What is the difference between the American Brittany and the French Brittany?
The French Brittany is smaller in stature; more heavily bodied and is allowed to have black on its coat and/or nose. The black and white French Brittany is acceptable as is the orange/white with black nose and mouth pigmentation. The French Brittany should have a “square stature” and the French discounts a long nose, as they believe it smacks of setter influence. The French Brittany is seen in Brittany Field Trials occasionally as well as hunt tests; however, it is not recognized by the ABC (American Brittany Club).
