jasper65 6 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I have a Brittany Bitch here which is now just over 12 months old, she'll work all day just like a springer and has a strong pointing instinct but boy is she a handfull! this Dog compared to the Terriers with run all day and also still full of beans earley hours of the morning, she's always the first to wake up and barks the place down which is a bit of a wind up , apart from this and totaly destroying everything in the Garden I'm sure it will be a great dog once I harness its Pointing Instinct without it Bumping things up after a few seconds of pointing, this was her at about 15 weeks.......

Night Walker 591 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 nice britt jasper,im a bit worried about taking on something that stressfull at the moment but i have heard that their hunting instinct is amazing if u get a good un also would be looking to work tight cover and hedges so a smallertipe of dog would be required.did you have much trouble finding a good breeder?

jasper65 6 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 DONT U FIND THEY STRUGGLE IN RIGHT TIGHT COVER Nope!!! nice britt jasper,im a bit worried about taking on something that stressfull at the moment but i have heard that their hunting instinct is amazing if u get a good un also would be looking to work tight cover and hedges so a smallertipe of dog would be required.did you have much trouble finding a good breeder? Oh mate she could be stressfull, she calmed down alot now but to be Honest a Brittany or Springer will be full of beans and Hyper active. this Brittany crashed through any sort of cover! I dizzied and planted birds for her last year in all sorts of terrain and she made in and pointed, my problem was holding her back and not Bumping them up but this will be cured with a check lead... It used to crack me up in the first few months how it would point flys on the wall and come on point over its bowl and even pointed the Hawks in the weatherings, she now knows what a game scent is all about which has cured this .....
