Brittany spaniel

Leggy hunting dog

A Brittany spaniel is a medium-sized sporting dog bred for bird hunting, known for its energetic temperament and distinctive orange-and-white or liver-and-white coat.

Originally from the Brittany region of France, the breed is prized by hunters for its keen nose and natural pointing instinct.

Often called simply a Brittany: Our Brittany flushed three pheasants before noon.
