New Pup

[Alfred Houde]

Somewhere in this pile will be the 2024 Draft Pick. I love my Gordon, but she is not a duck dog (nor should she be expected to).

I thought I wanted a Boykin to replace my late AWS, but I just enjoy hunting over a pointing dog. With the type of duck hunting that I do, one of these Liver Britt's should fill the bill. I don't hunt big water, and the Gordon just won't sit or stand for those early morning pass-shoots. Plus, I can hunt them together for grouse and woodcock. I owned a Brittany over 30 years ago, and I really like their personality and temperament. I have the second overall pick, so I'm pretty confident.

Alfred...take 'em all! How can you not?

[Angel Cruz]

That’s a beautiful sight. You can’t go wrong with a Brittany, but heck what do I know:whistle:

You will love having a Brittany again. They have so much personality, and they are fun to train and work with. Puppy time is so special...enjoy it.

[Alfred Houde]

These are the two females in the litter. Both appear to be traditional liver and white. I was hoping for a dark roan pup, but only three males turned out that way.

[Donald F. Mills]

Alfred,
I have had Brittanys all my life and from the look of the litter there isn’t a bad choice in the lot. I am drawn to that second female though for some reason.

[JAMES HALL]

The more white. Especially in the face.

[Alfred Houde]

It's funny because the one with white on her face is the one I like as well. We are going to get a look at them this afternoon. They are five weeks old and obviously not ready to go to homes yet, but we are going to physically see them.

Based on the videos and updates from the breeder, that white one looks like a feisty gal.

My dad had a female liver Brit named Molly born in 1974. That was by far the best dog he had in 60 years of hunting

[Alfred Houde]

I selected this one. Any pup is a gamble, but if the breeding and genetics are there, it sure increases the odds.

A little whiter than I had hoped, but nothing that can't be covered with a camo vest while pass shooting ducks. That white will help out in the grouse and woodcock covers.

I have enclosed an image of her great grandsire. My guess is she will look similar.

She comes home end of November.

[Greg Baylander]

Awwww

[Alfred Houde]

Updated image of the whole gang. Mine is the troublemaker on the far right. She comes home on the 24th.

Very nice looking litter.

[Stan Hoover]

They are adorable, nothing much more beautiful than puppy's.

I'm partial to Brittany's, that is a great looking litter!

[Alfred Houde]

And here she is. We named her Annie.

[Donald F. Mills]

Great name. She’s adorable.

Looking forward to hearing how she grows and develops into a gun dog.

[Jason Winks]

That’s a good looking pup

[Garry L Gordon]

And here she is. We named her Annie.

OMG, what a face! I guess the good Lord made puppies grow up fast for a good reason, but I still haven’t figured out why. Take lots of photos of that cutie so you’ll remember every moment.

[CraigThompson]

Well she’s not a “Little Brown Dog” but nice just the same :cool: I’ve never owned a Brittany but I’ve shot over several that my old grouse hunting partner had . My friend was enamored with the Bandee line of Brittany’s back then and all the pups he had came from a breeder/trainer in Fluvanna County Virginia by the name of Elmo Londeree . Elmo was kinda old thirtyfive years ago so I dunno if he’s still around but it seems to me his son is still in the buisness . http://www.londereekennels.com/

Nothing against pointers but I’ve certainly got a soft spot for ALL varieties of spaniels and setters . :cool:

[Alfred Houde]

Yes, I gave serious consideration to a Boykin. Like I mentioned in a previous comment, my hunting styles/interests have changed, and I really like hunting over a pointing dog.

If I do my part, she should fill the bill for the type of duck hunting that I do now, and she will be a great teammate for my Gordon in the grouse/woodcock covers.

Oh no I was just teasing ! As I said I like all spaniels and setters !

[Alfred Houde]

Lots of socializing with the Grandkids and neighborhood kids. Play training and learning that exploring cover is fun.

No idea why she prefers the bed upside down but so be it.

What's better than a pile of puppies? NOTHING! Best of luck, Brits are great dogs.
