If you are wishing to be added to our puppy waiting list please
tell us all about yourself by filling out our Questionnaire and Fax
or emailing it to me. Thank you for your time in this matter !!
Link to my
Questionnaire PDF File
We also would like to offer any advise if possible to anyone that may
already own a Brittany and may need help in their training or care!
We will try our best to help. If we can't answer your questions
we will do some research and get back to you. This helps us to grown
and learn too. We have some good Tips & links on our Helpful
Hints page & Training page and more will be added as we find them.
If anyone has some good info that you think we'd be interested in
adding to our site, dealing with the Brittany or dogs, feel free to
let us know

WHAT IS A BREEDER ??
-
A Breeder (with a capital B) is one who thirsts for knowledge and
never really knows it all, one who wrestles with decisions of
conscience,convenience, and commitment.
-
A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time,
friendships, fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting! She/he
gives up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise in favour of turning
that all important Show into this years "vacation".
-
The Breeder goes without sleep (but never without coffee!) in hours
spent planning a breeding or watching anxiously over the birth
process, and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle or cry.
-
The Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the
babies have to be fed at eight. She disregards birth fluids and
puts mouth to mouth to save a gasping newborn, literally blowing life
into a tiny, helpless creature that may be the culmination of a
lifetime of dreams.
-
A Breeder's lap is a marvellous place where generations of proud and
noble champions once snoozed. A Breeders hands are strong and
firm and often soiled, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the
thrusts of a puppy's wet nose.
-
A Breeder's back and knees are usually arthritic from stooping,
bending, and sitting in the birthing box, but are strong enough to
enable the breeder to Show the next choice pup to a Championship.
-
A Breeder's shoulders are stooped and often heaped with abuse from
competitors, but they're wide enough to support the weight of a
thousand defeats and frustrations.
-
A Breeder's arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of
puppies, or lend a helping hand to a newcomer.
-
A Breeder's ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being
talked about) or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone
receiver), often deaf to criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the
whimper of a sick puppy.
-
A Breeder's eyes are blurred from pedigree research and sometimes
blind to his/her own dog's faults, but they are ever so keen to the
competitions' faults and are always searching for the perfect specimen.
-
A Breeder's brain is foggy on faces, but it can recall pedigrees
faster than an IBM computer. It's so full of knowledge that
sometimes it blows a fuse: it catalogues thousands of good bonings,
fine ears, and perfect heads...and buries in the soul the failures
and the ones that didn't turn out.
-
The Breeder's heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope
everlasting... and it's always in the right place !
Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are BREEDERS!!
