ENGLISH SPRINGER |
 |
APPEARANCE
The
English Springer Spaniel is a medium-sized sporting dog, with a compact
body and a docked tail. His coat is moderately long, with feathering on
his legs, ears, chest and brisket. His pendulous ears, soft gentle
expression, sturdy build and friendly wagging tail proclaim him
unmistakably a member of the ancient family of Spaniels. He is above all
a well-proportioned dog, free from exaggeration, nicely balanced in
every part. His carriage is proud and upstanding, body deep, legs strong
and muscular, with enough length to carry him with ease. Taken as a
whole, the English Springer Spaniel suggests power, endurance and
agility. He looks the part of a dog that can go, and keep going, under
difficult hunting conditions. At his best, he is endowed with style,
symmetry, balance and enthusiasm, and is every inch a sporting dog of
distinct spaniel character, combining beauty and utility.
