New gun..... Dog! :D

[Infantry-Soldier]

After a lot of research, and lurking on other threads on here, my wife and I decided to get a new dog. We decided to go with a Brittany Spaniel. We wanted a dog for hunting, as well as a good family dog. We picked him up this weekend.

From the looks of things he's wanting to go hunt as much as I do!

He's only 15 weeks old right now. A couple more months and we'll be getting him trained, and ready to go for the fall.

Good looking Brittany. Had one once upon a time. Decided on a name?

Nice looking dog. I like the colours

We decided to name him Sherman. Our old dog was named Panzer, so I think Sherman fits nicely.

Nice! Just don't get a cat and call him Tiger; he would terrorize Sherman.

Sherman looks wonderful!

Grats on the new dog. Britts are awesome.

If you are looking for a group to train with, the Ottawa Valley NAVHDA chapter is a great group, lots of experienced versatile dog folks, and we have several Brits in the group. It takes birds to train a bird dog, and this is one way to get access to them.

Congrats & good looking pup. I have a 1.5 yr old Britt, and he surprises me & my wife on regular basis with his smarts, wit and how great of a family dog he is. What kennel did you get him from?

My britts are 11 and 10 years old now and are truly members of my family.

Got him from Downnwinds Kennel. Got their name from a member here and after many lengthy phone calls we drove the 1400km round trip last weekend to go get him.

He is super smart for a pup. Just have to get the house training over with now! Lol

We had very few 'potty' accidents with our pup Nos. Anytime he changed activity, we picked him up & took him outside. When he did #1 or 2, we said "Go Pee"...

Anytime he was unsupervised, he was crated. Keep in mind that a pup can only hold it about an hour for each month of age... So, Nos did have 'accidents' on the tile when we were not home & he could not be crated due to time limits... But, in my mind, those don't count...

And, in short order, we had a pup sitting at the door looking at us & asking to be let out into the fenced backyard.

It took lots of attention at first, but paid off HUGE in just how quickly Nos was housetrained.

Jay;


We're pretty much doing the same thing. Any time he goes from rest to wanting to play, we take him outside first. Even when he has an accident I really don't mind, as it's like one sheet of paper towel to clean it up, as opposed to half a roll our old dog used to take, hahaha!

I can't wait for the fall! He loves the woods. I'm just waiting for the snow to melt to really let him run out in the bush

Slow & steady... The good times will come!!!
