Gun Dog Forum

I would love to see everyone's Brittany, French or American!

I am getting my American Brittany puppy soon (this May), and the more I learn about them, the more they are becoming one of my favorite dogs. I have basically memorized all the Brittanys on Google Search, haha.

I'd also love to know about your dog's personalities, quirks, strengths, and weaknesses! This would be a great place to show off.

Who doesn't love talking about your dog? Or...who doesn't love talking about their Brittany? ;]

Mine's only 4 days old so I don't have anything to share. Can't wait to see a pic myself!

Girlfriend just adopted this big baby for me for my birthday. Hunter is full of energy but a lover and a couch and bed hog!

My 12 week old frenchie Ellie. Fired up... But can shut it down quick. Like what I see so far ... At the very least she has dads heart!

Hah, mine is two weeks today! I haven't even seen mine either. I get to meet him at six weeks, and then pick him up at 8-9 weeks. I've seen the dam and sire, though. Beautiful!

What kind of Britt are you getting, French or American? Boy, girl? :]

Ugh, these dogs are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing the photos, guys. I'm hoping my American looks as beautiful as Hunter when he gets older! :]

I love Ellie's markings! She is a cutie.

American, and it's a boy.

My dads EB Georgia from L'Etoile du Nord Kennels. The most natural hunting dog I've ever seen. She has a motor that doesn't quit, if you didn't stop her from hunting she'd go until she killed herself. I didn't know what people mean't when they said a dog was all bird dog, I know now. Even though she's a beast in the field she's a lover around the house and great with kids. She has a fun personality. Britts are my favorite, I just love'm!



Pointing Prairie Chickens @ around 3 months

Smile Georgia!

Probably my favorite photo of Georgia

This is "Belle" at 2-3 months old. She is pointing a bluebottle.





The steadiness to flush !

Haha, love that first picture. :]


All of these pictures are great! Keep 'em coming! I'm at work/school, and hanging out and looking at photos is making the time go by way, way fast.

We all know that Brittanys are best. All these dogs are good lookin'. Karen your dogs are gorgeous and Chukar, it would be an honor to kick setter tail in NSTRA with a son of Sonny one day.

Sonny is perfection!

I'm pretty sure one of the photo's above must be an EP / brit mix. Odd looking Brittany either way.

I have 2 lovey GSP's but LOVE photographing all breeds. Below are some pics of a young Brittany at a Rock Tavern, NY NAVHDA training day last fall. He was a handsome and talented dog. He came from Ronnie Smith's kennel I believe and he is owned by Rick Affuso.

Thanks for sharing, Byrd! I am in love with those pictures, and that Brittany is a beaut. You are a great photographer! I also love to photograph dogs.

You couldn't possibly be talking about my Blaze dog (DC Britt Haven's Blaze of Glory). That is was a VERY fit, shaven down Brittany looks like.

THIS is the same dog, with coat & probably 5 pounds, finishing his DC a few years back.

This is my Sully, Wild Mtn Thunderbird. He is my first Brittany and I absolutely love having him around.

I like them all, but this pic really stands out to me, what a great looking dog.

WOW that is the dog I was talking about... crazy what a shave can do. His head looks a lot bigger too. Hard to believe it is the same dog. Amazing!

Here is a few on My Britt "Niki"




Pointed 9 birds today 4 months old

Niki is adorable! Looks like she's coming along well!

Haha, Karen! I never doubted your Britt. : ] He does look a lot different, but that Brittany is still shining through. :]

On another forum, someone responded saying that they have come across some hard-headed Britts. I find that hard to believe, even though I know here are exceptions to every breed.

Do any of your Brittanys act out? Or are they as sweet as every knows them to be?

Blaze is a non-agressive dog, low man in the pecking order, but don't let that fool you.. he's extremely hard headed. He's also very aloof...

You get the impression from him, that if he didn't need food, he'd have no use for us sometimes. But given that he's also at times extremely friendly, he gives "hugs" at random times. He's very much a slave to "Schedule," and he'll make sure you know what the schedule is. This includes throwing himself in a crate at 10pm (because it's bed time), getting excited for dinner (starting at 3pm, until the usual 5pm). Pointing the "cookie cabinet" when it's time to go out for the last time of the day.

So - define hard-headed. Trainer says he's as tough as any Setter he's trained. Taking the highest setting on the training collar with no sound, and barely a flinch. But he doesn't really act out. He's actually one of the quietest keepers. The pups have inherited this easy-going nature, and "tough" personality. Our other dogs are "soft" by comparison.

Jenny (the one seemingly favored in Karen's list) is probably the most difficult around the house... She's very PUPPY. Nothing horrible, nothing biting, or anything... just puppy... Into the trash, won't crate break, if something wrong is being done it's her. However with that, she's still a very sweet, loving pup, that really rolls with the punches. She trains well, and just likes to have fun. She'll be a helluva dog someday, right now she's just puppy.

I've had Siberian Huskies, and frankly, there are no harder headed dogs, Britts are a dream compared to that.

Enjoyed looking at all these great looking dogs! I've had my Brit for a bit over a year now and love it. Had EP's my entire life so it was a change, but one I'm glad I made. Enjoy your new pup!

Here is Hunter !!! My 2 1/2 years old boy.









Really love that one with my 2 years old Son..

Hunter has my favorite look when it comes to Brittanys. Love.

Thank you!

We were joking yesterday that she thinks her name is NOJenny and STOPJenny and especially IGONNAKILLYOUJenny.

Funny puppy. Drives me NUTS! But funny puppy!

These are some great lookin Britts for sure.

Karen,

You can send IGONNAKILLYOUJENNY to me anytime.... no questions asked! Pretty sure IGONNAKILLYOU KIDDO can wear her butt out all by himself. OMG can he RUN!

Hehe! Sorry, the little imp is staying.

No pictures of Kiddo? Forrest is growing a little more even than Blaze did...but only a little.

Lots of great looking dogs!

Ruffshooter, I love the quote in your signature. :]

That's one of my favorite things about training, aside from the bond you and your dog share while you learn together.

Buster is a great-looking French!

Karen, I understand completely, Taz preferred name is a**hole. Thought I might put a few pics of Buck, who passed last summer, still miss him.

First pheasant hunt 1996 Last hunt 2010

Thanks CPTN:

Jarbo: Glad you got Buck out for a hunt. Sorry for the loss.
Rick

I nearly teared up looking at your photos of Buck from the first hunt and the last hunt.

Looks like he was a hard working, nice looking dog, and he lived a long life. Condolences! I know how it is.

I hope this doesn't upset you, it's not ment to. I think your dog looked better shaven. That is the same one you posted a while back shaved? Either way, whoever is grooming them is an artist.
