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.
