A few things to consider...

When choosing the Brittany (who are part of the Hunter Pointer Retriever breed) a few facts have to be borne in mind: Unlike many breeds of gundogs in the UK; the Brittany remains truly dual purpose in the fact that even if sold as a pet or other, he/she will retain its working ability and hunting instinct. As in France; their country of origin, a dog can not be just a show Champion or just a Field trial Champion. A show dog needs a field trial award and vice versa, a field trial Champion will need a "show" qualification.

What this means is that your future puppy will still hunt and quarter the fields but if not trained and let off the lead at a young age, could very well hunt the whole of the county in 5 minutes flat!

A puppy will need to explore and use his nose, keeping it on the lead until he/she is a teenager (6 to 7 months) is a recipe for disaster. A Brittany has a reputation for being a little stubborn, this is not correct, its his passion that will take over in doing what he is bred to do.

This is a very intelligent breed, calm in the house, affectionate, very versatile and will happily do obedience, agility, working tests, trials and all sorts. However a good training regime is essential so the Brittany does not become a hooligan, a title which is only the fault of the owner, not the puppy.

He is good with children, though can be boisterous for little ones as he likes to jump up to be closer to his owners. Children should also be aware that playing rough games like tug of war with toys without letting the pup have them back, could result later in " mouthing" over excitement and possibly becoming dominant .

A dog is like a person, they need "chill out" time with a place of their own and time to sleep. Remember a responsible breeder will always give you back up if you think things are going wrong.

The Brittany is the most rewarding breed one could wish for, and I hope this paragraph will help in your future choice...
