As some 24HCF members know, I've been running Springers on upland birds for 25+ years. My last one died suddenly last November, and I just didn't have the time--or the heart, to tell the truth--to replace him yet. But next spring I'm thinking about getting a new gun dog, and for a lot of reasons I'm thinking of getting a Brittany.
I don't have a lot of experience shooting over pointing dogs, and zero experience in training them. But it seems to me that a pointing breed makes more sense for hunting the birds we have down here in Texas, particularly quail. And as I'm very partial to the temperament of spaniels, a Brittany makes some sense to me. I'm starting to look at a couple of breeders, but thought I'd see what kind of thoughts some of y'all have about this breed?
