🧰Accessories for a Brittany Spaniel: harness, bowls and essentials

Brittany Spaniel : Plan for a tough size-M harness, a long line, a recall whistle and a collapsible field bowl for long outings. During hunting or hiking season, a hi-vis vest improves its visibility, and a tick remover belongs in the basic kit.

In short: A medium dog of 14 to 18 kg with a fine, flat or slightly wavy coat, very high energy and a strong pointing instinct. A lively pointing dog, gentle with the family and remarkably enduring at work. It is the smallest of the pointing breeds, yet once on a scent it covers long distances: a 10-15 m long line, solidly trained recall and often a GPS collar make up its kit.

Harness and lead sized for the Brittany Spaniel

The right harness for a 14 to 18 kg Brittany Spaniel: Y-cut, size M to L, two adjustment points minimum — too loose it twists, too tight it blocks the shoulder. Add a 10-metre long line for outings: freedom without escape risk — it transforms walks for such an active dog.

Bowls and daily kit

For its 160-270 g daily, stable stainless steel remains the reference; go slow-feed if the Brittany Spaniel bolts its ration in seconds. Complete the set with an always-full water point, a mat under the bowls and an airtight bin for the kibble.
