    English Springer Spaniel

    The larger brother of the English Cocker Spaniel the English Springer Spaniel is a lively active and affectionate pedigree gundog. They derived their name from the role they played in the field where dogs would flush game off the ground so it would "spring" into the air. Renowned for their stamina the Springer Spaniel will work tirelessly all day long in challenging conditions before settling down at home with the family after a busy day in the great outdoors working alongside their owners or handlers.
