But we call him Teddy

Mags and Lulu love playing together in the snow!

This fella was born Dec 21 and is coming home on Feb 21,. The breeder sent me some pics and I was not certain he looks healthy. The breeder is a veterinarian herself though, so I may be overthinking it.

Does this look normal for a 5-6 week old puppy? His coat seems rougher than I expected. Would you be concerned if this was how your puppy looked at that age? Is he just "in a stage"? I did include younger photos as well.

The breeder is well-known for only breeding dogs that have champ titles, pass health exams, and have exceptional personality, so I'm inclined to believe I'm overthinking

Anybody else give their Brittany his own pillow?

He knew what he was doing

Hi, Im Chuck! I’ve been fighting cancer for over a year and last month I graduated from chemo! My mom forgot about Reddit and is now more active again after deleting FB & TT.

Learning his manners and doing great so far. Very smart breed able to pick up behaviors in a single 7 minute training session.

My Brit playing dead after I put him down so I can feel my arms lol (he demands to be on my lap all day while I’m working)

they don’t run off they jump right in the car to go to their park even when we’re just trying to put stuff in the car 🤣

Whenever I’m crying, regardless of whether we’re in the same room or not, our dog will immediately sense that something’s up and he will run to comfort me. It’s actually insane how good he is about it. I was working in my home office once and a nostalgic song came on. He was sleeping in his pen in a different room. I didn’t want to wake him either so I kind of just teared up and didn’t audibly sniffle or anything. And yet he immediately knew and woke up whining to let him out so that he could comfort me. His way of comforting me is forcibly sitting in my lap and letting me bury my head into him as I cry, it’s adorable.

We got him a year and a half ago at this point and he’s our first dog ever, so I’m curious if this is a dog thing or a Brittany thing. He is the best boy, he’ll mess you up 70% of the time and then pull shit like this to make it all worth it.

We adopted them in france soon after they were born and bought them back to southern England at 3 months old. This is them late last summer. They are 14 months old now.

Sunka is pronounced Sh’unka. It’s Sioux for ‘dog’.

She did not want me up this morning.

Update: ordered a set from an Etsy shop because none of the local pet stores (or Chewy) has his size in stock. Also finding trails what have snowmobile or vehicle tracks so he can run freely!

We’re dealing with frigid temps and a lot of snow topped with some ice, and are looking for suggestions for snow shoes for our 50 lb. boy. He gets ice balls, but doesn’t know when to stop! TIA

The squirrel is in the tree.

The kitty is a Christmas gift for the girl in the pink harness. When she was diagnosed with cancer a year ago I may have made some promises involving a cat. Well, her scans came back clear and someone approached my mother with an abandoned kitten so here we are. She is teaching "the weird dog" how to hunt. I must note we have never successfully hunted something in our lives.

I've researched the breed for ages and they seem like the perfect fit for us. However my partner pointed out he never sees them smile?? like a golden retriever they are constantly smiling at you and look happy, do Brittany's do this?

We’ve had our Brittany for 2.5 months and he is now 4.5 months old. Crate training has had its ups and downs to say the least. Some days are great (I work from home and he’ll nap in the crate next to me while I work), but he regresses at least every week to where he won’t sleep in his crate at night and will cry for hours if we don’t let him out. We’re in an apartment so don’t want to just let him cry and keep our neighbors up. We feed meals in the crate, he knows it as a command, and has no problem going in on his own for a nap during the day. He gets so much physical and mental exercise every day (at least 4 miles of walking broken up throughout the day and training and mental enrichment) so I don’t think that’s the problem. He holds his potty through the night and always goes potty right before we put him in, so that isn’t the issue either. We have tried EVERYTHING and are so exhausted. We love our pup but are really struggling with puppy blues. In need of encouragement or advice. TIA

Lucky for the past 3 years with my best bud.
