Are Brittanys Too Hyper?
Like most sporting dogs, Brittanys are active dogs and require exercise. They like to run, and should be given plenty of opportunity to do so, whether in a fenced yard or at the end of a leash. A Brittany who does not receive adequate exercise can be destructive and resort to chewing, digging and excessive barking. Moreover, a well-exercised dog often makes a better house pet. Some Brittanys are calm, and do not require as much exercise. Some are even couch potatoes, and would rather spend the day indoors lounging on a bed or sofa. Brittanys are best placed in a home with a fenced yard. Brittanys do not always make good apartment or townhouse dogs.
