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 Whippet
Medium sighthound combining racing speed with calm companionship. Sleek, lean and Greyhound‑like, with a short, easy‑care coat but little weather protection. Sensitive, gentle and people‑oriented, it needs kind training, safe chances to sprint, soft warm bedding and a stable, quiet home.
