Let's talk Brittany

You say “Brittany”, we say “lust for life”. This beautiful dog gives 100% to whatever they’re doing, whether that’s playing with children or other pets, running around, or chasing after birds. The energetic temperament of the Brittany, bred as a gundog, will not be for everyone. But their happy-go-lucky attitude makes them a charming canine companion. The Brittany is not well-suited to apartment life but this is due more to their high-energy than their size. If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, then the Brittany may well be the breed for you.
