English Springer Spaniel Information
  |
In the 1800's, English Springer Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels were often born in the same litter. The only way the two were separated was by size.
In 1880, the American Spaniel Club was founded and they had the great task of sorting out the breed by their size. Anything over 28 pounds was classified as a Springer Spaniel. In 1902 the Kennel Club of England recognized the English Springer Spaniel as a breed of its own.
Through several individuals in America the English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association was formed, and as a result, the breed became more well known. This association aimed to further the English Springer Spaniel for show and field work.
Male English Springer Spaniel should stand about 20 inches tall and weigh around 40 pounds, females generally smaller. Their coloring can be black with liver or white markings or predominantly white with black and liver markings, blue or liver roan, or tri color.
English Springer Spaniels are very friend and eager to please. They adore their family and make wonderful home companions.
Health concerns for the English Springer Spaniel include Hip Dysplasia, obesity, Progressive Retinal Atropy, and epilepsy.
The English Springer breed has been experiencing a serious personality problem in some individuals called "Rage Syndrome." This is a rare disorder that also occurs in other popular breeds. An otherwise normal dog goes into a sudden rage, viciously attacking people. During the attacks the dog does not respond to commands. This condition is a form of epilepsy and can be treated. It is generally not evident until the dog is one to two years old. Check with breeders about history of "Rage" in the lines. If your dog is experiencing aggression problems, do not be too quick to label it as "Rage". Many Springers go through a "teenage" stage, where they may test their owners. They need an owner to knows how to display gentle, but firm leadership. This "teenage" behavior is too often misdiagnosed as being "Rage", when in fact, it is normal "Top Dog" behavior. It is best to have your dog tested before assuming they have "Rage".
