Brittany Spaniels

The Brittany Spaniel is also known simply as a Brittany and as their name suggests they originate from France where they were bred as working dogs. They thrive on being kept busy and do not do well if left to their own devices for long periods of time. For decades the breed has been a popular working dog in their native France but are now becoming popular here in the UK thanks to their tremendous ability to Hunt Point and Retrieve.
