They are known for their versatility, intelligence, and energetic nature, making them popular choices for hunting enthusiasts and active families alike. Brittanys are primarily bred to bird hunt, and they excel at pointing out birds to their owners. They are also skilled at retrieving downed birds.<br></span></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iMzYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjIwMCIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS9lbWJlZC94VDV6RTVvaXFvWT9zaT0zLWVvWExpaGp3ZzgwYnE5IiB0aXRsZT0iWW91VHViZSB2aWRlbyBwbGF5ZXIiIGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyPSIwIiBhbGxvdz0iYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlcjsgYXV0b3BsYXk7IGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZTsgZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhOyBneXJvc2NvcGU7IHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZTsgd2ViLXNoYXJlIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+" data-az-id="gbqls3eri5" data-azat-pid="gbkrfyv6wi" id="gbkrfyv6wi" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azat-an_infinite="no" data-azat-box_model="000000" data-azcnt="true"><iframe width="360" height="200" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xT5zE5oiqoY?si=3-eoXLihjwg80bq9" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div class="az-element az-row row az-row--md" style="" data-az-id="gbud90246i" data-azat-pid="gbud90246i" id="gbud90246i" data-azb="az_row" data-az-human-readable="Row" data-az-human-readable-en="Row" data-azat-device="md" data-azcnt="true" draggable="false"><div class="az-element az-ctnr az-column col-md-12" style="" data-az-id="gbr8w136of" data-azat-pid="gbr8w136of" id="gbr8w136of" data-azb="az_column" data-az-human-readable="Column" data-az-human-readable-en="Column" data-azat-width="1/1" data-azcnt="true"><div class="az-element az-text" style="" data-az-id="gb8nb0xmpw" data-azat-pid="gb8nb0xmpw" id="gb8nb0xmpw" data-azb="az_text" data-az-human-readable="Text" data-az-human-readable-en="Text" data-azcnt="true" data-azat-box_model="000000"><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:11"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>History</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="8:1-8:73"><span style="font-size:18px;">The Brittany's origins can be traced back to the 17th century in Brittany, France. They were developed by crossing local pointing dogs with setters and spaniels. The Brittany was officially recognized as a breed in France in 1907 and was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s. The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized the Brittany as a separate breed in 1931.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="10:1-10:14"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Appearance</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="12:1-12:185"><span style="font-size:18px;">Brittanys are medium-sized dogs, standing 17-20 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing 30-40 pounds. They have a long, double coat that can be white and orange, white and liver, or roan. Their coat is thick and dense, and they shed regularly. Brittanys have a long, narrow head with a pointed muzzle, small ears, and dark, almond-shaped eyes.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="14:1-14:15"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Temperament</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="16:1-16:316"><span style="font-size:18px;">Brittanys are intelligent, eager to please, and loyal dogs. They are also active and playful, and they need plenty of exercise. Brittanys are good with children and other pets, and they make excellent family dogs. However, they can be shy or reserved with strangers, and they may bark at unfamiliar people or noises.<br></span><br></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="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" data-az-id="gbh7wz76kz" data-azat-pid="gbh7wz76kz" id="gbh7wz76kz" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azcnt="true" data-azat-box_model="000000"><iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=stormsai-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B0859YFWF6&asins=B0859YFWF6&linkId=6cc0d7eda7c1ea9c588c68c728150785&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

They should be brushed at least once a week, and more often during shedding season. Brittanys also need regular bathing, but they should not be bathed too often, as this can strip their coat of its natural oils. Brittanys are relatively active dogs, and they need at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. They enjoy walks, hikes, and playing fetch.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="22:1-22:12"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Training</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="24:1-24:215"><span style="font-size:18px;">Brittanys are highly intelligent and trainable dogs. They are eager to please their owners, and they respond well to positive reinforcement training methods. Brittanys can excel in a variety of activities, including agility, obedience, and hunting trials.</span></p><p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:18px;"><a draggable="false" data-cke-saved-href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1374504/1294983/9383?sourceid=imp_0000111122…; href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1374504/1294983/9383?sourceid=imp_0000111122…; id="1294983" target="_top"><img alt="" draggable="false" data-cke-saved-src="//a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9383-1294983" src="//a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9383-1294983" style="height:250px; width:300px"></a><img draggable="false" data-cke-saved-src="https://imp.pxf.io/i/1374504/1294983/9383" src="https://imp.pxf.io/i/1374504/1294983/9383" style="height:0px; position:absolute; visibility:hidden; width:0px"></span></p><p data-sourcepos="26:1-26:10"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Health</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="28:1-28:234"><span style="font-size:18px;">Brittanys are generally healthy dogs, but they are prone to a few health problems, including hip dysplasia, eye problems, and thyroid disease.
