You guys on this forum helped me out about ten or eleven years ago when I was looking for a lab pup for a wedding present for my stepson and his new bride. The pup that I got from a breeder in the Woodlands near Houston (recommended here) turned out to be an outstanding dog. Now I guess that it's my turn. We had to put our last dog from the ranch down earlier this year and have I been dogless for about nine months. I am now ready to take on a new hunting partner. Unfortunately, the breeder that supplied me with some very good Brittanys over the last twenty years or so (now in his mid-80s) has given it up.
I have done some internet research, but would appreciate recommendations from anyone who is familiar with this breed and breeders. I will be 75 in a couple of months, and I am sort of waffling between wanting a new pup or a started dog, and I would appreciate some opinions about that, as well. All leads, tips and pearls of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
