My Brittany Spaniel passed away and let me tell you, it was he was the best dog I’ve ever had. Every single day he was full of energy until the end.
Awww
Our Brittney very laid back dog not energetic as yet claim on other Brittney sites.he is 23 tall ,64 pounds. We walk when we can. We are we retired and don't walk as much as we should.Hes very polite and friendly to all.loves animals and kids people. He panamines.too
@@aletaanderson8725 He sounds like a very nice dog! my dog was an anxious little bugger and unfortunately he had a heart condition. he would still book it whenever he got out of the backyard fence!
I have a relative that had a pack of Britanie's. They seemed very energetic, they even bite at your legs when you walk by them. Maybe it has to do with them being with other dogs? but yeah I think it would make sense that there is differences in the energy of dogs. Some dogs might adapt to their owners lifestyles differently.
To anyone reading this, :) have a wonderful day!
The very best!
Had one for nearly 13 years of my 19 year life. Best friend a boy could ever have. He was there for my entire adolescence. I miss him everyday, but I’m very grateful to have been blessed with such a well-behaved dog. As others have said, they do need a lot of exercise and they LOVE to hunt. I highly recommend getting a Brittany to anybody, you won’t regret it! :)
My Brittany, Buddy, passed away at 17 last year. I had known him from the time I was a child to the time I was a man in my late 20s, and he had been my best and most faithful friend. Full of energy and personality, Buddy endeared himself to our cul-de-sac, earning their absolute trust, such to the extent that the neighbors were comfortable with him going off leash on Halloween to greet neighborhood trick or treaters as the "mayor" of the cul-de-sac. Buddy was a wonderfully affectionate dog, and during the tumultuous years of puberty he provided great comfort to me, often sensing when I was sad or lonely and jumping into bed to snuggle with me.
Brittanys are a great breed for young families; relatively low-maintenance, affectionate, patient around small humans, and very playful and cuddly. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this breed!
Our Brittany is by far the best dog we have ever had. So loyal, energetic and loving. Monty is a true star. Can’t recommend them highly enough. But they must be exercised lots every day. The more effort and time you put into these gems, the more you will get back.
My family had 3 brittanies growing up. They are fantastic animals, loving, loyal, playful, ridiculously fun, and devoted. They require a lot of activity and exercise. Also their coat needs a lot of regular brushing. My family’s last brittney lived to be 17 years old and Queenie is still very missed. If you have a young family and at least a medium sized yard, add a brittney to your family.
As a Brittany owner this message is approved. Definitely approved.
Rupok Khan No. Though make sure to supply plenty of water especially when their young.
Rupok Khan They chew a lot when there puppies and usually don’t stop until there One and they are also very picky with food. Brittanys are hard to leash train in my experience but if they are trained from a young age they should do well. You also need a decent sized yard I would recommend medium to large. They love to be outside so we keep our Brittany outside with lots of water most of the time though she does come in to play, eat, and sleep. (Keep in mind that your Brittany could be very different than mine but this is just my experience with them)
@Rupok Khan American Brittany's were specifically bred to be bird dogs, contrary to what the uninformed video says. This can be either a blessing or an annoyance because when on a leash they tend to want to "get to work" and find birds. Luckily though, when a bird is found they will stop and point, and not give chase. Our 2 year old not only points birds, but points the dog cookie jar in the kitchen, or the pantry where the chews are kept. Its pretty entertaining. I ask her what she wants and she lets me know by pointing.
But if you're going to own a Brittany make sure you take them on walks at least once a it will make them chill out a little bit
As a Brittany owner YES YES YES YES very nice but crazy dog!
We had two french Britney's Minnie and Speckles. They were sisters and loved the outdoors. Went on daily excursions. Loved to watch them teach me to enjoy life. Sadly they have past minnie at 17yrs 5 mo. and Speckles at 16 yrs 4 mo. Miss those girls dearly. We now have another Canton. Shes 4.5 yrs. She's loveable.
The best dog I ever had was half Brittany and half....something else. He was extremely intelligent, loyal, protective, he even showed a sense of humor. He was my best friend while my husband was deployed. I fell in love with the Brittany breed and would love another one. My husband likes beagles. A half beagle half Brittany would be perfection.
Brittanys are excellent show and confirmation dogs!
I've had our Brittany now going on 7 years. She didn't call down until sge was 5 yrs old. I had a white Husky for 14 years and I saw my Peaches at 4 days old and fell in love with her immediately. Huge difference raising her as a puppy vs my Scooby-Dee (white husky) I miss my Scooby-Dee every day and it took me awhile to get fully attached to Peaches, I now cannot imagine my life without her. She is definitely a mommys girls. When I sit on my couch she comes right next to me, its almost like she cant get close enough..
I love my Peaches and am so glad I chose a Brittany... thanks for your video

Not a traditional hunting dog? Ha. That's funny, all they do is hunt.
Mine hunts bugs

@@lunchbox671 mine has found many pheasants
@@lunchbox671 Mine catch rabbits but don't hurt them, she brings them alive
I am looking for my 5th Brittany, best of both worlds. Hunting all day, and loves there family, we are the pack. Always meets you at the door!
Bonjour Animal Wised 😆Very good points Thank you very much 👍
My dad is getting a Brittany and I’m so excited
I have brittany spaniel hes 4 years old and his fur colour is gold
I’m getting one soon. I literally can’t wait. 😍
Marissa Morton you will love your pup!!!! Spoil & love him/her, and let us know what you name it!!! Mine is the dark brown & white and her name is Sasha. Watch for ticks-Sasha is a tick magnet!!! But she is smart as a whip, spoiled as all get out, and very loving. I assume she would crate train.....I am a horrible pet owner. She, along with the 2 cats she claimed when my sons cat had kittens (I kid you not these cats are about as big as she is and she is quite proud LOL!!!!!) all sleep with my hubby & I on the bed. No crate training for us lol.......Good luck!!!!!
Jill Anderson that is so cute
My Britney just turned three and he's chill down a little bit barely LOL
Hey,I have a Brittany and she's amazing, full of energy and loving and I'm trying to pick up tips to train her for hunting
That's a cute little dog and looks like it'd be alot fun to have one day when I'm no longer driving a truck that might be a dog I'd like to look into having I just don't want to have a dog while I'm on the road because most companies don't allow you to have pets one day I'll be staying home all the time that's definitely dog I'd like to take a look at
They're really good dogs but very hyper my Britney is my first dog and he is in the best
My grand father owned. At least 7 Britts. Bird hunters eg. Quail, dove and grouse ❤ 6:02 in
.
I'm getting a brittnay this spring. My dad is gonna train it to hunt. I'm pretty sure they are a traditional hunting dog but correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, they are soooooo cute and perfect for a family. I can't wait to get mine!
It's a hunting dog. No question about it. This video is misleading.
We love our Brittany, Alice in Maryland. What a wonderful, easy, joyful friend. 🐶
I like your dog's name, I take care of one named Indiana Holmes, the adventure dog.
"although not a traditional hunting dog?" That's LITERALLY what they were bred for...
YAA!!!!
When i got a dog they told me he was a cavalier king Charles and he looked like a cavalier puppy but he was actually a Brittany
Best dogs I ever could have owned
i have one but the main down side is their smarts, my brittany can open my pull out trash can and eat and she is VERY GOOD at stealing food lol
Typical Brittany
Mine won’t stop jumping on the table, love her though.
I have a Brittany, and he’s exactly like that.
Please change the title. They are NOT a spaniel. Spaniels originate from Spain. The breed is called the American Brittany. I've had now 7 of these wonderful dogs throughout my life and i doubt i'll ever go with a different breed. They're smart, loyal, fun, have plenty of energy, and are great with kids. In fact, i've been around literally hundreds of these dogs due to my parents involvement with the American Brittany Club and i have yet to encounter a mean one.

Not a traditional hunting dog? Are you insane? These dogs are quite possibly the ultimate bird dog. If you've ever taken one for a walk you'd immediately see they have birds on the brain and will instinctually find and point them. There is a reason why they're known as a "Dual-Dog". Its because they're both a show dog and a fantastic bird dog. Especially for upland game like pheasant, quail, chucker, grouse, and most are natural retrievers.
Come on people they drop Spaniel
"american"
Originates from France lmao
It's a french breed, stupid.
My Brittney is 23inches and 64 pounds is this concerning? Hes laid back. We have a fenced back yard we walk 30 min a day and every chance we get take him a ride in car. He has toys only wants to play a little twice a day. What kind of food does he need only gets 1 and half cups a day of food. On glucosime chews tartar cleaning chews from vet, and jell for tartar. He loves a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on dry food with little water. Am I doing ok for him. Hes very laid back age 6.cuddly all the normal traits. Thanks for in put.
He's twice the weight he should be, if he is a purebred Brittany.
We are laid back and we don't let him run free except our back yard. We're retired. Hes 6. He was registered.
I give my girl only one cup of food 2 xs a day she weighs in at 33 lowest-35#'s at her highest weight. Has your vet ever told you that he/she should not weigh more than 45#'s the highest weight to be at a healthy weight?
Mine only gets her dog food, teeth cleaning chew and she will get fresh veggies when we are eating to keep her happy. Every now and then she will get the training size biscuit one or two per day. Just curious why you feed yours 1.5 cups of food 2xs a day.
About 25 lbs overweight. They need at least an hour exercise a day.
@@keithrobinson4337 I can not exersise dog that much he gets tired and we walk a mile or 2 that's all we can do but it's all at once and not every day. We are 70 and have bad backs and knees. He was 3 he weighted 55 pounds when we got him from shelter. He's never been real active laid back dog. We are doing to check thyroid soon.
About to a rescue female dog of this breed. Not treated too well previously and has a limp apparently as was owned by a hunter and got grazed on her shoulder by a bullet. 3 years old. Any tips people, both on the breed and settling a rescue dog into a new home? Thanks in advance.
RIP Charlee Juanita Lang
Have owned them for over 30 yrs. After 10 yr void. Have 2 beautiful sisters. To me. No better dog.
What kind of food should you feed them. We use canadae.
I found over winter of 2022 my boy gained 8 pounds! So I started him on 1/2 cup kibble with half cup of farmers dog supper 1/4 cup kibble with 1/4 cor l ess of organic chicken bone broth. One small milk bone a day if he wants ,1 joint chew with 60 percent chicken and glucosamine. 1 dental chew at night 1 special dental chew from vet. He gets plaque easy. We also spray plaque in moth use tooth paste for dogs and water has mouth wash. He's not very active he's 8 been walking 2 miles a day.
My dog cries every time we tie him and tends to escape.. Looking for advice
My dog has grey fur and white neck white on top neck and white near nose white fingers and grey mines is a pitball
My dog is supposedly a brittany×golden retriver. She is a rescue so we don't really know but she certainly has the looks, but she is the size of a golden. She is old and blind so she isn't active at all and has no interest in playing. I'd love to find something for her to do, but she is happy to just sleep and snuggle.
I’ve got a 5 year old Brittany Spaniel, apparently they never gave them an off switch
Its primarily a hunting dog...
I have a Brittany all he wants to do is hunt and they drop the Spaniel so it's only Brittany now not Brittany Spaniel
These are not spaniels they have the behaviour of pointer or setter dogs, it's only the colouration which is similar
mine is more of a hunter than me but go off.
It's a Hunting dog!
Yubi Yubi
Not a spaniel and was actually bred for hunting. After the first 30 seconds of this video I gave up due to the very poor research and rubbish spouted by the creator.
they were always hunting dogs.
Why are cruel people cropping their tails? Just don’t!
My brittany spaniel, is deadass annoying, i take him 2 walks a day and he slow in the head.
This guy hasn't a clue... as demonstrated by word and lens. Need help or clarification, see the American Kennel Club and or American Brittany Club....
it is not a spaniel!!!!!
That's what I said they dropped the Spaniel
I'm a nine-year-old and I know that
Show dog? No, it's a sporting dog. They hunt. I have one. He's a bird or gun dog.
My Brittany is AKC registered and her dad and granddad were both grand champions in dog shows and have won numerous trophy for best in show! I would have done this for Peaches only I am not healthy enough to have done what was needed to train for the dog shows. My vet who shows dog said she would have been a natural, with her immediate stance when she stands. This makes me feel good to know that she could have been a winner too!!! I can't see her as a hunting dog, although I'm sure she could have been trained for one as she is super smart and an easy learner
