                                                            General information on Springers.

                                                                                      General 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.

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                  Coat
   The Springer has an outer coat and an undercoat. On the body, the outer coat is of medium

length, flat or wavy, and is easily distinguishable from the undercoat,

which is short, soft and dense. The quantity of undercoat is affected by climate

and season. When in combination, outer coat and undercoat serve to make the dog

substantially waterproof, weatherproof and thornproof. On ears, chest, legs and belly the Springer is nicely furnished with a fringe of feathering of moderate length

and heaviness. On the head, front of the forelegs, and below the hock joints on the front

of the hind legs, the hair is short and fine. The coat has the clean,glossy, "live" appearance

 indicative of good health.

     It is legitimate to trim about the head, ears, neck and feet,

 to remove dead undercoat, and to thin and shorten excess feathering as required to

enhance a smart, functional appearance. The tail may be trimmed, or well fringed

 with wavy feathering. Above all, the appearance should be natural. Overtrimming,

 especially the body coat, or any chopped, barbered or artificial effect is to be

 penalized in the show ring, as is excessive feathering that destroys the clean outline

 desirable in a sporting dog. Correct quality and condition of coat is to take precedence over quantity of coat.

 

 



                                                                                                     Color
All the following combinations of colors and markings are equally acceptable:(1) Black or liver with white markings or  predominantly white with black or liver markings;

 (2) Blue or liver roan; (3) Tricolor: black and white or liver and white with

tan markings, usually found on eyebrows, cheeks, inside of ears and under the tail. Any white portion of the coat may be flecked with ticking. Off colors such as lemon, red or orange

 are not to place.

 

 

                                                                                        Temperament
The typical Springer is friendly, eager to please, quick to learn and willing to obey.

Such traits are conducive to tractability, which is essential for appropriate handler control

in the field. In the show ring, he should exhibit poise and attentiveness and permit

himself to be examined by the judge without resentment or cringing.

Aggression toward people and aggression toward other dogs is not in

keeping with sporting dog character and purpose and is not acceptable.
