INTRODUCTION
The English Springer Spaniel breed of dog is a gun dog breed which is generally used for flushing out and retrieving game.

APPEARANCE
The working lines, often refered to as "field-bred", tend to have shorter, coarser coats than the show-bred dogs. Their ears are less pendulous. Show-bred dogs tend to have a longer, more silky coat and are often predominatly dark colored.
The coat comes in three different color combinations. Black-and-white, liver-and-white, and either of these combinations with tan markings (usually on the cheeks and above the eyes). Dogs bred for show are generally more colour than white, whereas sporting dogs tend to have more white in their coats for ease of the hunter to see them in long grass.

CHARACTERISTICS
The Springer is an affectionate and easy-going family dog, and its alertness and attentiveness make it the ideal hunting companion. An intelligent dog, and eager to please, a Springer is easily incorporated into a family setting. Although good with children, it tends to have a moderate to high energy level. Its long-legged build makes it among the fastest of the spaniels. It has unlimited stamina and needs plenty of activity to focus its mind and to provide substantial exercise.
