Good to know
- Pointing bird dog: bred to find and point game birds, they have a strong nose and lots of drive in the field.
- High energy: they are athletic and need vigorous daily exercise, such as running, hiking or field work.
- Sensitive learners: they are eager to please and respond best to gentle, positive training.
- Easy coat: the flat or wavy coat needs only weekly brushing and checks for burrs after outings.
Getting out with a Brittany
Bred to keep going: they need plenty of exercise every day, like long trail walks, hikes and off-leash play where it's allowed.
