Beautiful dog. I just lost my last Brittany this past weekend. He was about to turn 15 (pretty old for a Brittany). I've had three of them and my experience has been as others have said. They respond well to positive reinforcement and don't work well with a heavy hand. Mine have been high energy and needed some time to run, but are great family dogs and seem to have good hunting instincts. I hope to have another one someday myself. Good luck with your new pup!
