Is a Brittany a good family dog?
Brittanys make fantastic family dogs — by nature they are intelligent and of good temperament. They are also very active, and although most any Britt loves a good snooze on your bed or living room couch, they do need regular outdoor exercise. A fenced back yard protects your dog against cars (and neighbor kids and dogs), but most likely your dog will only get enough exercise if you’re out there, too. Better yet, daily walks (or runs) on a leash will be the best exercise for you BOTH! Do not ever leave your dog tied or chained outside alone — he’ll get lonely, bored, or even seriously injured.
