We love to see our Brittany puppies point at an early age. It is important to us that our puppies have the hunting genetics. We realize that most of our puppies go to homes where they are a companion first and a hunting dog second. Part of our 8 week training program with puppies is to introduce them to birds and basic retrieving. If they will point and retrieve as an 8 week old puppy, then training is going to be a lot easier later on.

This is a white and liver female Brittany puppy that we sold to some folks in Georgia. She did really well on her first experience with live birds. The scenting conditions were not ideal but this puppy still knew how to act. I would have liked to see her tail up a little higher, but sometimes that comes as they become more familiar with birds. We use pigeons or quail for the live bird introduction.
