I am in the works of getting my first Brittany pup sometime at the end of this year. I've been doing some research about the breed and so far have learned a lot. My last dog was a chocolate lab she wasnt trained to be a bird dog but retrieved like a champ. She was mostly a family dog. I decided to go with a Brittany because of their size, energy, and eagerness to please. I want a family dog and a hunting/fishing buddy. I hope to learn some training techniques from the folks here on this site and maybe in the future I will be able to pass it on. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the board, this is a great place. Perhaps a visit to one of your local Bird Dog clubs, like the Arizona Pointing Dog Club (http://www.azpdc.org) could provide some of the insight and techniques that you requested as well. I know it was probably the best move I made and has developed many relationships as a result....

Training with mo is a pretty good one. But little fyi all the books out there won't teach you how to read a dog ..go check out some methods now so when you get your pup you will already have somehands on

I will take you up on that offer. Maybe in a few weeks. I'll call you to see when the best time is. Thank you.
