Oor die ras
The Brittany, or Épagneul Breton, comes from the Brittany region of western France, where small spaniel-type bird dogs were crossed with English setters and pointers in the 19th century. The result was a compact dog that points and retrieves, handy for hunters on foot.
It is one of the most popular gundogs in France and does well as a family dog in active homes. It is affectionate, sensitive and quick to learn, but it has a lot of energy and needs daily running and mental work. Bored Brittanys tend to invent their own jobs.

Some Brittanys are born with a naturally short tail or no tail at all.
