About the Brittany
The Brittany is a compact, athletic pointing dog with seemingly boundless energy and a bright, enthusiastic outlook on life. Sometimes called a Brittany Spaniel, this is a true sporting breed that needs vigorous daily exercise, ideally running, hiking, or field work, or it can become restless and hard to settle indoors. Brittanys are quick learners and eager partners, though many are soft and sensitive, responding best to upbeat, reward-based training rather than harsh corrections. Their short coat is low-maintenance, but their high drive and need for companionship are not; they dislike being left alone for long stretches. For an active owner who wants an affectionate, versatile outdoor buddy, the Brittany shines.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.

Questions to ask a Brittany breeder
- Are the sire and dam OFA hip-tested?
- Have the parents had recent eye examinations?
- What are the energy level and biddability of the parents?
Health considerations to discuss
Hip dysplasia. Educational only, not diagnostic; request OFA hip evaluations on both parents.
Inherited eye disease. Educational only; look for eye exams by a veterinary ophthalmologist registered with OFA/CAER.
Epilepsy. Educational only; not diagnosable by a single test, so ask breeders about seizure history in their lines.
Informational only — always consult a veterinarian and ask breeders for documentation. Sources: AKC Brittany breed overview · The American Brittany Club (AKC parent club) · OFA health testing database — written by PuppyList editorial
