They are great dogs and I would recommend them to anyone. I hunt in New England where the temperatures are mild compared to any desert, but so long as you supply enough water and rest they should be fine. A friend of mine has a Vizsla, and its a great dog, but not the best bird dog. My Brittany took some training to perfect, but she had the basics down almost "out of the box". A well bred dog has instincts that would take years to train. Good Luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> I’ve hunted with a Brittany for years. They are great dogs and I would recommend them to anyone.

Several of my friends have and they are outstanding bird dogs. Great with pheasant and quail, good disposition, highly intelligent and a good house dog as well. They are also pretty easy to train. I've always preferred labs because I also hunt duck and geese. If I was just after upland birds I would consider it a toss up between a German Shorthair and a lab just because I like labs so darn much! I would definately recommend them for upland birds they are probably the premier bird dog. I've never hunted behind a Britanny so can't give you any info about them.<br><b>References : </b><br> I’ve never owned a German shorthair, just Labs, Beagles and a Golden Retriever.
