 PUPPIES

Puppies are a joyous event for us here at Wild Mtn Brittanys, however litters are so carefully planned that they don't happen very often. The reason for this is that it takes knowledge, dedication and a lifetime commitment to each dog that we produce, so the decision to breed, for us, does not come lightly. We believe strongly in screening for Hip Dysplasia and other health issues. Our dogs are OFA certified, Brucellosis tested and certified clear of Peri Retinol Atrophy. When we do have a litter, however, we take the best care to ensure that the pups are healthy, happy,and well socialized. Our puppies are raised in the home within a family enviroment to ensure just that! Our puppies are exposed to children, cats, and of course other dogs from the age of 4 weeks until 9-10 weeks when they are ready to go to their new homes. Tails and dewclaws are removed in accordance with the AKC standard. All pups recieve at least 2 of the recommended series of puppy vaccines while with us and possibly one worming before they leave to join their new families.

Starting at the age of 6-7 weeks, we routinely introduce our pups to the scent of birds, using wings, and later, live pigeons and quail if they remain with us long enough.

	Our goal is to produce pups that will fit into family life as easily as into the role of show dog and hunting companion. But that said, it is our belief that the Brittany and specifically, the dogs that we at Wild Mtn Brittanys produce, are HIGH ENERGY bird dogs. To us, this means that our pups must be placed in homes that are ready to commit to the physical and emotional needs of such dogs. All puppies, but especially Brittany puppies, need an enviroment that encourages and advocates daily exercise and a comittment to training. A bored Brittany can often become one of two things: "Destructive" or worse, an "Escape Artist". Though medium in size and build, the Brittany is an  athlete and can often times jump as high as six feet.
	They love to chew and dig and will think it is great sport to destroy your pansy garden or bathroom if left unsupervised and untrained.
It our opinion that it is best to have an active outdoor lifestyle and be willing to commit to a training program if you are considering adding one of our Brittanys to your home. In the past, the Brittany has been billed as a "good apartment dog" because of his medium size, easy going, easily trained personality and easy coat care. We disagree and feel that the ideal home for any Brittany is one that can meet the exercise and emotional needs of these wonderful, willing, loving dogs. Room/place to run, a place to hunt (even squirrels in the dog park will qualify here), obedience school and a committed, loving, active owner offer the Brittany the best of homes. All of the dogs here at Wild Mtn Brittanys are bird dogs FIRST, then they are competition dogs. When puppies are available, they are sold as competition prospects ONLY and are bred specifically for elidgablity in field competition as well as perhaps, the show ring too.
