A bird dog with a heart as big as its energy!

​

Originally hailing from Brittany, France, these dogs were bred to be the ultimate hunting companions: agile, clever, full of energy and a high prey drive.

They appear in paintings along side their hunting partners in the 17th Century. The breed was officially recognised in 1907 in France.

​

The Brittany is a utility gundog, in the field they are expected to hunt, point and retrieve. Utility gundogs include the German Shorthaired & Wirehaired Pointers, Hungarian Vizsla, and Weimaraner to name a few. Even though they look similar to the spaniel, Australia changed the breed name from the Brittany Spaniel to just Brittany in 1998 to reflect the utility nature of the breed.

​

Along side the Brittany's hunting abilities, they have also been awarded dual champions more than any other breed in the world. Proving they do just a well in the show ring as they do in the field or performance sport.
