Personality & Temperament

The Brittany is enthusiastic, sensitive, and eager to work alongside its owner. They are affectionate with family and generally good with children and other dogs. Their high energy level means they need substantial daily exercise to remain settled indoors. Brittanys respond well to positive, gentle training and can become anxious if handled harshly. They are best suited to active households that enjoy outdoor activities and can provide consistent engagement.
