Brittany and Brittany pictures
A Brittany is typically quite athletic, compact, and solidly built
without being heavy. Other characteristics include long legs, and
their expressions are usually of intelligence, vigour, and alertness.
Their gait is elastic, long, and free.
Some Brittanys are born with naturally short tails and others with
long tails. If born with a long tail it is normally docked to a
length of 3 to 10 centimetres (1 to 4 inches). In countries where
docking is illegal long-tailed Brittanys should carry their tails
level with the back or slightly lower. The breed is noted for being
easy to train, sensitive, and sweet-natured. Many enthusiasts agree
that it takes little more than a stern look or cross word to chastise
a Brittany. As a consequence, care must be taken during training
so as not to break the dog’s spirit. Brittanys are excellent with
children but they are an exuberant breed and if not well supervised
may accidentally harm a small child. Many of these loveable dogs
will, if allowed, even climb upon your lap and rest their head on
your shoulder. Brittanys get along well with other dogs and enjoy
working with other dogs as a team. Many Brittany enthusiasts encourage
new Brittany owners to be a two dog family. The dogs are active
and require frequent exercise and room to run. As pets Brittanys
are first-rate companion dogs but they do need plenty of exercise.
Their outgoing nature makes them poor candidates for protectors.
The Brittany makes a good house pet as long as it receives daily
mental and physical exercise. If not given sufficient exercise,
it can become destructive.
