Springer Spaniel (English)
|

|
Character, special skills and training
This hardy, tough, vigorous, energetic, swift dog with a keen nose fears neither thickets not wet ground. He is stronger and more driven that the English Cocker Spaniel. He tracks actively and persistently, snapping vigorously at game. He lunges into thickets, causing game to spring out in a panic (as the name suggests, s "springer" is a dog who lunges and flushes game). The English Springer Spaniel excels on rabbit, pheasant, woodstock, and waterfowl. He is also a remarkable retriever, especially in the water. A bitrumbustious and strong-tempered, he needs firm training. He can be a good pet, but he is no lap dog!
Care and function
He is not at all suited to apartment life. He needs space and lots of exercise, as well as brushing twice a week and regular checking of ears.
