Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs Brittany Spaniel thoughts...

My first Brit was a French Brittany. She was a rescue dog but fully trained. She taught me more than I taught her. She was absolutely fearless and a phenomenal bird dog.

Here's some pics of Mandy on her last hunt. She was too old for a day afield but I paid for some pen raised birds and had them set out for her. She loved it.






Willow, our current Brit is an American Brittany. She was a rescue as well and the sweetest dog we have ever had. She was a year old when we got her but because of our son's five year bout with cancer, her training never happened. She still loves to hunt, but is not the caliber bird dog as was Mandy. It really doesn't matter. If she never pointed another bird I wouldn't care. She's a fantastic comfort dog for my wife while I'm gone to the slope.

As far as Brittanies being dumb. Both of mine have been two of the smartest dogs I've ever known.
