Summary
About Brittany (Breton)
The Brittany (Épagneul Breton) is a compact, athletic French gundog with a short or bobbed tail and easy‑care coat. Affectionate, sensitive, and highly energetic, it needs substantial daily exercise and gentle, positive training, thriving as both an active family companion and versatile hunting dog.
About Miniature Schnauzer
