Welsh Springer Spaniel

Good to know

• Flushing spaniel: bred in Wales to find and flush birds, they are tireless workers that need daily exercise and something to do.
• Always red and white: the breed comes only in rich red and white, which sets it apart from its English cousin.
• Loyal, with some reserve: devoted to their family, they can be reserved with strangers, so early socialization helps.
• Weatherproof coat: the silky coat with feathering needs brushing about weekly, more when they've been through brush or water.
• Water lovers: many enjoy swimming and retrieving.

Getting out with a Welsh Springer Spaniel

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
