Was wondering if anyone had any experience with having a Brittany in an
apartment. I know they require a lot of exercise, about an hour a day, but
other than that do they do okay?

Some high energy dogs have a relatively low activity level indoors.
Unfortunately the Brittany isn't one of them. That makes them a challenge
in an apartment. The risks can be improved if the apartement is well
insulated from noise outside and adjoining units, and if windows tend to
look on non-stimulating views (i.e. one in which there are few
people/dogs/cats to bark at). Some things that might help is to keep all
play things picked up *except* when you leave, then put down domething the
dog finds interestting. Rotating toys and chew items helps stave of
boredom related destructive behavior. A fair amount of obedience training
helps build confidence and thus reduces anxeity related destructive
behavior. A mature dog will do better than a puppy. An hour is pretty
minimal exercise for a Brittany, although that depends upon what the
exercise is. A three mile jog alongside a bicycle (wehn the dog is a
mature adult) together with some fetch games for one exercise session and
about mile plus some fetch plus some training for another session is about
right.

I'm glad I asked. I enjoy walking so I could probably walk the dog for an
hour a day, plus spend time training her. In addition she would have a cat
for company. But it still sounds as if the dog will still need much more
than I can give.
