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.

Well she’s not a “Little Brown Dog” but nice just the same 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 .

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.
