springer spaniels
English hunting breed
Springer spaniels are medium-sized hunting dogs bred to flush game birds from cover—to "spring" them into flight for hunters.
The two main breeds are English springer spaniels and Welsh springer spaniels, both known for their floppy ears, friendly temperament, and high energy.
They make popular family pets but need considerable exercise: Our springer spaniel goes crazy if she doesn't get a long walk.
