Thank you very much but, that's not a Britt, it's an E. Setter!
Im pretty sure that dog doesnt have a tail...

Probably get a little better natural retrieve with a brit, but they don't have that beautiful 12 oclock tail while on point.

What are the two breeds like indoors and around kids as far as average tendencies go?

You have never met my Brittanys. The oldest is 7 and still likes to play, hunt and sit on my lap.

Purely a observation. When have Britts become considerably larger than male GSP and Pointers? The picture of the final 4 at AKC Nationals looks odd.

Thats what you get when you forget there is a standard and are willing to breed to anything as long as it can run and find a bird. That is a shame. No way can you say it is a Britt. I was really impressed when they annouced the winners and we had three breeds represented. But you just can't brag that a Britt placed after looking at that.
