Epagneul Breton - 100% French Brittany's
Epagneul Breton or French Brittany is the forefather of what many call the 'American Brittany' or 'Brittany'. Legend tells that lower class Frenchman desired to have a dog to sneak onto French aristocracy estates to hunt and quickly get off the land. Thus, they needed a close working dog with a deep desire to find birds! That's exactly what they came up with - the Epagneul Breton. The French have preserved this breed of dog for over 100 years. French Brittany's, though smaller in size, have a keen hunting ablitly, and a desire that drives them to hunt all day ~ Don't let their size fool you!
They also make wonderful family companions! They are lovable, easy to train, calm, intelligent and just beautiful to look at. They bond with each member of the family, desiring to please. Their size and temperment allows them to be house dogs. You just can't ask for a more versatile dog!
United Kennel Club is the only registry that recognizes these little wonders as a seperate breed. Don't be fooled - if you're looking for a French Brittany make sure they are UKC registered!

"Just A Dog"
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distace traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a dog." Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog", and not once have I felt slighted...
If you too think it's "Just a dog", you will probably understand phrases like "Just a friend," "Just a sunrise," or "Just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person...
For me and folks like me, it's not "Just a dog". It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and pur joy of the moment...
I hope that someday people can understand it's not "Just a dog." It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "Just a man or woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "Just a dog," smile, because they just don't understand.
