Brittany (dog), sporting dog, developed from a variety bred in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It is also known as the Brittany spaniel. The Brittany has a rounded skull; tapered muzzle; short ears; brown eyes; a flat or wavy coat, either dark orange and white or liver and white in color; a tail only about 10 cm (about 4 in) long or, frequently, no tail at all; and straight front legs. The dog weighs from 14 to 18 kg (30 to 40 lb), is from 44 to 52 cm (17.5 to 20.5 in) high, and has a body about the same length as its height. First brought to the United States in 1931, the breed is used as a sporting dog, especially in pointing and retrieving small game and birds.
