I am new to the forums and glad I found this site as there is some great information on here.
I have a 2 year old Brittany, his name is "Trigger". We are working on our yard work and progressing well. He seems to have a good desire to hunt and a good knack for finding birds. Most of our native birds here consist of Ruffed grouse and a few sharptails. Too cold in the winter for pheasants to survive. Grouse have had a couple of mild winters and dry springtime weather, so it seems that the numbers are up....
Looking forward to posting more and participating in the forums..
here is a pic of trigger after a grouse hunt last fall.

and intently looking for his quarry in the tree.
