Welcome to the home of Spered Breizh Ouessants. The name is in Breton and translates to "Spirit of Brittany". The breed of sheep 'Mouton d'Ouessant' originate from (funnily enough) the île d'Ouessant, part of a tiny island archipelago just off the north coast of Finistere, Brittany. These rufty tufty sheep survived on poor grazing from salty clifftop meadows and through a process of natural selection adapted perfectly to the rigours of the atlantic coast. It is also claimed that it was the women of the island who cared for the sheep whilst the men were away at sea for long periods of time. The women found their diminuative size easier to handle and so the breed was born...............
