With a solid energy level, Brittanys require regular exercise to maintain their happy disposition. Daily walks, playful fetch sessions, or even a romp in a safe, open area will help keep their spirits high and their minds engaged.

While they do shed moderately, monthly grooming sessions will keep their coats healthy and looking sharp, making the care manageable for busy families.
