My Hunting Dog Training Blog

Today I took delivery of a beautiful new Brittany puppy from a local gun dog breeder here in Utah. The litter of Brittany puppies was born on October 15th just 60 miles from our home in Central Utah. She has a respectable pedigree on both sides with a few of the right acronyms like DC, NFC, FC, CH, MH and JH. Mostly though she comes from good pheasant farm working stock and family companion hunters. She seems to have a bright and eager personality - she loves people and has just the right amount of spunk. Her freckled face reminded me of little orphan annie so I decided to name her Annabella's Dreamboat Annie. The call name "Annie" seems to fit her and best of all she responds to it already.

We were hoping to purchase another female german shorthaired pointer this winter but our pick of the litter puppy fell ill and we opted not to pursue any litter mates. When we found this Brittany puppy available from a local breeder it seemed like a good fit. Since my first dog was a Brittany I have always wanted to have another. Hopefully with some proper training she can be molded into the close working gun dog that suits the terrain and hunting conditions in our area.
