hallo everyone, Im looking at geting a Brittany but im a little worried about the whole hunting thing. I have been told that they are natural Hunters. We don't hunt and we have cats and rabbits so would getting one be a bad move?

I personally have never owned a Brittany, but I have experience in dog training. Really, it all depends on the individual dog. Some dogs are meer likely to chase after cats, rabbits, etc than others. Temperament testing the puppy before deciding to buy it may be a good idea so u can have an idea about it's personality. If u bring up the puppy around those animals, it would be very likely that u could train your dog not to chase the animals. Almost all behavior problems are through improper training, not enough exercise, etc. These "behavior problems" are only problems in our eyes and are completely natural to the dog. Through training, u can let your puppy know what behavior is accepted and what isn't. It is completely possible to own a Brittany that would not chase after the cats and rabbits, but it may take training and patience. Starting with a puppy is the best idea. Brittany's are a very active breed, so I would make sure it has plenty of exercise!!!

A lot of it has to do with how u train the dog and the over all personnality of that dog. I had a Brittany and it never went after our cat of other cats. u do have to remember that they are hunting dogs door nature and will still most likely go after rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, ect.
As far as bringing it around other small animals as a puppy. I would probably help a little, but like I said, it will probably still go after animals such as squirrels and rabbits and blah blah blah.
