The Club
The St. Croix Valley Brittany club was started in 1979 by a group of hunting dog enthusiasts who were looking to make the Brittany a more versatile gun dog. Although primarily a Brittany Club, other breeds are represented. Our club's main objective is to improve the breed, as well as providing club members with training opportunities and advice for the average Brittany owner. The St. Croix Valley Brittany Club is a member of the American Brittany Club, the American Kennel Club and is a recognized breed sponsor by the American Field.

Breed Standard
The Brittany is a small dog, weighing about 30 to 40 pounds, and from 17-1/2 to 20-1/2 inches at the shoulder. The Brittany can be Orange & white or liver & white in either clear or roan patterns, or tri-colored. The Brittany is considered one of America's most popular gun dogs. The Brittany points game and retrieves. Is energetic and quick of movement with an exceptionally keen nose and a very biddable disposition. They can be tailess or have a docked tail of approximately 4 inches. The first Brittany was registered with the AKC in 1934, named for the French province.
