In 1812, the Boughey family of Shropshire bred the first known “pure” English Springer Spaniel.
Today, these dogs excel in both field and show competitions, remaining cherished as family pets.

How can I take good care of my English Springer Spaniel?
Nutrition
Feed high-quality dog food, suitable for medium breeds, to your Springer puppy.
Provide clean water always. Puppies typically require 3 to 4 meals daily, while adults need 2 to 3. Consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.
Grooming
English Springer Spaniel puppies and adults demand consistent grooming. Their coats need regular brushing to reduce shedding, while show dogs require even more care to maintain their appearance.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Twice a year, during spring and fall, shedding increases, requiring more frequent brushing.
The low-hanging ears easily trap dirt and water, leading to infections if not cleaned and dried properly.
Brush their teeth regularly with vet-approved toothpaste to prevent dental issues.
Exercise
English Springer Spaniels brim with energy, constantly seeking play.
They need at least 1 to 2 hours of exercise each day, though some will crave even more.
Introduce outdoor play once your vet clears them for it.
Training
Smart and curious, English Springer Spaniel puppies love learning but can lose focus if not engaged.
Keep training sessions fun and frequent to hold their attention. Start with obedience training to set a strong foundation.
Many owners enroll their dogs in classes, especially those aiming to compete. Opt for positive reinforcement methods, which work best for these eager learners.
