Temperament :
They are easy to train, sensitive, and sweet-natured. Brittanys are excellent with children but they are an exuberant breed and if not well supervised may accidentally harm a small child. They get along well with other dogs and enjoy working with other dogs as a team. As pets Brittanys are first-rate companion dogs but they do need plenty of exercise. Their outgoing nature makes them poor candidates for protectors.
