I'm going to get around to creating a disambiguation page for the term "birdy"Wcrowe 19:49, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think I got carried away here. Too much detail? Comments?Wcrowe 13:53, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The info is excellent. Now that you ask, though, I wonder whether training & method of work really apply to most gundogs and ought to go into a more general article like that one? Elf | Talk 15:39, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

My answer to this would be to point you towards mains power plug, too much detail? Not possible ;) -- sannse (talk) 21:23, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

agreed, I wouldn't complain if there was even more info here.... --cgw 17 mar 2005

I thought of that too (that the training would apply to other breeds). The trouble with that is that I think er breeds are trained pretty much the same way, and I know that other breeds appear to work pretty much the same way, but my only experience has been specifically with Brittanies. Looks like I need to research this some more. Perhaps then, I will move this information to a general article.

I think it could be a good topic to include. The training these dogs go through is interesting and it is amazing to watch these dogs work. It's almost an art form, really. I think it's too bad so many people don't get to see it in person.Wcrowe 04:31, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Size

"The breed standard calls for a dog weighing between 30 and 40 pounds (13 to 18 kg) and standing 17½ to 20½ inches (44 to 52 cm)." Which breed standard does this refer to? Pharaoh Hound 21:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to generalize it. After all, the AKC is important, but isn't the only KC. Pharaoh Hound 19:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
