Hey I am new

[SniCkercola]

Hello my name is Brandon and I am a cattle farmer in southern Illinois. I currently have no bird dog but i have had a couple in the past. I am finally able to devote time and money into doing what I have always wanted to do witch is trial and breed bird dogs. I have chosen the Brittany for my breed and am looking for any links to clubs or breeders in or around southern Illinois. I look forward to learning from all of you and maybe helping where I can on this great site. thanks.

Hi Brandon. Welcome to GDF. I'm a GSP guy myself, but my brother just picked up a beautiful Britt from a very respected breeder up here in Northern Illinois. Took him out last week and put him on his first birds at 20 weeks old. We were very impressed. Good luck with your search, and I'm sure you will get a bunch of help on this forum.

Hi Brandon, welcome to GDF! Here's a link to the American Brittany Club: http://clubs.akc.org/brit/
On the homepage under Inside ABC is a list of Regional Clubs. There's a few in your area, and they can get you hooked up on all kinds of events & breeders in your area. Good luck, and again, welcome!

thanks for the welcome and the link. I am very lucky there are quite a few clubs within driving distance.
