There is one type of recognized Brittany dog breed. However, there are two different standards for the breed: one for the American Brittany and one for the French Brittany.
The French Brittany, also known as the Brittany Spaniel, originated in France and is recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). The American Brittany, recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), was developed in the United States.
Both breeds are medium-sized with a compact, muscular build, but there are slight differences in appearance. American Brittanys tend to have a slightly larger frame and a fuller coat than French Brittanys. French Brittanys come in more colors than American Brittanys.
