Happy Day!
Happy Day!
Today, at 15 weeks of age, I was finally able to bring Tucker home from the breeders! He had a bit of a rough start when the dam bit him and left 17 puncture marks in the poor little fella. Then, the infection started breaking out in different parts of his skin, so he wound up with over 27 open sores. The breeder and his family did a great job along with their vet of getting him healed up, but it took a lot longer than any of us expected.
Tucker has a great personality, and endured the daily baths and scab removals, along with two surgeries without complaint. He still looks a little rough where the hair hasn't started to grow back in, and he wouldn't win any conformation titles with the scars he'll carry, but I wasn't planning on that anyway. He is a bundle of energy and the pics aren't very good, because I couldn't get him to stand still very long. I want to get pics of his feet. They are the biggest swim paddles I've ever seen on such a little pup.
Looking forward to many happy years with our newest EB!

When I scrolled down and saw that pic of Tucker looking up at me with those eyes...
I immediately though of the the lyric from the Janis Joplin song " Don't you need some body to love??"
I think Tucker found his somebody. Enjoy.

Thanks! My hubby works with a guy whose dad is a vet. He said it's not that uncommon for mom's to attack their pups. We're not sure, but we think she may have reacted violently to the smell of the strange person's t-shirt (mine) we put with him. This was only her second litter, so she's relatively inexperienced.gittrdonebritts wrote:beautiful french Britt ! can't believe the Dam would bite him that hard though.

Thanks, and he was. But I was green with envy when you all started bringin' your pups home last week, and he should've been with me the first of January. Now I can happily comment on all the cute pups!GUNDOGS wrote:Enjoy the journey..i bet hes worth the wait!!!...ruth

Re: Happy Day!
Thanks! He has every possible marking for a French Brittany I think. Solid black, solid white, white with black ticking, white with orange ticking on his legs, a black/white roan on a portion of his back, and on his muzzle which makes him look like a wizened old man already.rkappes wrote:Tucker is a handsome little fella!

Great looking pup - I love those EB's that look like they almost have some heinz57hound in them - gives 'em personality.
Heck the rest of this guy's life will be easy from here on out, just chasing, playing and sleeping.
Congrats.
