Need help logging in on the breeders page. It has been a while since I was able to do so. I have a kennel listed, but I need to update. I have tried the lost password, but never get anything, so I don't know if I am using the wrong user name. I thought it was the same as the username I use on the fo...

Where I am in ND, the areas I hunt I can see anyone within probably close to a mile. I hunted yesterday with a couple from Alaska that came to see the dogs. They got a Sharptail. We saw some people walikg a a field a mile away, and I know they saw us. We just stay out of their way.

Come on out for a day to hunt. I think you might be surprized how well these little dogs will do up against a big brute like you have!

The breeder I referred to in an earlier post is Patrick Morin. I visited his kennel while picking up 5 dogs when I was in France a few years ago. He has a heck of an operation, and was very gracious. He only speaks French, but luckily I had someone traveling with me that spoke a limited amount of Fr...

As usual this is devolving into the same old arguement, sad. Some people think that just because people such as myself, who is in the French Brittany world, and others that I won't name, as they don't need to be pulled into this if they don't wish, in the American Brittany world, think that the dogs...

ohmymy111

You can ask most people that know me, I think It is a game when I have a dog win, and it is a game when I have a dog that doesn't win. The latter is more common that the former, as it is with any dog. I think that Field Trials are important, but are they an accurate judgement of hunting in a dog? Pe...

ohmymy111

The evaluation for hunting is done via Field Trials. The National Club when bringing over someone, looks for someone that can Judge ring and Field. This year Jean Carpentey, who is not only a Judge in the ring and show, but also is a trainer of Judges came over. He was joined by Serge Guilbert, who ...

I would also ask, that please do not think I am the definiative authority on French Brittany's I am far from that. There are people that know more than I do, and people that know less.

ohmymy111

There are some differences, such as I have a prefernce for Roan colored dogs. I have never produced a clear coated dog, and most likely never will. But to say I can look at a dog and tell you what kennel it came from, no, I can't do that, perhaps with the occasional exception of some of the dogs tha...

ohmymy111

Yes I have been to France to compete, only just once, and once to buy a dog. I plan on going back to compete the next time with a dog I produced. And yes Vern did well. The French were very nice. They were tickled pink that an Amrican would come all that way to compete in their trial. Even in the tr...

ohmymy111

BTW in this country the French Brittany kennel operations are smaller than some of the American Brittany ones. But in France that is not necessarily true. I visited a breeder who had 100 dogs. He produces a LOT of dogs every year. Most people here, hear 100 dogs, and immediately say puppy mill. That...

ohmymy111

I agree that the lines diverged, I suspect primarily as this country was looking for bigger running dogs, that could compete with Setters and Pointers. Will this happen again? Perhaps, but the breeders who are serious about it in this country, which is A LOT of the breeders, are also serious about "...

Vern's pedigree can be seen here. http://www.perfectpedigrees.com/4genview.php?id=471 Vern is a medium build dog, very powerful. He is 19 1/2" at the withers, and weighs in at 36lbs

ohmymy111

Hello, I breed, train and compete French Brittany's. I guess I wonder what you mean by soft? They don't need the harsh discipline maybe some of the other breeds need for training and if you use harsh methods theyt can shutdown.. They are eager to please and as such, frequently pick up training quick...

ohmymy111

If you are interested in French Brittany's, I have 2 litters planned. The first is Vern and Chloe. Chloe is in season right now, and should be bred most likely sometime in the next 10 days. Puppies will arrive sometime towards the end of the year to the beginning of the new year, depending on when s...

ohmymy111

I did think you were a putz, Just Kidding LOL. It was great meeting you. I always feel better when I meet someone that is getting a puppy from me.

I hope you have a chance to come out and hunt with the crew and myself one of these days, we would love to have you out!!

ohmymy111

I am also right handed and left eye dominate. I am lucky that I can shoot left handed just as easily as right handed. BUT if you don't have a neutral cast gun, which most S X S are not neutral, then good luck shooting left handed. So I bought a easy-hit sight. I thought what the heck, for as little ...

ohmymy111

Good morning, I haven't advertised this litter at all yet. This is the first I have spoken of my plans, except with my friend Bill, who owns cCotton. So no resrevations have been taken at all. Yes the $200.00 goes towards the cost of the puppy. If everthing goes the way I anticipate it will, I will ...

ohmymy111

I am planning on breeding Vern to Chloe, next she comes into season. I am also planning on breeding Ardoise to a dog named Alan de L'Escarbot, Cotton, that belongs to a friend of mine. Cotton is starting to develop a very good reputation. He has done well in the Show ring, Best of Breed once, and Be...

I didn't take it that way at all. I have been hunting in Montana for 5 years now. Started going there before I moved to ND. So I know where to go there. I am just learning where to go in ND

ohmymy111

Because where I hunt in Montana, I see a lot more birds, especially huns. I really don't care about pheasants. I will shoot them, but prefer Huns and Sharptail.

ohmymy111

Hello, I would like to think I am a reputable breeder. I am in Sykeston ND, so I am about 2 hours for you. I like to think I have some pretty good dogs, and thus far it has been born out in Field Trialing, Shows and Hunt Tests. My dogs all hunt a lot, so they are definately proven in the field as we...

Hey Dan, I would like to stop by sometime. I live in ND now, as my job was outsourced in Feb. So I decided the heck with the IT world, bought a house in the middle of nowhere ND for 10K and moved out here in July. I am planning on coming into the cities sometime next week. Not sure what day yet, but...

Is anyone using a Water Heater like the site that Scott suggested. Seems like a less costly approach to a boiler. I would be looking at off-peak electric or propane to fire the water heater/boiler. Will have to try and see which is more cost effective. Also my building will be 30' X 28'. Not all wil...

ohmymy111

I am going to be putting up a kennel building in the near futre. I am looking at using in floor heating, but really don't know anything about it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

ohmymy111

I was at a Hunt Test at Kelly Farms in Minnesota, and spoke with someone about a guy that does dog transport. He gave me the phone number, but of course I managed to lose it. The Dog Transport guys number was a 701 area code, so he is in ND. Does anyone know who it is? I am looking to contact him.

I have hunted Monatana the last 3 years, and went twice last year. I have always had pretty good luck on the BMAs. But like all hunting, it all depends on where you are going. What part of the State are you going to? Since I will be going earlier than you this year, I might be persuaded to give you ...

ohmymy111

The last litter is doing very well. I kept one of the males, Darius, and he is really impressing people. He is 18 months, and I have had bigger name breeder ask me about using him for stud. He has started running in competition in UKC and is doing pretty well. Has a ways to go to fill dad's shoes. T...

ohmymy111

You just happen to be in luck, I am expecting a litter in April from Vern and Adrdoise.

Should I reserve one for you?? LOL

ohmymy111

Hey Arlette, did you end up getting a pup from Tony Bua?

ohmymy111

Vern had 35.55 miles in a 3 hour run averaging 11.85 mph. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have belived it, it was in Montana in the plains. Typical is about 22 miles for the dogs in a 3 hour run.

ohmymy111

I think you should try dying Jovi purple. I bet he could sneak up on Grouse and Woodcocks better that way

ohmymy111

I own 6 FBs at the moment. They are great companions when not hunting, very good with children and a pleasure to be around. I can not comment on the temperment on Griffons, have not been around that many, but I am sure Griffon owners will tell you they are great dogs. As far as in the field, mine wi...

Hello,

I am a French Brittany guy, but I have been to the WI Wiem Clubs Hunt Test the last 4 years. I would suggest contacting them. It is the Northstar Weimaraner Club. Here is a link to their website.

ohmymy111

I have run Vern in many of the UKC Pointing Dog Field Trials, and am just starting to run Chloe and Darius in them. I like the format for the most part. In Liberated Bird Trials every bird is gunned on course, and they run Wild Bird trials too, in fact for two of the titles in "Open Class" they requ...

I took Chloe into the vet while I was in Montana. She had gone into shock after starting to overheat, and I cooled her down too fast. Her heart rate was at 160. The Vet told me an athletic dog normally has a heart rate of about 90. When I picked her up, after they brought her body temp back up, it h...

I just got back in from hunting in Montana. Limited on Sharptails. Got a number of Huns as well. I would say from what I saw, the numbers are pretty good. I talked to a guy who lives in Circle, who said that he has seen a lot of birds this year. Tlaked to a rancher that said he is seeing a lot of bi...

ohmymy111

Heading to Montana next week to do some hunting. Any word on the bird population this year? Will be in the Livingston area, and then the Scobey area.

I am pretty sure D&D Birds has quail available. He is in Watkins, which is out Hwy 55 west of Annandale.

I have 5 EBs at the moment, and will be getting a pup in Sept. The dogs are what you make of them. Are they All Age type dogs? I don't think so. The most Vern and Chloe range out is about 1/4 mile when I am hunting in Montana where it is wide open. I expect my dogs to head out typically 100 to 200 y...

ohmymy111

I would go find a breeder or two, of each breed you are looking at. See the dogs work in the field, and see if the style of work is what you are looking for. I know Brittany's, and in my case French Brittany's are great dogs in the house. They love to be around people, and while they are excited whe...

ohmymy111

While I would be surprised that he would do it even after she is fixed, and can never have a cycle, dogs surprise me all the time. Has he been bred? Vern got wiser about what he was smelling after he had been bred a couple of times, and now doesn't get concern himself too much, until just befopre th...

ohmymy111

Only 2 tics on him and 1 on you? boy I wish I lived where you do. Everytime I go out, I take at least 6 off each of the dogs, and 5 or 6 off me. I am very careful with where I run the puppies until they are old enough for Frontline, and the Lymes vaccine, and check them over as soon as we are done. ...

ohmymy111

I would be surprised it would be any female. Vern and Darius do it, but only when there is a female in heat in the immediate vicinity. They will do it around other females, but there is still a female in heat somewhere else close by. Is he a young dog? A young dog will tend to do it a little more, w...

I have 4 French Brittanys right now, getting two more in March, and I will be keeping a female out of Ardoise, when she has her puppies in April. Vern is a once in a lifetime dog. He quickly learns all the different birds he encounters. I started Grouse hunting this year, and in his first run in the...

Here is what the French Epagneul Breton Club requires for there "trialer" Title. The last line is very different to what we expect in the US. I would like to see the same basic requirement in the US, but I know that is a pipe dream. In addition for a dog in France to recieve it's pedigree, it has to...

Hello texscala,

What kennel is Arrow out of. Her face looks a like a St Lubin or Keranlouan dog.

ohmymy111

Hey Derrick!

I take it Jovi is doing well. Are you going to run him in the Hunt Tests in April? I would love to see him!!

I took all the dogs to GA 2 weeks ago, and Vern won the Open Liberated trial, so i would have to say things are going well
