Most often we are told that people want a puppy so they can bond with their dog more easily. In addition, the activity level and personality of an older dog are much easier to ascertain, so you can be confident you've found just the right dog for your household and lifestyle. The Brittany's family is very important to him. While Brittanys can be very attached and loyal to their owners, most also have no problem adjusting to new situations and bond easily with new people. We have placed dogs 10 years old and more which have had no trouble adjusting to a new home, new rules and new people.
All dogs shed, some more than others.
A Brittany's shedding can be kept to a minimum with a good brushing once or twice a week. Most Brittanys are active dogs. They are sporting dogs, bred to run for long periods of time hunting game. Very many do well with a medium sized yard and a good walk every so often. Some require more exercise and a few are just couch potatoes.
