I've got a female Brittany. She is an outside dog, but would absolutely love to be indoors and laying in your lap. Honestly, quite low shedding given what I've seen other dogs do.

Easy to train (as in smart), but easy to be too hard on and make them shy about things. They also have a bit of a goofy I'll do my own thing streak when out hunting. If you can handle that without getting mad, then a Brittany will be all that your daughter wants.
