The Brittany Club of Great Britain was first mooted in 1984
by the late Mr Stanley Smith, who had brought the first four
specimens of the breed into the U.K. two years earlier. Stan
was President of the Club for a number of years until his passing.
The inaugural Meeting, KC Registration, and first Show were
in 1986 and the Club celebrated 20 years of Registration and
10 years of Championship status in 2006, with a Special Anniversary
Weekend.
The four dogs brought in by Stan Smith have since been added
to by a number of additional dogs and bitches, with some of
the bitches being brought into quarantine in whelp to top stud
dogs in France.
The aim of the club is to encourage breeding the true type of
Brittany, ensure adequate classification at shows, and promote
Field Trials. The Officers and Committee are always willing
and available to help and advise members with any aspect of
training or rearing Brittanys, or to discuss the breed in general.
We place particular importance on the Breed's duality. This
is not just a show dog, or a working dog, it is a dual purpose
dog as in France
The Club welcomes all owners and prospective owners of this
most versatile and enjoyable breed of dog - The Brittany. If,
however, after reading the information on the site, there is
a question which remains unanswered, please feel free to contact
any Committee Member of the Brittany Club of Great Britain -
no matter how silly or inconsequential it may seem to you. The
more you ask, the more you learn, and we are all devotees so
will be only too happy to talk to you. A list of all the present
Committee Members is given elsewhere on these pages, along with
their county.
