My friend picked up a half starved Brittany Sunday while deer hunting

[Jabba]

and then pawned her off on me. She seems to be about 5 or 6 months old. Real sweet but VERY timid. She was skin and bones... and I have been feeding her and letting her rest a lot to get her strength back up. She seems to be ok with my dogs, although she wants to defend the food bowl. I have been keeping her in the crate when not directly supervised as she is not completely housebroken.

Does anyone have any insight about Brittanys? I know they can be timid when abused... and she sure is timid, but very sweet, and loves to be around people. I am gonna let her get her strenght up a little before I get a pigeon for her to play with.

She is also very jumpy right now too. I am afraid that she may be gun shy. I'll cross that bridge when I get there though. Baby steps.
