About the English Springer Spaniel
The English Springer Spaniel is one of the oldest sporting breeds, with its ancestors appearing in English art and literature dating back to the 14th century. The name “springer” comes from the breed’s original function of “springing” — flushing game birds from cover so hunters could net them, and later, shoot them. Before standardized breeds existed, spaniels were divided simply by size, with larger “springing” spaniels eventually becoming the English Springer Spaniel.
