About the Breed

The Brittany is athletic, intelligent, quick and curious. It is a kind, adventurous breed which shows a large measure of independence. If not sufficiently exercised, the Brittany will become destructive.

The Brittany gets along well with children, but should be monitored around small children due to its high energy level. The Brittany gets along well with other dogs and pets; Brittanys are recommended for homes of at least two dogs so they have a companion for play at all times. They are kind to strangers, which makes them a poor choice for personal protection.

The Brittany requires an hour or more of serious exertion every day. It is not sufficient to take the Brittany for walks, which makes it unsuitable for apartment life. The Brittany is happiest living where it can run freely and take part in field sports.
