The American Brittany Club (ABC) recently convened its annual meeting, with an agenda topic about potentially formalizing a breed split between the American Brittany and the Epagneul Breton (French Brittany). We're thrilled to announce that the proposal do was rejected, signifying a momentous win for the Epagneul Breton. We extend our gratitude to all EB enthusiasts and supporters of working dogs who advocated for maintaining the status quo.
