Little babushka is on the mend from his surgery and back to causing trouble!

Ollie is doing better after a lump removal surgery! A pea-sized lump took five or six stitches and quite the incision. The entire back of his neck was shaved too so he looks a bit silly. Thankfully no cone has been needed, just his little babushka bonnet and a turtleneck that goes up to behind his ears.

Old memory of our first Brittany

This was our first dog ever. He was the runt of the litter failed bird dog. He was a fantastic dog and I still get excited anytime I see a Brittany and think about him. But this is also hope we used to find him sleeping when we came home. Can’t wait to have another some day

Dropped a little weirdo off at the vet and picked up a babushka!

Ollie's surgery went well! He's so out of it now, poor guy. But he's cuddled up in my bed sleeping off the anesthesia with the ac blasting on this 104° day. ❤️

cats and brittany living together

hey guys! I am here to ask if any of you brittany owners also have cats that live in the home. If so, how were they introduced, how do they get along? My boyfriend has a five year old brittany, who seems cat curious but really hasn't spent much time around them. I was born a cat lady - and my last senior passed right before he and I got together. I am past ready to adopt a new one, but am very nervous about bringing one in. I prefer to adopt adult to senior cats and worried it may be a lot for them, but also worried how our brittany will react.

would love to hear about your experience with brittany / cat cohabitation .

Night anxiety?

I have a 5yo male brit. Over the last month he has really struggled with going to bed and settling at night. He is waking me up around 1am every morning with a wierd panting/clicking of his jaw, constant up down and rearrange, needing to touch me, pacing. This lasts for hours.

I took him to the er and they gave him gabapentin and trazadone. I do have a follow up vet appt next week.

There has been no change to anything that i am aware. His routine is the same. My partner and i routine is the same.

Anyone ever experience anything similar?

Brittany Activities

23 Miles, 9.5 hours, (8.5 hours moving, 1 hr worth of breaks) (took an 'adventure' detour from the posted routed, so clocked 3-4 extra miles from the advertised 19-20).

Glad to be done with 4.5 hour "training" hikes every other weekend, very time consuming. The training was for me, she was fine, and PULLED me the entire 23 miles.

We're ready now to make our attempt at the 4mile Obstacle course in Alabama this October (but who knows, i don't really know what I am getting myself into)

whether you complete in 1 hour (top times) or over 2 hours (based on 2025 results nearly 50% of particpants are 2 hours or more), come and join the Brittany team; 'Its Brittany Bitch'. I don't get to see other Brittanys very often, I'd love to see a handful of Brittanys together at the start line. Let me know and I can DM you the team password for when you register. (registering on a team does not exclude competing in all the normal individual categories).

My Britt turned 14 today. Any advice for caring for older Britts?

Her health is holding up but she feels unconfident with stairs in our house like she’ll bark at the bottom of the stairs until one of us walks behind her as she goes up them.

Britt in a smaller package?

Love love love my Zeke. He's my first brittany and the best dog I've ever had. He's an old man now(11 yr old, 50lbs) and I've been thinking a lot about my next best friend. When zeke was young and full of energy, he loved to run the trails with me on my fourwheeler and that helped immensely with getting him the exercise he needed to be a good pup. My living situation has changed and I no longer have the quad or the acreage.

Is there a breed that is close to a brittany but in a smaller package that might be a little easier to tire out? Love the close bond and gentle nature of bird dogs but open to any suggestions.

Why does my Brittany look like a small munsterlander

hello everyone! genuine question out of interest and curiousity: why does my brittany lumi look like a small munsterlander? are there many Brittanies that are brown?

Everyone has been asking me wether she is the latter and I always say no, because the animal rescue organization told me she is a brittany from Spain. But when I look up pictures online to both breeds, she does look like a munsterlander.

At the end, I don't care what breed she really is, she is cute and the bestest girl.

Doubly Lovely

I adopted my little cutie from Italy 6 months ago and had her DNA done. She’s 50/50 American/European (Epagnuel) Brittany. I’m just curious what the difference is between the two, if any?
