Appreciate the information. If there is something you really do need in my area, it's an ability to stand up to adverse weather.... Brittanys are great, no argument there, but it's nice to be able to encourage the new local(ish) breeders that are bringing in Griffons. And, what I hear is that Brittanys seem to be tending towards a setter-like tendency to work 'way out beyond the guns, not something I want in the closed-in bush conditions around here. I have in fact encountered no fewer than two 'way out in the bush who had 'lost their owners'- I trust both cases ended happily.
