Haircuts: Dogs of this breed don't need haircuts--but some owners, particularly those who show their dogs, have the coats trimmed to clean them up. In any case, owners are advised to take their dogs to a professional groomer at least once, as the groomer can offer tips on how to groom a Brittany Spaniel in general. Brittany brushing is only necessary twice per week or so--but these dogs may shed more heavily during the spring and fall shedding seasons, so daily brushing is best during these periods.
Some people also like to use de-shedding tools once or twice during shedding season and intermittently throughout the year to help with dead hair collection.
The best brush for a Brittany Spaniel, like other short-haired breeds, is a bristle brush. A grooming glove works well too. To brush a Brittany: first wet the coat with water mist from a spray bottle. Then starting at the shoulders, go through the coat section by section with the brush or glove, moving in the direction of hair growth. In reality, the phrase "Brittany Spaniel haircut" is a relative one. A completely shaved Brittany Spaniel is by no means a good thing, as the coat simply won't grow back correctly if most of it is cut off!

Fig 9 This breed should have a tight cat—like foot so use a slicker brush and brush up the hair on the foot before trimming it in a rounded fashion.
Fig 10 Using your slicker again, go back over the foot once more and finish with a thinning shear to create a natural look. Fig 11 Discuss with the client to determine how much hair they would like to have left to maintain. Brush back the leg furnishings and remove the excess hair. You can use a straight shear on a pet, but if you would like this to look natural, a thinner or a chunker is recommended.
