We love to hear how our puppies are growing and developing into great bird dogs and family companions. We received this photo this week from some folks that bought a female from Annie and Buster’s first litter. The name their puppy “Bella” and have spoiled her rotten I am sure. She is turning out to be a great hunting partner for Michael. Pictured above is a recent pheasant hunt. Mike says..

She pointed and retreived 5 for 6 today. The last one was a runner and she got him up in front of my son, he shot it and found her with the rooster pinned to the ground with both front feet. Off to Northeastern Colo. tommorrow. Regards, Mike

Seven months out of the year my brittany dogs work as guide dogs on a pheasant hunting preserve. This helps to keep them on top of their game and it is also how they earn their room and board. I feel like it would be a shame to have such fine working dogs and not give them a job to do. Buster is pictured here retrieving a healthy rooster pheasant.

Annie gets to hunt pheasants 7 months out of the year as a guide dog at our local pheasant preserve. She loves pheasant hunting more than anything and is a flawless retriever. She will even do water retrieves as long as she sees the bird go down. She has done a couple of blind retrieves but she really took some coaxing. Many times I just take my camera and take pictures of the dog work and the hunters. I would rather leave my gun home than go hunting without a my bird dogs. When I pull out back in the truck they can tell we are gonna have some fun and they all get excited. We are planning another litter of puppies from Annie in the fall of 2010.
