The Brittany is a compact, closely knit dog of medium size, between 30 to 40 pounds, and from
17-1/2 to 20-1/2 inches at the shoulder. He is a leggy dog that can cover ground with agility. He
is strong, vigorous, energetic and quick of movement.
His small size makes him easy to carry in a car. His short tail, which can be either natural or
docked, is an asset. He has enough coat to protect him from the briars but not enough to
catch burrs to any great extent. He can be either orange and white, or liver and white, with
either clear or roan patterns. He is not a heavily coated dog, but is lightly fringed.
He works in the same manner as a pointer, but without the great range. He points and holds
his game. He retrieves both on land and in water. He is used primarily on upland game in the
United States, but is used on both fur and feather in France.
He is noted for an exceptionally keen nose and a very biddable disposition. Many of the
country’s top dogs have been house pets as well as field winners and fine hunting dogs. The
Brittany is a high energy dog who is bred to hunt. He does need lots of exercise or
opportunities to hunt to keep him happy.
He has a typical friendly disposition and is very willing to please his master. He may be
expected to absorb training more easily than some of the other pointing breeds, needing only a
sharp scolding or slight punishment. The natural ability of the Brittany sells him as a breed to
many neophytes in the field of hunting as he seems to know better what to do than his master.
He gains his admirers from his excellent working ability. The Brittany, with his shorter range, is
becoming more popular as hunting becomes limited to smaller fields with more fences. His
exceptional nose, which guarantees that he will pass up few birds, also helps to account for his
popularity.
