ok maybe I spoke just a bit too early! Warning: be very careful on giving pups treats! Something in the treats uncorks them and it is not a pretty sight! Green,slimey, stinks and really pisses a wife off! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Onk

Who ever first said "Patience is a virtue" must have been a puppy owner!

Onk

Will check this out! Also have been told of one taking place in Columbia Mo. I'll have to check out.

Cheryl, Congrats on the pup and good luck with the post-op dog, hope all is ok!

Onk

Good looking dog Ruth! Congrats and enjoy! As I'm finding out, who needs more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep at a time anyway?!

Onk

Thanks ya'll, he was worth the wait!

Onk

Not sure Ezzy, best way I can describe it is my wife and I were both drawn to him. He you might say had the most people skills out of the bunch!

Onk

After all the snow we have had my buddy could finally get this dog into the field and see what she could do. I'm pleased to report that with in 10 minutes she found and pointed a covey of quail. Not bad Yoder, Rock did good I'd say!

Onk

The day finally came to pick up the pup and I don't think I have quit smiling since. Meet Dexter, he has been a joy thus far with no accidents so far and walking with a lease and check cord after 2 days. He has even retrieved twice just playing around. Thanks again Robbie, the family is loving it so...

Onk

Can you see much as a spectator at one of these if a person was just wanting to see what it was all about?

Onk

Always had EP's but picking up my first Brittany pup tomorrow!

Onk

The time has finally arrived, tomorrow we leave early in the morning to go pick up our pup! Can you say " hells yes"! It has been a long almost 8 weeks for me and even longer for my wife having to listen to me about the pup. Ready or not it's time to start being a bird dog owner once again. I'm just...

Onk

As a Newbie I can tell you that I never even knew what a field trial was. I had heard of field trial dogs and what long range hunters they were, but had never really ever heard much else about them. We were raised with dogs and hunting, nothing we did growing up was for titles, fame or to compete. W...

Onk

Come Sunday it will be a American Brittany. Why: I guess because I've had EP's my whole life and want to try a differant breed and try raising my first bird dog from pup on up. Variety is the spice of life after all, right?

Onk

Jayhawk I am ordering it dropped at my door for $25.90 for the regular and $27.70 for the puppy, that is 50 lb. bags 5 bag minium order with $10. shipping charge. 10 bag order is a $5 shipping charge. That is thru Lambert Vet Supply 800-344-6337. I'm going to give it a try, its close to the same pri...

Update on the Doc's Choice: I got samples of this food in the puppy and regular and did a taste test using my sons, daughters and daughters boy friends dogs by placing the food used by the dogs now and the Doc's down at the same time side by side. All three inhaled the Doc's first thing. Just though...

Onk

Nice Ruth if it had horns I'd shoot it for sure, but not sure if I could use a doe tag on it!?

Onk

I am learning alot by sitting back and just reading all of your post on this topic. I have in no way been scared off of trying to train my first pup by anything anyone has posted on here. I should say I have trained alot of family pets over the years and have always got older EP's that belonged to s...

Onk

Went to the Outdoor and Sport Show in KC a couple of weeks back and talked with alot of differant dog people. From the Brittany Club People, Dog Food peeps, Hunting preserve folks and Dog trainers. Joined the Brittany Club, chose not to feed the food, selected a hunting preserve not far from home to...

Onk

Cheap is pretty Brad when you are talking about a place for birds to stay! Looks good to me, I'll be starting one in the near future.

Onk

It's bad here, I know because I am a rural mail carrier and this is only the third time in 26 years we did'nt run the mail. First two times were ice, this time no mail got thru to us to carrie. The town spent about 18 hrs in total shut down! Wems I did'nt figure you for the husband list type! My bad...

Onk

The unkown I would say. I am going to watch my first one here in Mo. in March so who knows what that will bring. I am getting my pup in a couple weeks and figured I would start learning a little about trials. Heck I did'nt even know they had trials around my area but with the suggestion of a few on ...

Onk

I was in this same spot not so long ago, like 6 wks ago! I had always had EP's and did research and kind of followed my heart and went with the Brittany. I was going back and forth between the French and the American...I'm a patriot type of guy and have been to france in the Navy,( was not impressed...

Onk

Robbie my wife thinks you are right about the dork part. I think she said something like " I swear if I here the word puppy one more time I am going to **@#^(*)(!)_!_!__!*^^%&%^ your arz and send you to the #**&$#** dog house yourself! Other than that she is a real sweetheart!

Onk

Got the date set to pick up the pup, Feb. 13th, so just when I was begining to calm down here I go into hyper drive once again! I swear this new pup stuff has got to be a sickness!

Onk

IMO the decrease in our area is in large part because of the CRP land. What used to be crop fields with brush wind rows is now thick grasses and weeds. This IMO while may have helped some on our pheasant numbers has killed our quail numbers. The CRP is too thick for the Quail and is home to a growin...
