Breed of the Month: Brittany Spaniel

Another month? Really? It seems like it passed so fast! What about you?

Brittany Spaniels ( my absolute FAVOURITE breed )!!!



Brittany spaniels were bred for hunting dogs, mostly bird. For those who are allergic, this might not be the right breed for you. They are not hypoallergenic. Brittanies are light shedders These hunters usually live up to 14 to 15 years.

Exercise and Training:

Brittanies are very easy to train! They are always eager to please and are very obedient. They need owners who are strict, yet calm. These spaniels need lots of exercise. Daily walks or jogs around the local park is crucial because they're very active.

Living Conditions:

As I said above, these dogs will need to be very active and are not suited for apartments. They will not like cold and damp conditions but will survive.

History:

Brittanies were named by a province in France and they were first recognised in 1934. They were crossed by a Welsh Springer Spaniel and an unknown French breed. Brittanies are one of the most popular bird hunting breeds.
