English Springer Spaniel Did You Know?
- In 1902 the Kennel Club of England recognized the English Springer Spaniel
as a distinct breed (particularly from English Cockers).
- In the 1800 the American Spaniel Club was founded.
- In 1924 the English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association was formed
and the breed become more well known.
- The name "springing spaniel" included in one classification
the ancestral stock from which many of our present-day land spaniels emanated.
- The AKC standard for the English Springer Spaniel, formed in 1927 and revised in 1932, was
made as nearly as possible to foster the natural ability of the Springer,
while encouraging uniformity within the breed.
- The acceptable colors in the breed are black or liver with white, blue
or liver roan, and tricolor. Lemon, red, and orange are considered unacceptable
and "are not to place" according to the English Springer Spaniel standard in order
to distinguish the colors of the English Springer Spaniel.
