The English Springer Spaniel is one of the oldest of the spaniels who take their name from Spain where they originated. Spaniels are divided into two groups, land spaniels and water spaniels.

English Springer Spaniels are land spaniels and are named for their expertise at flushing out or springing at game to make it run or fly away. Developed in England, they were once called Norfolk Spaniels.

The English Springer stands 20 inches at the shoulder and has a fairly long, flat or wavy, weather-resistant coat. His shiny coat may be liver or black and white, tri-colour or blue or liver roan. There is feathering on the legs, ears, chest, and underbody. Shedding is a definite factor to consider with this dog.

Like most sporting dogs, the English Springer Spaniel is best suited to an active home where he will be a cherished member of the family. Friendly, loyal, energetic, and devoted to his people, the English Springer is a super companion and tolerates other pets well. He is not a dog who should be left alone for long periods. He is much too fond of people to make an effective guard dog.
An intelligent, willing and fast learner, the English Springer Spaniel can nevertheless be a little headstrong. Obedience training and socialization should begin early.

The English Springer has a high energy level and requires lots of exercise, and room to run off-leash. He should live in a home with a fenced backyard with an active owner who can keep up with him!
