Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs What dog goes well with a Brittany

I have one Britt that is 5 years old, and our other dog passed this spring.... so mine is kind of lonely.

I’m thinking a Lab as a duck / flusher would be a good combo...

So - what makes a good hunting pair with a Britt ?

Thoughts ?

Probably buy another brittany in that situation myself.

I really want to shoot ducks too... so Lab is heavy on my mind.

My britt goes 50lbs and he’s a brut so he’ll just run over any dog of lesser size -now If I can find a lighter weight lab it would be about perfect.

Gotta be a good kennel in KS, NE, or SD with small labs I would think. Hoping to shoot a few more ducks this year myself.

I’m researching that now...

How 'bout a Griff or GWP? Can hunt them for upland with the Brit and take them for waterfowl on their own.

I think I have Decided on a Drahthaar

Duck, upland birds, rabbit... all good

Yes, combining a pointer with a pointer makes more sense.

Good call!

Picking up a female pointing lab in SD this summer to hunt with our Britt.

Llewellin Setter. They are in the English Setter class, but they are bred to be smaller-so they are similar-sized as a Brittany. Females weigh in about 35-42 lbs. Beautiful dogs. Very mellow in the house, and alert outside.

Beautiful Llewellin here.

Or, just another Brittany.

We have owned 3 Brittanys and one Llewellin Setter- all one at a time. We are dogless now, but I will be picking up a 9 week old Brittany/Setter mix this Thursday. Let the work begin.
