Description: The Brittany (or Brittany Spaniel) is a compact, closely knit dog of medium size, leggy in appearance. He is strong, vigorous, energetic and has quick movement. He can be tail-less or have his tail docked to approximately four inches. The Brittany's first love is birds then people. He makes an excellent pointing bird dog because of his keen sense of smell. He is the only spaniel that points to game. Agreeable with children and other pets. Should not be rough-housed with.
