Brittany Hound

The skull is well-defined, and is rounded in profile. A purebred Brittany will never have an apple-shaped skull, and the stop is not concave. The neck is set between the sloping shoulders, without a depression or ewe's neck. The topline slopes slightly from the highest point of the shoulders along the midline to the base of the tail. The Brittany's back is short and straight, without a depression, not saddle-shaped, and not swinging like a fishtail. The distance between the shoulder blades is about two thumbs wide, and the shoulder blades are well sloping and muscular, forming an angle of almost 90 degrees with the upper end of the forelegs. For Brittany Spaniels, the shoulders are slightly higher than the hips. The hindquarters are broad and strong, muscular, full of power, and have a suitable bend to form a powerful running angle.
The coat is dense, flat or wavy, but never curly. The texture is neither hard like wire nor soft and smooth like silk. It is generally yellow-

Origin France

The Brittany Spaniel is a compact, well-coupled medium-sized dog, long-legged in appearance, agile, with a very long stride, strong, vigorous, active, quick in action, solid but not clumsy. It may be without a tail or docked, leaving it 4 inches long.

The Brittany Spaniel was originally named after its birthplace, a province in France. From 1934 to 1982, the American Kennel Club (AKC) registered this droopy-eared, long-haired dog and named it the Brittany Spaniel. As a long-haired, lop-eared dog, the Brittany behaves much like a setter, but is smaller than a setter and larger than a long-haired lop-eared dog. It has a short tail and a pair of characteristic long ears. The first accurate description of the Brittany breed was in paintings and tapestries from the 17th century. The frequent occurrence of this type of description of the Brittany breed shows that this dog was quite common at the time.

The Brittany and Welsh breeds probably had a common ancestor and developed along similar paths. They were more likely to interbreed. Because the two regions were geographically close and had many commercial exchanges. You only need to look at the Welsh Springer Spaniel and the Brittany Spaniel today to see that they have similar physical characteristics.

The Brittany Spaniel is widely loved in the United States for its commendable qualities as a hunting dog. Its small size and natural hunting qualities meet the needs of modern American female hunters. Its first-class sense of smell and strong hunting desire are the two most important characteristics of this breed. Its small size makes it more suitable for living in the city than some larger hounds. Its vision and hearing, as well as the range it can reach with its small size, make it more suitable for hunting places with dense cross-road networks and fences near today.

Many Brittany Spaniel breeders have this idea: they want it to have a beautiful appearance and want it to be a good hunting dog. For this purpose, the competition for showing Brittany Spaniels has been held in the United States for nearly 30 years. In the past 30 years, more than 150 dogs of this breed have won the dual championship titles of both beautiful appearance and hunting experts.

The Brittany Spaniel is an excited, alert dog that is gentle and not easily startled. It can be used to track waterfowl in the hunting field. It also likes to swim and indulges in various water activities and dog sports.
