The Brittany is a happy, lively, intelligent breed that enjoys hunting and working, and even enjoys working with other dogs. Affectionate and independent, the Brittany can make a good family dog. Because of its manageable size, the Brittany is a popular choice as a companion dog among hunters. The Brittany typically stands between 17 and 21 inches in height (43 to 53 centimetres) and weighs 30 to 40 pounds (14 to 18 kilograms).
Brittanys are most commonly white with orange patches, but they may also be liver and white, black and white, liver tri-color, or black tri-color, in either a clear or roan pattern. Black is not an acceptable color under the guidelines of the American Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club, but it otherwise considered acceptable in the rest of the world.
The coat of the Brittany is dense, of moderate length, and can be either flat or wavy. Slight feathering can appear on the ears and legs, but dense feathering is not desirable and can impede the dog’s ability to work. The Brittany is sweet in nature and notably easy to train. Some say that a stern look is all that is needed to scold a misbehaving Brittany. Care must be used not to be overly harsh with these dogs so as to break the animal’s spirit. They are highly sensitive and eager to please.
These dogs are energetic and must be exercised, physically and mentally, on a daily basis. If not, they can become destructive as they try to entertain themselves. Brittanys are good with children if introduced to them at an early age. Because of their exuberance, care must be taken that the dog does not knock small children over. They share a love of human and animal companionship alike, and enjoy being part of a multiple dog family.
