Brittany spaniels field trials

While still known as the Brittany Spaniel in other parts of the world, it is officially known as the "Brittany" in the United States. Brit earned his field championship then his bench championship at Westminster.

We are currently celebrating 60 plus years as a club. We are also proud to hold the distinction of having the first Brittany Specialty held in the East on August 20, He does need lots of exercise or opportunities to hunt to keep him happy. He has a typical friendly disposition and is very willing to please his master. He may be expected to absorb training more easily than some of the other pointing breeds, needing only a sharp scolding or slight punishment. The natural ability of the Brittany sells him as a breed to many neophytes in the field of hunting as he seems to know better what to do than his master.

He gains his admirers from his excellent working ability. The Brittany, with his shorter range, is becoming more popular as hunting becomes limited to smaller fields with more fences. His exceptional nose, which guarantees that he will pass up few birds, also helps to account for his popularity. The club is composed of many regional or local clubs located from coast to coast. Most hold a licensed AKC trial for championship points in the spring and fall seasons.

Many hold a specialty conformation show also. The regional clubs hold meetings to discuss mutual problems, fun trials, training sessions, hunting tests and other events of interest to their members. The purpose of the American Brittany Club is to promote cooperation and friendship among the breeders and owners of a Brittany and to encourage the highest standards in breeding, training and showing of Brittanys in the field and in the show ring; to discourage the breed from becoming split into groups of "field dogs" and "bench dogs" and to strive to keep it forever a "dual dog".

This proposal was accompanied by an invitation from the Governor of Arkansas and the Board voted for the move. In , the Nationals were held for the first time in Booneville where they continue to this day to run.

In , the ABC Board voted to petition the AKC to bestow the title "Field Champion" to the winner of the National Championship if the winner did not already hold such title or the win did not complete the established point schedule. At the September Delegates meeting, the request was approved and made effective immediately.
