BRITTANY
Characteristics,
care, health & breeder listings below.
 |
The Brittany is an incredibly loving breed. They want to be a part of your
family. Brittanys are great sized dogs and are between 30 and 40
lbs. They are energetic dogs, but are not high strung. Brittanys
are easily trained with a gentle hand. They do not respond well to
harshness. They aim to please and are very intelligent. Brittanys
were originally bred to be hunting dogs, but they are equally
happy being just family companions. They are not at all
aggressive, so they would not make good guard dogs. They are
social animals that can adapt well to most any situation. They
require moderate exercise and little grooming. A Brittany is great
with children and other pets.
