English Springer

 


The English springer spaniel is the taproot from which all our sporting spaniels, with the exception of the Clumber spaniel, have evolved.  From about the start of the 16th century the springer spaniel was used for “springing” game that was trapped in nets or flushed for the greyhound or hawk.  Used today as a utility gundog, we expect our springer spaniels to hunt up, find and flush game and make the retrieve.  Springers in the British Isles are bred from pure and ancient bloodlines. 

 Liver and white are the predominant colours of the English springer spaniel but the black and white variety is popular in some parts of the country. 

 Reliable, hard working, obedient and faithful dogs, the English springer spaniel is arguably, the best all round gundog in the British Isles
