Not only is the Brittany the quintessential hunting and field dog, but they are also one of the perfect family dogs. Loving, gentle, yet still active and ready for fun on the spur of the moment! Note: We know it is just Brittany, but for SEO purposes we use Brittany Spaniel in the title. That and to separate us from an icon of a pop singer. Forgive me.
While your Brittany may never see a bird in the field (or a field for that matter), they are still genetically predisposed to sniff to get their info. All dogs use their nose for sniffing out the facts, but those bred to do a certain job using their sense of smell are more tuned into the info.
