Our New Family Member!

Yea! We finally found the perfect dog. :) She is a 3 year old, female, Brittany (Spaniel). I attached the picture they took at the shelter for the Brittany Rescue Website. I've been finding out alot about this breed, and theyre called the 'weekend hunter' because they hunt but they dont mind sitting around the house relaxing either. This dog is a pointer/retriever dog and she points at everything squirrels and birds. She's really good though and comes when I call her. I guess her original owner was a hunter and trained her but she didnt have the 'drive' so he gave her to a friend, she lived in a trailer park and couldnt keep her so she ended up at the animal shelter. She got adopted once and was actually taken to Huntington Beach for 2 weeks, but the landlord there wouldnt let her keep Chloe. So, we got her after being back at the shelter for less than 24 hours. I went by myself and just looked at her and knew she was a good dog. Her eyes are so gentle and loving, that's what drew me to her. She is turning out to be a wonderful dog, and great with the boys. She's very patient with them and just wags her stubby tail. I guess there's AKC registration papers that exist for her somewhere too, and I'm going to try and see if I can get ahold of them. I know her breed needs to stay active so I'm thinking of taking up a dog sport with her to keep her busy. Perhaps agility or flyball, which both I've heard this breed is good at. Flyball sounds kinda fun, like a relay race where they run down and have to catch a ball in the air then run back and let another dog of their team go. She's doing great and has adapted very well. Even the vet was commenting on how well mannered she was for her breed, and for being new from the shelter.
