This breed carries some of the most restrictive breed-specific legislation of any dog worldwide — outright bans or ownership conditions exist in multiple countries and in various US cities and counties — and many landlords and home-insurance policies exclude the breed by name regardless of an individual dog's temperament or training.
Brittanys are working bird dogs before they are family pets, and a Brittany that does not get to run or hunt daily becomes a genuinely difficult, anxious, high-strung dog to live with, which the sweet face in photos does not show.
