Rules For Owning a Gun Dog

1. Spend time with them each day. You are their everything.

2. Don’t hide your excitement, let them see the kid in you.

3. Your expectations of a bird dog are high but their expectations of an owner are higher.

4. Don’t sleep on it take them to the vet.

5. Go hunting with them at least one time just the two of you.

6. Tell your new friends about your old dogs.

7. Their falses aren’t the only ones in the field.

8. Judge your hunting friends by how they treat their dogs.

9. Always stop to pet them.

10. Stop walking, sit down you will see how much they love you. Enjoy it.

11. Treat puppies like puppies and treat your 12 year old like he still is one.

12. Know when to retire them and give them everything they want. They gave you everything they had.

13. Have patience when they are hard of hearing...it’s the birds fault.

14. Show your boys that there’s reasons to be gentle in this world. Bird dogs are just one of them.

15. You helped her down the stairs when she was young now help her up them when she is old.

16. Take the picture every single damn time. It’s worth it.

17. Enjoy their determination even when it’s not after a bird.

18. When it’s time to say goodbye don’t leave his side. Hold him. He knows what’s happening and he’s happy you are with him.

19. Remember them, visit the places that made you both so happy. Think about her while you stop walking and sit down with her daughter on an October afternoon.


20. Understand that you can not fill the hole they left in your heart but remember them and they will be with you every step of the way.

*Not my words ... but so true.

The Brittany is one of those breeds people often mistake for a slightly smaller, pretty spaniel.

But their history tells a very different story.

They were developed in the Brittany region of northwestern France as compact, versatile bird dogs. They needed the stamina to cover ground, the nose to locate game, the instinct to point, and the ability to retrieve once the bird had been flushed or shot. The FCI still classifies them as a pointing breed, and even describes them as the smallest of the pointing breeds.

That also explains why you’ll sometimes hear them called the Brittany Spaniel. In America, the word “Spaniel” was officially dropped from the breed name in 1982 because their working style is much closer to a pointer than a traditional flushing spaniel.

And you can still see that history in the Brittany today.

They’re athletic, intelligent, incredibly alert and often deeply connected to their owner. They notice movement, scent and changes in the environment very quickly, and they were built to work with energy and purpose for long periods of time.

That can make them absolutely brilliant dogs for active owners.

It can also make them difficult when people choose them for their size and appearance without understanding the working dog underneath.

A Brittany with no direction can become restless, overexcited, difficult to settle and far more interested in the environment than the person holding the lead.

Give them structured training, proper physical exercise, meaningful work and a relationship where checking in with you is genuinely rewarding, and they can be exceptional companions.

Small enough to look manageable.

Driven enough to keep even experienced owners on their toes.
