Why Choose an
Epagneul Breton?
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

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
-

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
