Now for my joke of the month
An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him.
He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog. As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. The friend saw everything but did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?"
"I sure did," responded his friend. "He can't swim.”
Did you guess the breed of the month? It’s a little tricky, since there are several bird dogs, the list includes, the pointer, English Setter, Red Setter, German Shorthair Pointer and the Brittany to name a few. I chose the Brittany, to be my breed of the month.
Did you know that the Brittany is widely considered easy to train and is sensitive, and good-tempered? They are also known to get along well with other dogs and can work as a team. They weigh between 30 and 40 lbs and require regular brushing, but their coat is easy to maintain. The Brittany will point and hold his game and will retrieve both on land and in water. He is used primarily in the United States for bird hunting, but is used on both fur and feather in France.
This is one of the Brittany Candles that we recently made.I don’t know of any Brittany’s that have joined my dog park, but if you know any, please tell them about me and all the fun we have!
May all your wags be happy!
Love, Fido
