We have owned 3 Brittanys. All were great and different (from pretty mellow to high endurance). All were great companions. Sometimes comical-will put a smile on your face. Smart and sweet. Loyal. Love the breed.
We've been looking around for another young dog / puppy. I love the temperment , and size of the Brittany (ours ran between 36-42 lbs). You DO have to excercise them. I took mine for a run an hour a day, and that barely takes the steam out of them. We had a female Llewellin Setter, that was just as sweet and mellow as the come in the house. Alert and ready outside. Wonderful dog ( 37 lbs).
We found a 9 week female puppy which is a Brittany / English setter (75% Brittany: 25% English Setter) mix. Parents are 37 and 42 lbs, so it should be a good size, and temperment for us. Hopefully she'll be healthy, due to a little mixing of the genetic pot. Picking her up Thursday.
Good luck. Don't overlook mixed-breeds.
