History: The Brittnepoo is a popular designer breed that's a hybrid between the Brittany Spaniel and the Poodle. Like with most designer dogs and hybrids, little is known about the Brittnepoo's history and origins. While both the Brittany and the Poodle originated in Europe, the Brittnepoo likely developed in North America. People began intentionally breeding designer dogs in the late 1990s, so it's possible that the Brittenpoo was developed around this time. While the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not register hybrid dogs, the Brittnepoo has been recognized by the Designer Breed Registry (DBR), the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), and other small clubs for hybrid and designer dogs.

Temperament: The temperament of a Brittnepoo is difficult to predict. Some may have a more Poodle-like personality, while others could favor the Brittany's temperament. Most of the time, though, it's a pleasant mix of both. In general, the Brittnepoo is a friendly, upbeat dog that's full of spunk. The product of two intelligent breeds, the Brittnepoo is a smart dog that learns quickly. Training a Brittnepoo usually isn't difficult, as they are very obedient and love to please. Brittnepoos are energetic dogs, so it's important that they receive plenty of exercise daily, both physical and mental. A Bernedoodle who doesn't get enough activity can become hyperactive and destructive, so it's important that these dogs get the exercise that they need. All in all, the Brittnepoo is a well-mannered, affectionate dog that makes a wonderful family companion.
