| History It is thought that the English Springer Spaniel originated in Spain, as the name Spaniel suggests. Spaniels date back as early as 300AD, being sporting dogs used for flushing game for hawks and falcons. In the 1500’s the word ‘Springer’ appeared referring to Spaniels that flushed or sprang game. The Sporting Spaniels were however, largely developed in the British Isles. One of the most versatile of the Gundog breeds, the English Springer Spaniel remains a firm favourite in fieldwork worldwide. It has also become a favoured family companion breed, an excellent obedience, agility and endurance dog, and the breed continues to win top level prizes in conformation shows throughout the world. |

| Positives The English Springer Spaniel is a happy, intelligent, family oriented dog that is willing to please and enjoys physical exercise. It is therefore ideally suited to active outdoor families with children. It is an excellent companion and guard dog, loves children, doesn't wander, loves walks, swims and participating in all family activities. |
|||||
| Negatives Casual walks may not be enough for the English Springer Spaniel. It also likes to swim and retrieve, so this may not be suitable for some households' lifestyles. English Springer Spaniels are not dogs to be left alone in the backyard as they do require exercise and being involved in the family. |
