The Epagneul Breton, often called the French Brittany, is the smallest of the pointing breeds — but don’t let their size fool you. As the official bird dog of France with over a century of hunting tradition, their compact, cobby build is purposefully designed to be a bird dog, giving them the stamina and agility to hunt tirelessly day after day. Agile and athletic, these versatile and intelligent hunters excel in the field while carrying a warm, affectionate demeanor that makes them just as much a beloved companion at home as they are a partner in the field.
