Had a couple of britts over the years. We always enjoyed them and had great luck on birds with them. Looks like he is quite comfortable and probaby slightly spoiled like most of them.

Yeah he is slightly spoiled, I don't mind spoiling him a bit as long as he listens well and finds birds.

Congrats on your new pup! While I have never had a Britt, I am very fond of spaniels. I don't think there is a better type to have around when hunting season is either coming or gone. Big enough to stand over that schipperke(?) but not big enough to be a galoot.

Big enough to stand over that schipperke(?) but not big enough to be a galoot. Wow I need to get on here more often! I know its a late response but yes schipperke/Pomeranian (the wifes dog) basically a mini schipperke. Thanks on the congrats Cooper is now just over ten months old found his papers and got him registered, and got a pedigree report. I found out that he has five champs in his blood lines four field trial champs and one dual champ. He has learned (force fetching) but I trained him with treats and not the ear pressure trick, Britts seem to be really sensitive about stuff like that. He will not drop his dummy or a bird, brings it to me and sits by my side untill I take if from him with slight down pressure on the bird or dummy. I may be sold on this breed for good, he is just to cool.

thought it looked like a schip too......ive got a female thats about 6 years old that thinks she owns the house  my wife refers to her as "The Fun Police" cause if we try to play with the GSP in the house or if the GSP and dachshund start playing in the living room she puts an end to it bout half the time.....

LOL sounds like this one, if she isn't invited to play no one can.

Thanks. I can't wait untill the bird season comes around. He needs more time in the field, and less time pointing and stalking robins and black birds in the yard. It keeps him busy and me laughing though.

Reminds me of ol Max, he taught me a lot more than I ever taught him. I could have learned more if I had known earlier who the teacher was going to be.

Sounds like ol Larry. Still miss Mr. Sensitive, even more sensitive than most Britts. A loud conversation would have him in a corner wondering if he did something to displease me. Will be getting another when the time is right.

Just don't forget it is an unwritten rule among us backyard birddog trainers that you MUST spoil your pup rotten. I think the greatest joy in a bird hunters life is watching an eager pup learn to hunt.
