English Springer Spaniels - The Most Loving Breed!

  • 15/11/2010

I have yet to find a more loyal and loving companion than an English Springer Spaniel, (other than my husband of course).

The most rewarding of dogs to own, they will continue to give you as much joy and pleasure for the entire time you own them.

This hyperactive, yet exceptionally loyal and loving, breed is one of the oldest working origins that was first bred in the 1800s. The Spaniel is the all rounder of Gun Dogs, as it can hunt, point, spring and retrieve game, which is one of the reasons that the English Springer Spaniel is the preferred working companion of game keepers.

Its strength and agility means that it can navigate through thick brambles with relative ease and its love of water means that no terrain is off limits to it. The English Springer Spaniel's build is athletic, to suit a dog that is designed to work all day. The eyes should be bright, alert and engaging, displaying signs
of affection and trust. The English Springer's ears are larger than those of the Welsh Springer, and have a more rounded base.

The English Springer Spaniel comes in three colors; firstly liver and white, which is the most common image of English Springers. Secondly they also come in black and white; finally Spaniels can be black, white and tan (otherwise known as the Tri-Colored Spaniel). The Tri-Colored Spaniel is quite rare and thus highly sought after.

The English Springer Spaniel can be split into two separate breeding lines. The show line, whose features tend to be that of a slightly larger and heavier-boned dog; and the working line, which are smaller and more agile than the show dog. As their temperament is pretty much the same, they both make excellent family pets.

If you want a dog that will go everywhere with you, and want to be involved in everything you do, then the English Springer may be the right choice for you. This breed love people, in fact I am convinced they think they are human. They will spend most of their day trying to get a close as possible to you, and will be completely content just sitting by your feet.
