French Spaniel
Placed on this panel from 6 sequenced dogs, among 258 breeds.
Measured nearest to English Setter — but drop any one of the sequenced dogs behind this breed and a different one comes first, so naming a single closest breed would be a lie of precision. The top of this list is a tie.
The 12 breeds nearest to French Spaniel.
The line starts at the tightest pairing this panel holds and ends at the widest separation measured on it, so how far along these marks sit is the answer to how close French Spaniel really is to anything.

It has no units and no dates. Two breeds sitting close together means their lines separate late in this data. It does not mean either one came from the other.
