English Springer Spaniel DOG PROFILE

Springers are so named because they were used to spring game for the sportsman's net. Largest of the land spaniels, the English Springer is a sturdy, active, balanced sporting breed. Males measure 19 to 21 inches at the shoulder, females 1 inch less. The flat or wavy coat protects against harsh working conditions and may be liver or black and white; tricolor; or roan in blue or liver. Fanciers claim the coat is self-cleaning, but frequent and thorough brushing is needed to keep it lying close and free of dead hair. Some hand trimming is also required on head, throat and around feet to neaten the outline. Like all breeds with long, close-lying ears, the Springer's should be checked regularly. They are susceptible to injury, can pick up foreign bodies easily, and if not kept clean can become the focus of stubborn infections. An able field dog, the Springer enjoys life as a family pet and companion. It has a high activity level and needs a healthy dose of daily exercise. This breed is eager to please, willing to obey and quick to learn.
