Hi Jessica. That looks like a liver and white ESS. She looks young, is she? A Brittany has more bone on the head, has a wider face. Your girl doesn't yet have ESS ears (longs and floppy) but young pups often don't grow into their ears until around their second birthday. She's a sweetie, I'd say she was what they call "field bred" meaning bred for hunting. Those pups that don't show signs of loving to hunt are often abandoned fairly quickly. Anyway, my vote is ESS! Have a wonderful holiday with your new girl. Jennifer

My vote is for ESS too. She has the more delicate face and longer ears of an ESS.
