Thanks Riverrat. Tyke is now three years old, and has really progressed nicely. The other day, he made a retrieve on a blue grouse, over the edge of a ridge, chasing the thing clear to the bottom of the canyon. He came back about 4-5 minutes later with the bird, still alive, and not a tooth mark in it. I couldn't have been more thrilled. French Britts come in black / white,
orange / white, liver / white, or in tri-colored schemes. The only draw-back of a French Britt is that they are very pricey. I guess because they are a little more hard to come by. Here are some puppy photos showing the different color combinations.
black/white/orange tri-color, and one orange/white (@ 6 weeks)
liver/white/orange tri-color (call name Reece)
orange/white @ about 5 months (call name Tex) Notice black noses, instead of pink.
Advertised as being "demons in the field, angels in the home." Certainly preferable over a barking beagle!
