thanks GDF- figured it best to let you know and then delete my posts

Shadow

you might also think about getting a male FC bred Brittany- pick him at 7 weeks- take him swimming right off- might surprise you but there are some fine water retrieving Brittany's- it's all in how you progress with the pup from the start- besides- you have a Brittany- brace of Britt's is a fine thi...

Shadow

Hi Oscar- do you hunt them down there- sort of thinking your running your dogs disturbed them- I'm in SW Kansas- coyotes arround here weigh pretty much 34-39lbs- many are shot at as the farmers and ranchers don't like them- one of the reason we can carry loaded guns in our vehicles we are actually s...

Shadow

good for you to be thinking- skitish birds later in the season is not all bad for a young pointer- some actually don't want to fly but prefer to run- teaches dogs- and when they do pin one it's entense- and you can read the dog and sort of help it if it's public WIHA's you might find crowding and so...

Shadow

understand- really I do- I was just trying to sort of say there's a difference- probably said it wrong- before I got my first FC bred Britt pup I learned a bit about AKC field trials- then when she was 6 months I was invited to a fun trial with some big time Britt's folks- horseback trial- funny thi...

Shadow

few years ago I had two young fella's pick out 2 promissing 7 week old pups of my litter- I told them along with the sale each would be invited to hunt that fall with the the parents as long as the pups had the basics and would back- they were having problems when the pups were 4 months old- so I ha...

thank you for your replies and yes this will be my trail dog and he has alot of come back to him witch is good and bad i really dont want him to come back to me until i tell him thats why i am wondering how to stop that and make him stay out any where from 80 to 300 yards If you are going to trial ...

Shadow

Thanks Ezzy- used more often- meaning his pups are out of the standard so many don't want to breed 550- that's a lot wonder if anyone can pull up the official size to NFC/DC/AFC Tequila's Joker HOF DC/AFC Aapricot's Darktown Strutter JH NFC/FC/AFC Microdot HOF NFC/FC/AFC Bean's Blaze HOF DC/ AFC/ Sh...

Shadow

Shadow Do you have his pedigree online? Is he out of Smart Eyes? nope- maybe should put my pedigrees up- visited the pedigree page- informative Bred my female to Smarteyes Joker- didn't take- I wanted a pup Sire is- NFC/FC/AFC Shambo's Dark Shadow- Dam is -TJ's Prairie Star (who is out of NFC/DC/AF...

Shadow

family and relatives thought so- just south of Bemidji, Minn- when we could just about walk and thru college we hunted just Golden Retrievers- taught them early to stay within 30 yards and flush- we'd let them go out that distance in front, to the sides, to the back- they were to flush not stop- a f...

Shadow

southernblues- why thank you- I sure think so- he runs like he looks- handles nicely- Streenie- not sure if he's stopped- going to stop in and visit the vet here- get him weighed- hey folks- thanks for putting the info on the breed standards up- guess none of my last 6 Britt's would qualify for show...

Shadow

thanks Streenie- haven't paid too much attention to the standards- if I look at Shambo's offspring some have done well in show- seems they are taller than the old standard- but I've not seen them in person Smarteyes Joker I've seen- said to be same size as Shambo - Jordan is a tall Britt my pup is t...

Shadow

as in a real youngster- good boy- Hey! hold on a second- stand still- ok get- will pick them up when they're squirming to get going so as to set them down with their wheels rolling about three months old- hey hey- ok you won't stop! I'll clap and say great pointing and heading in a different directi...

Shadow

priceless- thanks

oh -cool name- HEYYYYY LEEEEEEEEEEE !!! will be a good calling

Shadow

Inside is another thing man. She seen the curtains blowing again and did a drive by! She ran grabbed them and lifted herself off the ground again. The ony thing good is its the same one she ripped early. My wife and I laughed and our 11 year old gsp looked at us like what is she doing.... She's a b...

Shadow

After my disaster with my last pup I went and put a deposit on a 8 week old gsp .. My next decision is on a male or a female. I have a 5y/o male now. I really don't have much interest in breeding . Most likely get her fixed.. Do females get fat or get a barrel chest after they get fixed ? Any benef...

Shadow

another way- when the dog gets within the range you want it to turn- toot the whistle, point your arm, run in that dirrection- repetition repitition- soon just the toot and point will work- but I'd say- unless you are trialing- to also let the dog come in to you every now and then- makes for one tha...

Shadow

9 weeks is young- think you're doing quite good- not stupid with music- a small clock with a resonable ticking has been known to work- two weeks seperated from mother and litter mates- sounds like you are on your way to a fine companion- both house and field

Shadow

If the hatch is good i plan on taking my first trip to Kansas around the 2nd week of the season...hows the best way to get accurate info on the hatch...i would say the DNR but I would say they are in it to sell licenses so will you truly get accurate reports? actually- for years the DNR has been pr...

Shadow

I've got enough guns- owe my brother a return trip to fish and hunt in Alaska

Shadow

rapid fire- I know a guy who used antlers for chews/toy with his pup- you know what- that pup is pretty good at finding sheds in the deer areas

Shadow

very good Ray- I've hunted mine with a couple folks who did have their pups spayed before their first heat- one female I hunted with for 5 years just never came out of her puppy stage- and to this day he hasn't been able to get a handle on controling her- so in fact he treats her like a young child ...

Shadow

sorry about that- haven't been on this board long enough to know the rules-

Shadow

I don't think your doing any harm- how old is the pup I like to get them used to the kennel/dog box right away- sort of like- when real young get them worn out and put them in- let them think it's a safe place- not bad if one was to start screaming right away I'd ignore it- if it continued I'd have ...

Shadow

In dog shows that's the way I understood it- you couldn't have black in a DC

how about size in show-

Shadow

since you ask- when hunting season is over I don't do anything with my Britts- 30 years they've seemed to do ok hitting the field when the season starts with no work/training- I do take them on runs and swimming to keep in shape- meaning- I think they know how to point, hold, and retrieve, without t...

Shadow

a guy who did photo's for magazines said a very good inexpensive digital camera you can get for under $100.00 at Wall Mart- choice between two Kodiak Easy Shares

Shadow

Black has always been a DQ. Ezzy Interesting- not trying to war with you- can you enlighten me- would this be in AKC Show- would this be in AKC field trials I was a member in Olathe, Kansas- in the 70's yes black was a problem- heard not to long ago they loosen the rules- I do admit- some of this L...

Shadow

ok- I know in the 70's black in the American Brittany Club was considered bad and not of true blood- could be something in that split- American/French also- 1980's there were breeders who were breeding larger/leaner American Brittanys to compete with the English Pointers Black is still a DQ in the ...

Shadow

vzkennels, What I have found is that you can have a pup spayed or neutered as young as 6 to 8 weeks old with no harmful effects. you stated it- man- that is rediculous and think about this- why would you do something to your young dog that you wouldn't do to your young child- - now days it's no pun...

Shadow

think vzkennels has it right-

always understood that if you spay or neuter before they've reached 1 year then that pup will always be a pup/act like a pup

sort of like stopping the maturity process

would you have it done on a child

Shadow

ok- I know in the 70's black in the American Brittany Club was considered bad and not of true blood- could be something in that split- American/French

also- 1980's there were breeders who were breeding larger/leaner American Brittanys to compete with the English Pointers

Shadow

"I don't want to get on her bad side" think maybe you're going to have to take another thought on that- you need to be the master- or get her to a trainer- jmo

Shadow

Brittany Standard as described in 1998- History:The Brittany, also known as the Epagneul Breton and formaly as the Brittany Spaniel, is mainly a pointing dog. It most likely originated from a cross between the English Setter and the French land spaniels: the name comes from its area of developement,...

Shadow

yep- and we have a bit of that- seems there's always someone checking into Dorithy's place- can't really fault the ones who go seeking the strange and unexplained- wizards, witches, spirits, goblins, and little green men- some are looking for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow- you know- thi...

Shadow

great article- visited Jimmy and Smarteye's at his kennel- both are class acts-

Shadow

Bella- there's nothing wrong with close points- she slams the points- that's the thing- my pup and female will point close and far- depends on when they hit the strong scent- I don't work mine on penned birds-

Shadow

Carla- agreed- I've seen enough of wired up ones- good point you made

Shadow

Most important to me is that she is great in the house and is a very good city dog...Plus I run her at least an hour a day. That probably helps :) . I lived in town till just recently- would take my Britt's for a walk arround town at 6:30am- without a leash- but they also knew we'd hit the outskirt...

Shadow

nice looking Britt- nice pedigree think maybe someone can get the idea Britt's aren't a Hyper Breed agree with you on likes to hunt but likes to be arround- mine don't prefer to be out far so long but to swing back in- big time field trialing different- I like mine swinging back arround so always ha...

Shadow

now I've just got to ask- you sure he swims- looks like he could run on water

Shadow

congrats! Jack almost doesn't look real- would say that's about the most well built well style pointer arround

Shadow

The funny thing is that even when you expect more from a human than a dog, the dog will still give you more. Ain't that the absolute truth!.... Streenie79 and more laughs also- built another quail pen and set it right in line with the other one- I leave the door open with a liitle bird seeds and cr...

Shadow

educated or not- some birds will set tight some will not- where I've been chasing pheasants for the past two seasons there seems to be some nice points right by those water irrigation pumps- meaning- some don't mind the noise- little beeper going off isn't to much to scare them- there are a few that...

Shadow

you know- I'm sort of going with "you might have pups you might not" either way will be just fine- first time we bred her figured I had to convince her she was with pups- so we'll just have to wait and see reason I said that- is because I've been with a few who could handle a 410- so it goes without...

Shadow

Hi ezzy- Chief"s Brittanies had a firebreather who was also a kennel/house dog- loveable fella- TV star awhile back- would fetch the TV remote, watch TV Think what some don't realize is there are breeders who breed large and small Britt's just for that choice- but are quite carefull to stay in DC li...

Shadow

agree with dawgmama- used Lovetts 6in1 beeper for years- still got one in rough shape- but the Garmin came out- so I was right there to get one of the first- both mine have it on almost all the time- they don't stick underfoot- besides- it's kind of neet to see one on point and wonder how soon the o...
