Springer Spaniel – The Shape

Modelled into a springer spaniel. Springer Spaniel refers to two different breeds of dogs, the English Springer Spaniel and the Welsh Springer Spaniel both of which are commonly called simply Springer Spaniel.
The English Springer Spaniel is a breed of gun dog in the Spaniel family traditionally used for flushing and retrieving game. It is an affectionate, excitable breed with a typical lifespan of twelve to fourteen years. They are descended from the Norfolk or Shropshire Spaniels of the mid-19th century; the breed has diverged into separate show and working lines. The Welsh Springer Spaniel is thought to be comparable to the old Land Spaniel. They were relatively unknown until a succession of victories in dog trials by the breed increased its popularity. Following recognition by The Kennel Club, the breed gained the modern name of Welsh Springer Spaniel. The breed’s coat only comes in a single colour combination of white with red markings, usually in a piebald pattern. Loyal and affectionate, they can become very attached to family members and are wary of strangers.
