Information on Brittany Spaniel Puppies

Brittanys are medium-sized, leggy dogs bred both as sporting and companion dogs. The Brittany puppy makes a wonderful pet if it is given proper training and exercise. The breed was formerly called the Brittany spaniel but is now referred to as simply Brittany.

  1. Identification

    • According to the American Kennel Club, the Brittany's dense coat may be wavy or flat and either orange and white or liver and white in color. At maturity, the Brittany will reach 30 to 40 pounds and be 17-1/2 to 20-1/2 inches at the shoulder.

    Socialization

    • The Brittany is a loving, gentle, eager-to-please dog but it is very important that it receive firm, consistent training from puppyhood. The Dog Breed Info Center website states that Brittanys are good with children if they are introduced to them in puppyhood.

    Exercise

    • This breed needs lots of exercise, otherwise their pent-up energy leads them to be hyperactive. They have great stamina and should be given a long walk or jog every day.

    Grooming

    • Brittany puppies require little grooming besides regular brushing.

    Choosing

    • Mt. View Brittanys, a Brittany breeder, points out that Brittanys may be bred from both field (hunting) and show stock, so it is important to speak to the breeder about a puppy's pedigree.
