Go with a Brittney and you'll never regret it. Great companion and the BEST birddog I've ever been around. I hunt mine on pheasant, grouse, woodcock and quail. Sits next to me in the duck blind and swims and retrieves like a champ too. Easily trained and an extremely loyal hunting partner. Mine stays in the house and is friend to not only my 5 kids but every other kid in the neiborhood too.

Not bragging (O.K. Bragging) but I hunt 2x per year in the U.P of Michigan for grouse. Right beside guys with 5 thousand dollar dogs. I don't spend 5K on my truck let alone a hunting dog and my dog finds twice as many birds (no B.S. I keep a bird log) as any other dog in camp.

Just my 2 cents. Best regards,
