National Brittany Rescue And Adoption Network Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa Region

Brittanies are high energy dogs bred for hunting. They were bred to cover lots of ground hunting for birds and they are very good at it. Anyone who has ever seen a Brittany run knows how fast they can run and how beautiful they are.It is a memorable sight to see a Brittany running, hunting through the fields. They are much more energetic then a Lab or Retriever. Having a fence makes things much easier and safer for the typical Brittany. They can run and play as much as they like in a fenced in area although a fence is not necessarily the total answer. We have had dogs that could dig or climb amazingly quickly. One of ours is an escape expert. He can figure a way out almost faster than we can fix it. It is like a chess match keeping him contained. We finally went with an electronic fence.

We had brittanies for several years with out a fence. We used tie outs and daily runs for an hour. It worked ok for us till we got more dogs, then it was too much. Safety is the most important thing for us as we live in a fairly busy area. We hope potential adopters seriously consider a fence to keep their new dogs safe.
