French Brittany Pup

[DUNC2]

Put a deposit down on my new hunting buddy-a French Brittany female. She's two weeks old so I get her in mid-September. Would like recommendations on books for taining this breed of dog. I understand they do not respond well to harsh methods. Will be using her primarily on quail her in Texas. Also, any thoughts on gun-breaking and snake-breaking a young pup? Thanks guys.

One of my favorates is actually a video. The titles are the Perfect Start and the Perfect Finish. They are almost painfully detailed but for a first time trainer like myself they were great. They are produced by Perfection Kennels. Jon of Perfection Kennels also answered all of my questions via email.

Congratulations on your new pup. Brit's are the only pups I'll own and I've got 2 at home now. Every one I've owned or have hunted over are totally unique. You are 100% correct about NOT being heavy handed. I've yet to see a Brit that required anything more than a sturn voice. They do require LOTS of lovin and personal attention. Everyday when I return home from work, I need to sit on the floor with each one for at least 5-10 min and follow up with a cookie. You're in for the time of your life, enjoy!
