We are still considering a hunting dog, however we are now considering other breeds of dogs and not just the Brittany. Although we really like the Brittany, we are not 100% sure yet that they are the best water dog, we are getting mixed reviews on that issue. So we are also considering the Boykin Spaniel, sounds funny when you say it to fast! :) It is tough though because the part that sucks about this breed is that of ALL the breeders I have found, I have not found one West of probably MO! All the breeders are back east so if we go with this breed we would either have to buy a pup sight unseen or we'd have to fly back ourselves to see them in person.
This is going to be quite the task to find the right breeder, the right dog etc.. It's not as easy as just finding a breeder and picking the cutest one like we did when we bought our little Jack Russell puppies! :) When trying to deteremine if the dog will be the best hunting partner possible, its a little more complicated than picking the cutest one..
Here's a pic of a 12 week old puppy from a breeders site.. AHHH

Just a thought.... If you call local vet's in the area and other vet's offices of where you may be willing to travel, they may have numbers of breeders of the kinda dog your looking for. Since not every breeder has a website.... just a thought :)
