Care Tips

Brittanys are high-energy sporting dogs that need at least an hour of vigorous exercise daily and excel at hunting, agility, and flyball. Their medium-length coat requires brushing a few times per week and occasional trimming around the ears and feet. They are sensitive dogs and respond best to positive, reward-based training methods.
