Finally got my first gun (to go with my first hunting season and my first hunting-dog

). Mossberg, O/U, 20ga. Very pretty, can't wait to actually shoot it !

Breton13

Posted a couple of pics. under the Puppy pointing thread.

Breton13

Sorry, didn't mean you in particular

Should have put "the" GSP's. I would never call your pretty red dog a GSP! And again, no offence to GSPs, they're pretty too. Can I dig myself any deeper into this hole...

:roll:
(I promise I'll read the posts better before I reply

)

Breton13

Very nice paintings!

Breton13

We're just trying to catch up to you GSP's. Here's my contribution :wink: http://www.gundogforum.com/album/d/967-1/1st+point_+or__.jpg At 8 weeks Next two from this past Sunday http://www.gundogforum.com/album/d/6768-1/September06+046.jpg http://www.gundogforum.com/album/d/6770-1/September06+047.jpg...

She did!

Pen was black, but luckily my carpet has patterns of different colors. Can still see it though! Must get stainremover before husband comes home on Saturday......

Breton13

Aaaww, so true. And don't forget the ink-pen Penny stole today. She's now tri-cloroed with black front legs. Thank goodness I caught her before she actually ate the ting..... :roll:

Breton13

Hello, and welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy it as much as i do

Breton13

I'd buy one regardless. Just saying the option would be nice, since I already have the GDF sticker on my car with a GSP on it.....

Breton13

Breed would not be a deciding factor, but it would be nice with a choice.

Breton13

She's my photo-hound. I'm just waiting for her to start saying "cheese"!

Breton13

She will actually vade in the water by herself now, but not in this cold-spell we've been having. And yes, I know the birds are important. They're not limitited here, it's my time in the field that's my problem. One kennel I contacted offered to put birds out for her at no cost, as it won't be consi...

Breton13

Ok, to get ya'll back on track... I've looked at a couple of kennels in the area, and some look promising (thank you all for the sugestions). So to my next question: should I sign up and pay for training while I'm at it? She'll be 8 months at the time of boarding. What kind of training do you pro's ...

Breton13

I had the same question a while back, so there should be a couple of threads on the subject. I'll see if I can find some.

Breton13

Some pics from today. Getting cold here in ND, so we're playing to stay warm.... http://www.gundogforum.com/album/d/6685-1/September06+040.jpg Nice retrieve! http://www.gundogforum.com/album/d/6687-1/September06+041.jpg Not so nice retrieve..... http://www.gundogforum.com/album/d/6689-1/September06+...

Took Penny out for her first "hunting trip" last weekend. It was very windy, and the birds were jumpy, but she did find and point some birds! Didn't shoot though, because when she found the birds, NDBD's new pup was tagging along. Didn't get very good pictures, but here they are anyways... Do you sm...

Breton13

Great looking pup. Looks like you have your hands full !!

Breton13

Great pics, and great scenery!

Breton13

Well, I have Rick and Ronnie Smith's Puppy Developement DVD. Problem is I live on an Air Force Base, and after a couple of hours of whimpering, the cops would surely be at my door :oops: (Man, I need my own land....) I do let her quiet down before I let her in though. Ususally takes a couple of 10 m...

Breton13

She whines outside when we're not there with her. She's in the house in her kennel when we're gone, and she's fine. Seems she only whines when she thinks we can hear her, or if she's outside by herself. Very much a social dog. Squirt bottle inside might work, but she can see me coming from all angle...

Breton13

Love those brit-pups (of course)! Can't wait to see more pics and hear the stories!

Breton13

I'm so sorry, I know it's hard. They never stay long enough, do they.
My condolances.

Fay

Breton13

So here's my new problem. Penny won't shut up! She's fine in her kennel if she can see us, or if she can't see us or hear us. However, if she can't come with us (example basement), or if she can hear us get up at night, or if she's outside without us, she howls and whimpers and pulls and digs. If we...

Breton13

I'm can attest to that, first hand. We've been short on bird training this summer, so my 5 month old Brit is basically just running in circles trying to figure out what she's supposed to do.... I plan to remedy this, but trust me, birds are the training tool!!! I'm seeing it with my dog!!! (it's my ...

Breton13

ROTFL! You guys are a riot!
Well, now that I have a gun, there's at least one more worse marks-(wo)man out there... I think I'll just tag along the first time, without the dog and the gun. Next weekend, maybe?

Breton13

Yes, NDBD is my source for all things birddog and hunting (and good restaurants). I'm just seing what else is out there as far as kennels. First time leaving her with strangers, you know....

Breton13

We were looking into names for hunting and nature, but ended up with "My last Penny" (Penny for short) because of the gas-cost to go pick her up

Breton13

I need to board my dog this winter for about 3 weeks. I'm shopping around, and need some advice. 1. Any good kennels in the ND MN area (I'm in Grand Forks)? 2. What's a decent price for boarding a dog for that long (good facilities)? 3. What should I do to prepare? My pup will be 8 months by the tim...

Breton13

OK, so here's todays stupid rookie-question. I'm considering trading my SUV for a truck, but what do you guys do when driving in the winter? My little Brit still would fit comfortably in the cab, but what with bigger dogs?
Just wondering

Breton13

Congrats, way to go! Almost there...!

Breton13

Great! Congrats on your CH!

Breton13

Welcome! Enjoy the forum and your dog!

Breton13

Congrats!

Breton13

Glad to hear he's doing well!

Breton13

Aaawww! Gotta love those puppy-pics!

Breton13

Great pics, and an adorable pup!

Breton13

Well, I know the Dam's owner does not show/trial his dogs. He only uses them for hunting. Which was fine by me, being my first dog and all, and I was just looking for a hunting partner and a family dog. It's now that I read more and learn more, that the interest in trials and lines have spiked. I ap...

Breton13

Hello and welcome.
I'm just starting out myself, and I'm loving it. I have a 4 month old Brittany, and I'm planning to start hunting this fall. I'm sure i'll learn more from the dog, than her from me, but I can't wait to get started.

Enjoy the forum, I know I am!

Breton13

Yes, very cute picture!

Breton13

I guess I don't get out much, since I have to read on the forum what happens in my town. So glad no-one got hurt, people horses or dogs!

Breton13

Glad to see I'm not alone! Yestderday I caught Penny standing on the coffee table ! We had a "chat", but my cats are making the training on staying of the furniture very difficult :twisted: Penny's allowed on the couch, but my cats think boundries are "beneath them" :roll: My older daughter (9) is o...

Breton13

Welcome and enjoy!

Breton13

congrats!

Welcome and enjoy!

Happy anniversary! (belated.....)

What is the best way, or where is the best place to research your dogs lineage? I'd like to learn more about my dog's lines, but also for future refrence for future dogs I'm sure I'll buy.

All input appreciated.

Breton13

I'm probably learning more from my dog than she is from me

, but we're doing allright. I whish we could do more bird-training, because she's very smart on the obedience part. She surprises me all the time on how quickly she picks up on things. Now I just have to keep up...

Breton13

Welcome!
This is also my first gundog and my first time in the hunting-scene, so if you don't ask the "stupid"questions, I probably will. Let me tell you, I have learned so much from this forum.
Where in NC are you? My in-aws are in New Bern.

Breton13

My dog is in-doors. Where I live right now, it's my only option.

Breton13

I guess what I'm getting at is for instance when to start obedience, to not hinder the natural ability/ hunting drive. If you're only training obedience, agility etc. it seems you only have that part to concentrate on. With hunting dogs it's the bird intorduction, water introduction, when and if to ...
