For a long time, Derek has wanted a hunting dog. We've talked about it off/on over the years and we've just not been ready to take that leap and committment to that type of dog. For a while, he had wanted a German Short-Haired Pointer (very beautiful dogs) but they are not typically a water dog, so retrieving ducks on the pond would not be it's strong point. So he gave up on that idea and decided a chocolate lab was the type of dog he wanted. Of all the labs, chocolates I have to say are much prettier dogs than the black or yellow but I've never been a big lab fan. Eric has a chocolate lab (Hudson) and he is a great dog, but I just still wasnt keen on the idea for ourselves.
Now that we've decided our next dog will be a hunting dog, we've reopened the idea to maybe a different breed and I discovered that the Brittany is a great option. They typically are a little smaller than a lab and can work as a pointer and water retriever, and they are beautiful dogs! :) So we are pretty certain that this breed will be our next dog.. Now the question is, How long til we wait to get another dog? We'd like to get through the summer with just Russell, but it's gonna be tough I have to admit. Maybe as the weeks go on, Russell will stop howling and realize just how spoiled rotten he is being treated right now!!! I mean the dog sleeps with us every night! ;)
