DOG BREED
This traditional gundog earns its name because it was initially employed to "spring" game – surprising birds into flight. Spaniels functioning as gundogs were historically categorized by their size: larger dogs (referred to as Springers) were utilized to flush out game, while smaller ones (known as Cockers) were used to flush woodcocks. The English Springer Spaniel gained official breed recognition only in the early 20th century, although it also evolved into a different variety known as the Norfolk Spaniel. The English Springer Spaniel can work alongside hunters in the field all day, unaffected by challenging terrains or harsh weather, even plunging into icy waters when necessary. This breed is favored among game shooters, but its friendly and obedient demeanor also makes it a wonderful family pet. It loves being around people, including children, other dogs, and even the household cat. If left alone for extended periods, it may begin to bark excessively. A non-working dog requires long, vigorous daily walks and enjoys splashing in water, rolling in mud, or playing with toys. This breed is intelligent and eager to learn, responding best to calm guidance. Because it is highly sensitive, using harsh or abrupt commands may be counterproductive. The English Springer Spaniel’s passion for the outdoors necessitates weekly grooming to prevent its thick coat from becoming tangled and matted, as well as regular trims, particularly of the long feathers on its ears and legs. There are two varieties of English Springer Spaniel: working and performance. Dogs specifically bred for farm duties have docked tails and tend to be somewhat smaller and lighter than those bred for performance purposes. Both categories of dogs make equally good companions.
