I HAVE A BRITTANY THAT I MESSED WITH ABOUT A YEAR TURNING HER LOOSE WITH MY DEER HOUNDS. AT FIRST SHE DIDN'T LIKE WATER AND WOULD GET HUNG UP ON A DITCH OR CANAL AND I WOULD HALF TO GO TO HER. IWOULD GET HER AND HOLD HER BY THE COLLAR KEEPING HER HEAD UP AND SHE WOULD SWIM BACK WITH ME. SHE NOW KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES FOR WATER GOING ANYWHERE MY OTHER HOUNDS GO.
