Re: to much importance put on pedigree?

My .02 as a newbie Britt owner... I knew I wanted a dog that would hunt for me and had decided on my breed. I did lots of reading, books, GDF, etc. but I had the nagging question, what the heck would a field trial champ, dual champ, show champ, etc. mean in terms of finding/pointing birds for me to ...

Re: Brit Spots

My britt also has some light brown "blotches" on his belly, but I don't know if all/most BS have these markings (this is my first). I looked on the AKC website but did not see anything regarding skin coloration under the breed standard.

Whata week...
Thanks for the input... I would prefer to pick up the pup myself, as I tend to think it would be harmful to the young pup. Then again, I've never shipped a puppy across the country before, so maybe its a little paranoia on my part :lol:.

Do your dogs have targets on them or what? :D
I wonder... could you train your dogs to avoid skunks (I read
that dogs can be trained to avoid snakes... somehow).
