Larry ,the mother of my current dog Chip ,was the absolute best dog I have ever hunted over ,and the best family pet we ever had ! We had to put her down last Thanksgiving from Breast Cancer ,one of the toughest days ever in our home ! I had my heart set on an English Setter and we were at our local " Ligonier Days " a venue in Oct. for towns folk to sell and buy home made crafts , any way the Pa. Game commission had a booth and one of the Game Land Managers had a couple of Pups there out of his litter to sell. We were walking toward the Booth and this little Tri Colored Britt came tearing out of the little make shift kennel it was in and with people everywhere by passed everyone and jumped up on my little 5 year old Daughter and began licking her face and running circles around her ! Finally the owner caught the pup and after we laughed about what had happened ,he said it was for sale ,I balked at first but when those Little Girls Eyes started to tear up ,WELL........You know , I gave in and we had a new Brittany ! The best thing that could have happened , when Maggie adopted us for her Family ! Great to live with ,smart ,very affectionate ,and even I can train one to a respectable degree!

From my point of view, Brittanies have trained me, at least as much as they can. Good ones love to hunt, have a great heart, and want to make their master happy. There are plenty of good dogs of all breeds, but in our mountains a good one is hard to not like/love.
