| French Brittany
The French Brittany, or Epagneul Breton as
it is known throughout Europe, is very different from the American
version of the Brittany in several ways. The main differences are in
hunting style, temperament and appearance.
The French Brittany is an upland bird
dog with natural quartering abilities that enjoys hunting at a fast
pace. In training this breed, it is important to start slowly and
keep things very relaxed. A heavy-handed training program will not
be effective with the French Brittany. In addition, the French
Brittany is a very energetic breed that enjoys companionship and
being with its owners at home and out in the field.
Unlike its American counterpart, which
is commonly known as a very tall and lanky breed, the French
Brittany is very compact. They are usually between 18 and 20 inches
tall and usually weigh between 28 and 40 pounds. It's muzzle is
shorter than the American Brittany, and they have dark noses and
amber or brown eyes compared to the light nose and eyes on American
Brittanys. French Brittanys can be black and white, liver and white,
orange and white, tri-color and roan of any of those colors.
