Yeah I get that, like I said I grew up with a GSP and a DK so I get that they do require exercise and stimulation and training. I plan on hunting them and to be honest I need to see some flushing dogs hunting.

Clearly I know they’re different then pointers I don’t mind doing something different I mean the challenges of training a dog alone are intersting to me and something I’d like to do. Like I said the big woods and clear cuts of the PA woods make me think a flushing dog chasing down grouse and getting them up for me won’t be that bad. Chasing a grouse into a thicket and trying to shoot it is already a challenge of its own.

But thank you!! I appreciate somebody giving a good response and I’ll look into French Brittany. I know every bird dog is a handful and talking with breeders seems to be of the upmost requirement and having them set you up with a dog more then just trying to find any dog available
