Foundation Focus on Education

A principal mission and purpose of the Epagneul Breton Foundation is to promote general breed education to the breed constituency and general public about the Epagneul Breton. In this regard, the Foundation has developed, administers and maintains this Foundation web site at www.epagneulbretonfoundation.org, which contains a repository of much of the vital information which has been written and is collected about the Epagneul Breton breed.  For those interested in research or more in-depth study, see the bibliography by accessing Bibliography under the Education tab on the website directory. This bibliography lists a majority of authoritative sources and references about the Epagneul Breton.

See the most recent article, an excerpt about the early history of the Brittany Spaniel in France.
