I used to raise and field trial GSP's, but I had a friend that had a couple of Brittanies. Nice little dogs. Not as high-strung as most Shorthairs, but fun to hunt with. His dog had a problem picking up dead birds and bringing them back, but was very easy to handle. Close ranging, and they also make nice little house dogs. I would have tried a Brittany, but I wanted a dog that would retrieve waterfowl as well as Upland game. GSP's did the trick for me. Some guys like Blondes, and some like Redheads. If your dog makes you happy, that's all that counts.
