Tips About this breed

The English Springer Spaniel is a wonderful hunting dog, one of the oldest in Great Britain.

Robust and very rustic, he is excellent for retrieving game. Hunters greatly appreciate his talent.

He's in great need of exercise, and the city isn't quite right for him.

The large spaces suit him perfectly. He loves the countryside, where he can run as he pleases, and enjoy the fields to spend all his energy.

Wonderful hunter, he is also an excellent family dog. He is very easy to train, but his education will have to be firm, because he is a little bit resistant to orders.

A firm but gentle hand will be perfect for this dog who loves the outdoors, exercise and his owners above all.

He can live outside, but contact with his family must be constant. He must be able to go inside very often because human company is essential to him.

Health of the English Springer Spaniel

This robust dog is rarely sick. No particular pathology affects the breed.

This very hardy specimen generally enjoys excellent health and a long lifespan.

GROOMING

His dress needs to be brushed at least twice a week. His large, drooping ears require regular checking.

No other special care is required unless he is a show dog. Grooming will then be more specific, otherwise brushing and checking the ears will suffice.

History of this breed

Considered to be the ancestor of the Spaniels, except for the Clumber Spaniel, the English Springer Spaniel was used at the time to retrieve game for netting, greyhound and falcon.

His former name was "Norfolk Spaniel", but it was in 1990 that he received his current name of English Springer Spaniel.

Previously, Springers and Cockers were part of the same breed. They were differentiated only by size.

In 1902, the English Springer Spaniel was recognized as a breed in his own right. He was recognized by the Spaniel Club of England, and later by the English Kennel Club.

In 1910, the American Kennel Club received him in turn. His country of origin would be Great Britain.
