    You are correct. The Teal is an Over/Under. Not sure what the OP has.

    Dog soap, shampoo?

    I can't give you any advice on shampoos, but if your dog does in fact have allergies I would go to your vet and get a shot of Cytopoint. It's an injection that is suppose to last from 4-8 weeks. My Brittany is an allergy dog and been shots of Cytopoint for nearly 7 years and it has worked...

    Franchi semi autos

    I looked on GunBroker.com and there isn't one Franchi 28 ga. listed there. As the above posts have indicated they must be a model 48. Here's an article about the 48. It uses a patented action that John Browning developed for the Browning Auto-5. Rounds are cycled through long recoil...

    English Setters

    My current Brittany can run with any Setter out there, yet she has proven to be an excellent pheasant dog.

    English Setters

    You are going to get some blowback on that statement. I'm sure if we took a poll on this site that the vast majority of dog owners keep their dogs in the house. All my hunting dogs for the past 50+ years have lived in the house. In my opinion it makes for a better dog. Afterall, they are our...

    English Setters

    I wouldn't be afraid of a dog out of field trial lines and with field champions in it's pedigree. They are generally highly trained dogs with exceptional noses, Depending on the type of field trials they have been bred for you can get a big running dog. That doesn't mean you can't control...

    Pointer or flusher debate

    Having had both flushers and pointers there is no doubt a flusher is going to close the distance faster on a running bird. A good pointing dog is going to slow down as it gets closer and the scent stronger. If your pointer is out running a flusher to the bird it's not doing it's job and is...

    Pointer or flusher debate

    It's kind of like when I see someone that is older and saying they want a pointing dog that works closer. In my opinion that is the opposite of how they should be thinking. As I've gotten older I want a dog that can cover a lot of ground because I can't do it myself anymore. But you do need a...

    O/U Which Barrel?

    In over and unders that have fixed choked barrels the bottom barrel always has the most open choke.

    Pointer or flusher debate

    I've had Labs, Springers and now Brittanys for the past almost 30 years. A good pointing dog will learn to reposition if the birds runs out from under their point. My previous Brittany was great at it. If she was on point and the bird had moved on her she would wiat until I got close, then...

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    I assume we talking boots for pheasant hunting. I'm 78 and as I've aged my feet have gotten quite hard to please. For the past several years I have been wearing a pair of Irish Setter Upland Havoc boots. Very comfortable boots but Irish Setter doesn't make them anymore. :( Irish Setter boots...

    Training after 1 year old...now what?

    Sounds to me like you are well on your way to having a great hunting companion. Some dogs just have it all from the start and require little formal training. Keep doing what you are doing and work on Whoa and steadiness. Then just get here more and more bird contacts. The more wild birds...

    American Brittany Puppies - Males Available in Washington

    Brittman makes some excellent points. There are a lot of dual champion Brittanys. And some field trial dogs don't always make good hunting dogs, and vice versa. That's why you must do your homework before selecting a pup.

    Field Trials? NSTRA?

    I did NSTRA for nearly 15 years. Only reason I stopped was because my current Brittany just wasn't being competitive. My previous Britt was a NSTRA Champion and the Mid-North Region High Point Dog in 2013, I really enjoyed NSTRA and met a bunch of really great people. It's probably more like...
