The French Spaniel is a calm, stable family dog that is good with children and other household pets. It is happiest when around its people. French Spaniels are also friendly with strangers, so they make poor watch dogs.

The French Spaniel is part of the German Small Munsterlander family and is also related to the Dutch Partridge Dog. Like other spaniels, this dog originated as a pointer.
The Brittany developed in the French province of the same name in the mid-1800s, quite possibly from crosses of a French spaniel with English Setters that arrived on the continent with British gentlemen hunters.

Originating in France, this hunting breed is believed to be a cross between the French spaniel and the English Setter or Orange and White Setter. Primarily used as a hunting, pointer dog.
Description ...
The Brittanys became a recognized breed in 1907, when "Boy," an orange-and-white, was registered as the first Brittany Spaniel in France (they had previously been registered under the heading of miscellaneous French Spaniels).
Although there are no significant records to tell us how the breed was developed, many believe Brittanies are the result of breeding between English Setter breeds and French Spaniels.
