Why a French Brittany

  "Breeding the finest gun dogs in the world"
AKC/UKC champion hunting lineage from France and Ireland

Why Choose an Epagneul Breton? Bringing  
 Every breed has its good points, but the Epagneul Breton (French Brittany) is rapidly becoming the gun dog of choice:
  • exceptional natural hunting ability
  • Highly versatile gun dog:  points, flushes and retrieves on upland, wet or woody country (NAVHDA)quarters the ground, continually checks back with the hunter
  • trains easily on both voice and hand signals
  • hunts in close, without alerting all the birds in the next county
  • don't be fooled by their smaller size! These dogs are sturdy, rough-and-ready in the field, capable to go for 8 hours or more

Hunting

Excellent family pet

  • Sweet-tempered, loving companion
  • never aggressive--great with kids and other pets
  • easily trained
  • smallest body size of all bird dogs--18 inches high, 27 lb;
  • Compare size to a Lab Retriever, English Setter or German Shorthair Pointer:

We know a Lab retriever that weighs 88 lbs--that's a lot of dog to fit in your house! Gone are the days when folks had big yards and slow lifestyles to give big dogs all the space they need. The French Brittany fits more easily into most homes

  • Stylish and elegant-there are few dogs with the beauty of the Epagneul Breton
  • In

 Excellent indoor manners; unlike some hunting breeds which bring all their energy indoors

"French Brittanies are born to be laid-back in the yard and in the home but can quickly switch over to dynamos when hunting gamebirds. . .'angels in the house, demons in the field' is a common phrase applied to French Brittanies." Bruce Mooney, quoted in Gun Dog magazine
