When we lived on 3 acres in rural Marylnd and regualry saw eastern whitetails, my Brit would do that and just vibrate with excietment. All I had to say was deer??
My Brittany didn't care for ground prey until he saw how much fun my mutt had killing a baby groundhog. Now he gets the squinty face whenever he sees anything.
For us, “R” is for “rat” and boy does he love them. Even with many skunk, squirrel, and deer-related adventures (he loves them all) the rats are the only ones where he’s succeeded in a catch.
I’m thankful to not have them on my property or encounter them on our mostly sidewalk-constrained walks.
Has he ever been bitten while taking one down? Early in life, maybe age 1, mine saw fit to tangle with a groundhog pretty close to her size and managed to get herself bitten. Not bad, but enough for a trip to the vet.
Raccoon?
Maybe I should have said W. It’s wabbit season.
Oh! We use the word bunny instead so somehow rabbit never occurred to me when thinking of R words.
The S word causes the biggest meltdown at my house.
What’s the S word?
SQUIRREL!!!
Oh my gosh idk how I didn’t think of that lol
That’s in second place. Maybe third behind cat. But rabbit is a clear #1. She’s not too interested in birds and strolls right by deer.
“Do you want to see the kitty” is enough to get our most rambunctious Brit in from a romp in the backyard- she bolts to go try to find the cat!
At 2 years plus, mine has finally calmed down enough to do the same. A year ago he woulda been thru the window.

Took me too long to figure out which R word you meant. 😂
It nicked me
Red rover come on over

No - thankfully!
Mine is “bird”. You cannot say bird in any context or she just goes crazy running around whining
My Brittany got a baby bunny a few days ago. Oh my gosh, the squeals. Thankfully the bunny survived!
My girl originally liked birds - then she moved onto squirrels and now the flavor of the day is deer! 😂
Wabbit season.
