The Brittany Spaniel, also known as the Épagneul Breton, is a French breed of gun dog primarily bred for bird hunting. It developed between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries in Brittany, France. Here are some key characteristics of this delightful breed:
  • Appearance: The Brittany is a small dog with a spaniel-type head, a bob-tail, and a cobby appearance. Most Brittanys are born with long tails, but they are often docked to a length of 3–10 centimeters (1.2–3.9 inches). The breed’s coat color varies, with orange and white or liver and white being most common in the American Brittany. Other acceptable colors include orange roanliver roan, and black roan. French Brittanys also come in white and black.
  • Size: Brittanys are medium-sized dogs, with American lines tending to be larger (17.5–20.5 inches at the withers) than French lines (17–20.5 inches). Females are generally smaller.
  • Temperament: These dogs are attentivehappyquickintelligentagile, and adaptable. They make excellent working dogs and family pets.
  • History: The name “Brittany” comes from the region in northwestern France where the breed originated. Images of orange and white Brittany-like dogs hunting and retrieving game were seen in tapestries and paintings from the seventeenth century. The first written record of Brittanys dates back to a hunting description in 1850. Reverend Davies described hunting with small “bobtailed” dogs that pointed and were excellent retrievers. The modern Brittany is rumored to have been bred by mating with English Setters. The breed was officially recognized in France in 1907 and in the United States in 1931. The “Spaniel” was officially dropped from the name in 1982.
Whether you’re a hunter or simply looking for an affectionate companion, the Brittany Spaniel is sure to capture your heart! 🐾
