What “Started” Means
A started Brittany from us is more than just a puppy:
- Basic obedience is in place (walking on leash, recall, etc.)
- Basic bird work begun: track scent, point, sometimes work close with wing & shot exposure
- Not yet fully finished — needs field seasoning, more consistency & refinement
If you want a dog you can take hunting this season, but still mold it to your style, a started dog is a solid middle ground.
How to Choose the Right Dog
Here are some things to think about:
- Level of training you need now: Do you want someone who’s almost ready, or more responsive to customize with your style?
- Pedigree & traits: Bloodlines imply traits: stamina, style of work (close vs wide), nose, bird drive.
- Temperament & style: Some dogs are more independent, others more people-pleasing. Match to your hunting or training style.
- Budget: Started dogs cost less than fully finished ones but more than puppies, since training is underway.
- Support & follow-through: We include pedigree info, and can advise you on how to proceed with field training to get the most out of your dog.
