savage 221 -

I was very lucky with Ben. He is the "pick of the litter" of my Sister's dog - Hogan. He was "compensation" for Hogan's services and didn't cost me anything. His littermates sold for about $600.

He weighs right about 48lbs. I'd like him to be a little heavier -but until he's neutered (if ever) - I'm not sure he'll gain much more weight.

You will love the disposition of a Brittany! And he truly loves to hunt.As far as looking for one, you should look for AKC registered breeders in your area. Don'tsettle on a cross-breed for much less money - and insist on AKC documentaion. Brittanys are a special breed - and when crossbred have problems with hips, and other problems.

Look for a dog that's parents are both about 20" at the shoulder.

This is him as a puppy - he was a cutie!
