The Breed Standard describes the Brittany as having an "exceedingly keen game sense". Friendly, sweet natured and sensitive. The Brittany is regarded as being easy to train but sensitive to criticism and so should be treated in an even-handed manner. They should get on fine with any other pets or children provided that they are adequately socialized.

Dogs should ideally measure 48-51cm at the withers, bitches 47-50cm.

A generally healthy breed, especially if they enjoy enough exercise, although there is a higher than normal incidence of canine epilepsy amongst the Brittany. Their athletic nature also makes them prone to hip Dysplasia.

Care should be taken to check the ears for overgrown hair and debris.

Remember! All breed profiles are general and every dog is an individual.
