I found a pup almost by accident. A friend of mine told me of a fine pup he'd found out of eastern Oregon, so I checked him out. The pup was grown but was by my standards, a nicely built, handsome dog. My friend couldn't find the man's number, so I set to searching for him online. I found him and low and behold, pictures of the dogs. The male looked a lot like my first Brittany from childhood and the female was long legged and had a real nice head.
I found his number and gave him a call. We talked hunting and dogs for about an hour - then he gave me the bad news. His female was bread and it would be the last litter he would do. ALL pups where spoken for. I gave the man my number and thanked him for the nice conversation. A few weeks later the man calls me back. Some people had backed out, some had been on the list a long time and already found a dog. I slipped in and got the pup I wanted. Not a roan but beautiful. Thanks all.
