Caring for a Brittany

Health

Brittanys are generally a healthy, long-lived breed (12-14 years), but are prone to hip dysplasia and cataracts. Ear infections are common given their floppy ears, especially in dogs that spend time in water or heavy cover.

Nutrition

A high-protein diet appropriate for an active sporting breed, fed twice daily; this is a genuinely high-energy dog that needs calories to match.

Grooming

The wavy, medium-length coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting, especially around the ears and legs where feathering collects debris.

Training

Brittanys are sensitive and respond poorly to harsh correction — gentle, positive-reinforcement training gets far better results than a firm hand. This is a genuinely high-energy, task-oriented breed that needs real daily exercise, not just a walk around the block.

About the breed

The Brittany originated in France's Brittany province, first documented in 17th-century paintings and tapestries, developed by local poachers who valued a small, quick dog that could work close to the hunter. Unlike true spaniels that flush game, the Brittany points and holds, working more like a setter — which is why the AKC dropped "Spaniel" from the official name in 1982, even though it's still called l'épagneul Breton in France.

Brittanys hold more AKC Dual Champion titles (both a field trial and a show championship) than any other sporting breed, reflecting a breed that was never split into separate show and working lines the way many hunting breeds were.
