I am sending this photo from North Dakota

Dear John-

I am sending this photo from North Dakota where Metta hunts like a machine. She is in her 4th year now and loves to hunt. We are having phenomenal runs with continuous points, on both singles, doubles and packs of 60. This last weekend, I shot this photo, it was a six pack and I was lucky enough to grab this photo. I kept her steady and was within 3 feet of the flushing birds. The action speaks for itself, it was a great day.

Metta runs hard all day, covers ground and impresses my buds who hunt with Germans and English Pointers. I previously hunted with English Springer’s and the French Brittany has been a great experience. As a family dog they quickly shut off the hunting instinct and blend into our family of 4. We have a three year old son Nils and seven year old daughter Lilly and Metta is one of family. The family demeanor is fun with our backyard “find it” games, runs in the parks and bike rides.

I have been impressed each year hunting with Metta and hope to have many more runs before getting another dog. Currently we are hunting pheasants until year end and occasionally we will bump ducks and even without training Metta will jump into the water and retrieve ducks in the cold ponds.

Thanks again and if anyone would like to speak with us about owning a French Brittany from your kennel please have them call us.
