Southland's Duke of Hearts

[westexasrepublic]

This is my new addition to the pack. He is a male French Brittany, as apposed to my female 4 yr old American Brittany who I have been working with since a pup. Duke is 10 months and growing, and I hope to update with hunting pics soon. Any advice or info on the difference in training or in general for French Britts over American Britts?

They train the same as any birddog. They are both Brittanys, but ones family came over before the other one's did. Have fun with him and I am sure you will enjoy taking two to the field.

Welcome to the cult. Train the same. Birds first, obedience, gun intro with birds, hunt, formal train in the spring.

Where did you get yours at?

You will find a ton of hunt in your new pup.

Have fun. congrats.

Ive wasted no time and got him in the field yesterday, I wanted to see his natural instinct and let him watch my other dog work. He was reluctant at first, but then like something just clicked, and he was off...I didn't expect much since it was his first time, but it was funny when I set some birds on the tailgate of the truck and walked away, only to turn around and seen him bringing one of those birds to me. It is hard to describe how I felt knowing he was trying to please me already.

BTW I got him from a friend who bought him for his dads birthday. Of course it was one of those cases where someone wanted a bird dog but didn't want to put the time or money into him(some people think hunting dogs come out of boxes with instructions). Sadly the owner did what most people do and give up. My friend called and said he had this dog in his backyard for 4 months and didn't want it. I gladly took him out of the gross muddy chain link backyard of heck.

That's one well blessed dog to have someone like you take him home. Enjoy him. ( He's smiling in the picture. )
