He's a fireball for sure. Dropping him off at a trainer this week, visiting 3 that were recommended. Hopefully we'll get lucky and get on a few birds later this year.

Coming right along. Main thing is he is putting in work. Difference in a good trainer and bad one is the work ethic and repetitions.

He seems to be having fun. About 9 weeks to go and I can bring him home.

Great looking pup. Reminds me of my first Brittany. Hope you have lots of birds to get him on this season.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

It's been a long summer waiting but I finally get to pick him up in a few weeks. Very happy with his progress, can't wait until November.

He's a fine looking dog. We had a big running Brittany dog last year on our 19K acres. That SOB was the top dog every time he got out of the box. He ran bigger than any pointer I've ever seen. We never got to see him work but every time he stopped on the GPS he had a covey. I thought I had a bitch I'd hunt against any dog but when he was running all she did was back and pick up the singles.
