Opening Day

Had to miss this weekend for work, but got out Monday and saw buckets of birds with my 4-yo French Brittany. Only saw 2 other hunters, so that probably helped. Should have limited out by 10am easy but my gun is a conservationist and I got my limit by noon after my dog put up 9 roosters in gun range. Probably put 16 up in total, with 4 of those flushing with a group of 7 hens. Had to really pace ourselves and take some cool-down breaks because of the heat. Looking forward to the cooler weather on Saturday.

I have a male "American Brittany". He said your dog is a pussy.
 
:cheers:Very funny guys :)I am a brittany owner also...great dogs!

I also have French shotgun that I am trying to sell...never been fired and only been dropped once...:)
 
Sometime over 50 years ago, the name of the breed was changed to "American Brittany". No Frenchy, no spaniel. OR I could have had a pot induced flashback????

Was out Thurs and Fri of last week and the motel was full of hunters it seemed but never ran into another hunter in the field.

Here's a pretty good, succinct comparison: https://pheasantsforever.org/BlogLa...eld/American-Brittany-or-French-Brittany.aspx

I can tell you from anecdotal evidence that my French Britt works closer and is more methodical than the few "Americans" I've hunted over. There's also a pretty clear body type difference - the few French Britts I've met have a noticeably more compact build and are a bit shorter.
