The English Springer Spaniel is the largest of the land spaniels and a strong sturdy sporting dog whose popularity continues to rise. Used as a hunting dog, the English Springer Spaniel thrives on activity and the pursuit of game.
History
In the 19th century, the original Norfolk spaniel was used as the primary hunting dog in England. As the turn of the century approached, this spaniel became more refined and slowly developed and split into the Welsh Springer Spaniel and the English Springer Spaniel. The English Springer Spaniel was officially recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1902, and by 1927, the breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club. Currently, there is a debate raging over the spaniel breed. The American English Springer Spaniel clubs and breeders feel that the American version is so different that it should be considered a separate breed from the English version. So far, no decision has been made so all English Springer Spaniels are grouped together. As an avid gun dog, the primary purpose of the springer spaniels was to "spring" the quarry from their hiding places. By springing the game, it made hunting easier and more productive for the hunter. To this day, English Springer Spaniels are considered by many to be one of the best hunting dogs that retrieve well in undergrowth and marshland. They work well on land as well as water.
Appearance and Size
The English Springer Spaniel is a medium sized dog with long pendulous ears. The hair coat is long, smooth, thick and waterproof. The breed standard calls for a docked tail. Though the hair coat can be a mix of brown, black or white, the liver and white combination tends to be the most popular. The adult English Springer Spaniel is approximately 20 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between 45 to 55 pounds.
Personality
The English Springer Spaniel is intelligent, active and energetic. A faithful and loyal companion, they do not do well as a guard dog but will alert the family when strangers approach. Due to their need for activity, English Springer Spaniels make excellent companions for active children.
