Not sure how you'd go about importing one though :)

Stacey of Hamils here in Tauranga may be doing something / or already done one.
Cheers fellers. While people are looking has anyone run them and is there any reason you wouldn’t?
I have run them for the past 12 years or so, i am well into my second one. Like any breed here in NZ we get a shallow representation.
It takes a lot of dedication and knowledge to improve a breed (and money).
Also like any breed you need to see the parents working and hunt with them to see if they fit your hunting style.
As you are in the SI I would concentrate on those breeders, so you can see what they have.
Feel free to give me a call.
Mate in Tauranga has a litter on the ground, imported parents
Yep had a bit to do with them, my biggest issue with them hunting wise is ironically the reason most buy them - size. I really think in a pointing breed you need a minimum of 22 inches at the shoulder to not wear down in heavy cover typical of North Island pheasant country. To justify that statement, remember air scenting pointing breeds tend to run over things, ground scenting flushing breeds tend to go under. Galloping through heavy pohuehue in dune country or overgrown riverbeds for hours on end is hard work even on larger dogs. This wouldn't be an issue for a south island upland dog however. Otherwise fantastic dogs.Quote:

@7mmwsm I've heard anecdotes of them on deer but no personal experience. I don't think they'd be the best choice as a deer dog as a good brittany is quite a high drive beast. Upland game is where they excel. They are more 'english' ie. closer to the pointer and setter than the Germanic versatile breeds if that makes sense. And yes, spoke to EBs a few weeks ago, she is fit and well and still has her Bretons.
unfortunately my mates one is neutered
@Uplander my dogs In Tauranga at the moment going over one of Stacey at Hamils bitchs pups from the first litter a 4 year old bitch my boys 8 now he will then be going over Stacie’s bitch for her last litter when she’s ready my dogs big for the breed around 22-23kg fit he’s a strong swimmer raging rivers are no problem hard in the bush and keen on deer upland game and ducks @7mmwsm mine have being great deer dogs we had 7 in the family Johns boy he has now is one I had for a short time who was dynamite on deer the limited time I had him I for certain won’t be changing breeds Il likely freeze some of Bears jizz and Import a bitch in the next few years to keep his line going he’s sired 4 litters now around 50 pups all of which the owners have being thrilled with a lot of people came back for a second dog
Awesome @Kelton, glad to hear he's a larger one. I think they're getting too small here in NZ. How is he bred?
well normally....after the kiddies have gone to bed and a mummy and daddy like each other very much....LOL
Sorry @Pointer what do you mean by how’s he bred cheers

Iv 8 years of hunting videos and photos but most are sitting on my laptop that won’t charge (bloody technology) that’s a small amount I managed to pull from messenger that I’d send to Stacey

and yes I would be in like flynn if the price was right....you fellas with great dogs need to turn your back more often and get accidental breeding going on,so there are cheaper Xbred pups around for a tight arse like me....or let your boy poke the bosses foxy or heading bitch.....hmm heading bitch brittany ...that would be interesting combo....
he says looking at the GSP/LAB-LAB/BEARDIE asleep at his feet...

Eb’s ? I think his farther came from Napier way from memory he’s a good solid looking dog
Bears parents Jazz orange and white and Moose black and white on the rangiteki river and later in the video is Charlie’s litter mate @johnd you may see the resemblance Izzy I think her name was
Yeah can see the resemblance. This line of dogs sure throw some comedians.
What I like most about the Brit, is their grit and drive.
