Re: Trying to purchase a Brittany

You should check with Deseeker Britts as he has an add in the dogs for sale forum. He bred two of his really nice females to our Stud dog and I know what type of pups he throws. The pups will be birddogs with a ton of point to them.

Re: Tapeworms In Pup

I had one of our dogs eat a rabbit and get tape worms. Our vet prescribed Drontal Plus. It was a one pill deal and took care of it right away. You will need to check with your vet on the milligram pill needed as per weight of your pup . Panacur will not kill them.

I train stop to flush first as it makes backing real quick and easy. Then pretty much what the others do with launchers and a broke dog where the backing dog comes in unexpectedly and sees the pointing dog. I want dogs backing as far away as they can see the pointing dog.
