Congratulations on your new pup. There's something to be said for getting a little older dog. If my young brit doesn't turn out, we are going to do the same thing with our next brit, and buy one already started that's showing trial potential. If your looking for someone to help in your pups training, Jason Staley in ID is doing some really nice things with Brits. Paul Dorian in CA is also a very good trainer. Those are the two main brittany Pros on the West coast.... Whos your pup out of?
