For the pet, bathe only when the dog is very dirty and a good thorough brushing won't do the job. You can use any basic dog shampoo for this. Like all dogs, Brittanys need food and regular veterinary care, including routine checkups and vaccinations. They need a few good toys, especially if left alone for long periods of time. We highly recommend crate training for all dogs, especially during puppy housebreaking.
Obedience training is always a plus to help make a good pet.
Training and socializing from an early age is very important to develop a happy Britt and owner. Talk to your dog's breeder, or another breeder if yours isn't available. Most breeders and vets can give good advice on general maintenance if you have any questions. Many people have the misconception that all Brittanys are high-strung and need many miles of exercise everyday. But if you meet enough Brittanys from different lines, you'll find that what the breeders tell you is true - Brittanys are not a breed for generalizations.
