Gove County Britts started a thread in the Lounge forum about a crossbred litter of pups that came from the union of an English Setter and a Vizsla. They reported that the pups were excellent hunters, and they were considering the development of a new breed. Many people weighed in with a full spectrum of opinions. The Westminster Kennel Club dog show is now on and features two entirely new breeds. The Brittany was developed by cross breeding two distinct breeds. Thus, I give full encouragement to Gove County Britts to develop a new breed of hunting dog. I point out again the role of geographic place-names used in naming dog breeds: Brittany (a province of France where they were developed), German Shorthairs, French Poodles, English and Irish Setters, Cumberland Sheepdogs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, et al. So Gove County Britts would be carrying on a long tradition if they called the new breed Gove Pointers, Grainfield Setters, or the like.
