Brittany Spaniel
Short History of the Breed
| The Brittany dog history is a wonderful cultivation of the desire and effort to have the perfect bird dog, hunting dog, gun dog and show Brittany. Professional Brittany breeders work very hard to ensure their Brittany dogs and their Brittany puppies for sale conform to AKC and CKC standards for the Purebred Brittany. | |||||||||
Physical Description & Size
A compact, closely knit dog of medium size, a leggy dog having the appearance, as well as the agility, of a great ground coverer. Strong, vigorous, energetic and quick of movement. Ruggedness, without clumsiness, is a characteristic of the breed. He can be tailless or has a tail docked to approximately four inches. Height--17½ to 20½ inches, measured from the ground to the highest point of the shoulders. Any Brittany measuring under 17½ inches or over 20½ inches shall be disqualified from dog show competition.
Weight-- Should weigh between 30 and 40 pounds
Proportion-- So leggy is he that his height at the shoulders is the same as the length of his body.

My pup is a Brittany/Border Collie mix and he's SO beautiful and intelligent. He definitely has the intelligence that comes from the Border Collie part of him. He's so gentle, sensitive & sweet, which I believe comes from the Brittany side.
