The Brittany Forum

JayPatrol · Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 6:59 pm Post subject: Greetings from Northamptonshire

Hi

I have just recently joined the forum as we have just bought our first Brittany.

We chose the Brittany after researching all of the dog breeds available and decided they were the clearly the best choice - but I'm preaching to the choir here I guess...

She is 8 weeks old and her pet name is Amy - just had her first jab today and was very brave.

We've spoken and met with a few BCGB members and been made to feel extremely welcome. We are somewhere between very and enormously grateful to them for their generosity.

To be honest we're a bit loved up at the moment, but that might be partly due to lack of sleep as Amy is from a remote loch-side in Argyll which is about a 10 hour journey back to where we live.

We are very keen to learn and understand how we can give and get the most out of the 'Brittany experience'.

Our plan, as she becomes ready, is to try a range of activities that she or we may enjoy (from showing, to field trials, to agility - and flyball, we hope - which is why we called her Amy - after Amelia Earheart the aviator). Then, if there's a good fit, we'll do some more of that!

Best wishes

Jayson and Theresa (who will probably join the forum separately when she gets the chance)

Hello Jayson and Theresa,

Welcome to the forum.

We're a friendly group from all parts of the world, united by our love of the Brittany.

Your Amy looks a real poppet, looking forward to hearing about her progress.

Regards, Lin.

May I welcome you two to the forum too - it was lovely meeting you both, and great company for me when you stayed Sunday evening on your way to collect wee Amy. I look forward to meeting her sometime.

Hi to you both - glad you made it.

Look forward to reading about Amy's growth and perhaps seeing you all in October. I will pm details.

Hi and welcome. Hope you can appreciate the sometimes weird sense of humour of people on the forum. You need to be weird and have a sense of humour to let a Brittany own you anyway. Laughing

Welcome to the forum, you should find all the info and guidance you need on here and within the BCGB. Laughing

Welcome from an adjacent county too. I’m sure Amy will “fly” whatever you end up doing with her. Laughing

I look forward to seeing you in the not too distant future.

Not NE Northant’s by any chance?

Hi Eddie

Well, East Northamptonshire - we're in Rushden. Not too far from Peterborough.

I'm sure we will meet before too long.

Jayson

You sure will - and Gay and Brian and their four girls too. I hadn't realised you were so close to one of my other babies (Soufee)
