Meet Missy
« on: February 20, 2014, 12:29:27 pm »
Picked her up on Sunday.  Travelled home 6 hours on the train - not a squeak from her all the way up, and we were mobbed with people cuddling and admiring her.  Grumpy Granda Allez has his nose out of joint.  Grannie Freckles puts up with ears and toes being chewed and pulled, Grannie Belle plays with her but scares her with her loud barks

Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO !!!!!!!!!!!     :roflanim:
 
She is a Brittany - a  Hunter Pointer Retriever bred for working and show.  Champion sire, line bred dam.  :excited:

She is ten weeks old, and in two days she now walks on a lead, sits for a treat, and recalls to whistle in my kitchen  :eyelashes: ;)  Doubt if that will last!  :innocent:

She looks lovely, until you clarified her breed I wondered if she was a wire haired pointer.

Not called blue roan - that's a spaniel phrase, these,aren't spaniels

10 colourways in France and the UK (plus sable which is not allowed in the show ring)  Mainly Orange and white in the American Brittany, although there are pure French Bred Epagneul Bretons in America too (the French name for the breed) which have the same colours as in France and UK

Epagneul Breton/UK Brittany colours
Orange and white - roan or clear
Liver and white - roan or clear
Black and white - roan or clear
Black Tricolour - roan or clear
Liver tricolour - roan or clear
