Brittany
Next Breed: Broholmer
Previous Breed: Briquet Griffon Vendeen
The Brittany is a breed of gun dog primarily bred for bird hunting. Although the Brittany is often referred to as a spaniel, the breed's working characteristics are more akin to a Pointer or setter. Brittanies were developed in the Brittany province of France in the 1800s.
History
In 1894, three Germans by the name of Roberth, Konig, and Hopner decided to stabilize the breed and put it on exhibition at a dog show. This was done in Munich in 1895, and the next year they founded the first Boxer Club, the Deutscher Boxer Club. The Club went on to publish the first Boxer breed standard in 1902, a detailed document that has not been changed much to this day.
Appearance and Size
A Brittany is typically quite athletic,compact, and solidly built without being heavy. Other characteristics include long legs, and their expressions are usually of intelligence, vigour, and alertness. Their gait is elastic, long, and free. Some Brittanies are born with naturally short tails and others with long tails. If born with a long tail it is normally docked to a length of 3 to 10 centimetres (1 to 4 inches). Brittanies come in a variety of colours, where an orange and white coat is most common in the American Brittany. Other colours include liver and white, orange roan and liver roan, all of which are acceptable in the show ring. There is also tri-colour, which is acceptable in most countries except America, since black is a disqualification in their conformation events, this color combination is much less common there but extremely common in the UK, and in France, the home country. The adult Brittany stands 17 to 21 inches from the shoulder and weighs 30 to 40 pounds.
Personality
The breed was originally bred as a hunting dog and noted for being easy to train, sensitive, and sweet-natured. Brittanies are all around sound dogs, as they are excellent family pets as well as working dogs in the field. The dogs are active and require frequent exercise and room to run, and a fenced yard is essential. The breed sometimes gets a reputation for being crazy or uncontrollable, but these problems are almost invariably due to lack of exercise and training, and are not commonly seen in well cared-for dogs. If not given sufficient exercise, love, and socialization, Brittanies can become destructive or develop compulsive or neurotic behaviors. The Brittany makes a good house pet as long as it receives daily mental and physical exercise, as well as superb socialization on a regular basis.
