Brittanys are compact, closely-knit dogs of medium size and build. Leggy dogs and very agile, they can work the open field as well as the dense cover. Happy and alert, neither mean nor shy, they are equally content at home as the family companion and its guardian. Britts, being very intelligent are highly trainable. They are active dogs needing ample daily exercise.
Britts are good with children and make excellent watchdogs.
