Species distribution of Springer spaniel

The name "Springer Spaniel" (also translated as Springer Spaniel) is included in a classification, They are the ancestors of many present-day land hounds. Springer spaniels and cockers were often born in the early 19th century In the same kennel, size is the only factor that can distinguish them. In 1902, the English Kennel Club recognized the English Springer Spaniel as an independent breed.

There is no doubt that the standard has made the Springer Spaniel more uniform as a breed, and as a result its individuals have become more consistent in both show and field hunting tests. They are recognized as excellent sporting dogs and therefore are not allowed to lose their standard characteristics, that is, they must not become heavy-boned and stocky to maintain agile movements in hunting. One of their uses is to arouse and retrieve prey.

The developmental origin of Springer

During the Renaissance, it was considered an ideal companion for European hunters. It became popular in the United States in the 17th century. This is an ancient and pure breed, the oldest of the hunting dogs; due to its original purpose, it is commonly used

Springer Spaniel

in fowling, falconry or dog hunting . Often used during hunting to find, fly or retrieve prey. [1] In 1880, the American Spaniel Club was established, and its job was to classify dogs by size, and any dog over 12.70 kg was classified as a Springer Spaniel. Although some Springer spaniels have long been used for hunting in the United States, they were not better known until 1924, when the British Springer Spaniel Wild Hunt Testing Association was formed. Three years (1927) after the start of field hunting testing, the English Springer Spaniel Field Hunting Testing Association became the British Springer Spaniel Club. This association further developed the English Springer Spaniel's stand display and field hunting tests. Formed in 1927 and first revised in 1932, the American Kennel Club's English Springer Spaniel Standard has been developed as closely as possible to its natural bred ability, i.e. it is a hunting dog that, when trained, can do Ask it to do the work. The association also holds an annual field test that demonstrates to the public the breed's good performance as a shooting hound. With the development of other hounds, the hounds must be able to search the ground quickly and, after being well trained, can carry out the signals or commands given to them.

BritishSpringer has an enthusiastic and steady temperament, loves sports, and is good at sports, making it a thorough sporting dog. They are warm and loyal to their owners. Whether it is in daily life or when the owner trains it, it is quite obedient and will not have any negative emotions.

As athletes, their love for sports is self-evident, and they like to run in wide spaces. Of course, they are still very obedient at home, not mischievous, and quite obedient to the master's orders.

Their docile character is also one of the reasons why people like them. When they are hunting dogs, they are also quite cooperative during the hunting process, and the hunter can control them very well.

Springer is originally a bird hunting dog that lives in the wild, so it needs a lot of activity, and it is best to take it out for a walk every day 2 ~3 times, don't keep it at home for a long time, it will make it irritable, even sluggish and even sick.

Springer is smart and physically strong. Divided into display type and work, no matter which is very naughty.

Be prepared to raise Springer, you must have a large space at home, you must always take it outdoors, and you must be patient and trained dogs.

Springer is easy to train, and he has to be trained well, otherwise the family will be a mess.

In fact, there is still a lot of hair loss in summer.

For Springer's feeding problem is also very critical. It should be exposed to the sun from a young age and often eat some calcium powder or calcium tablets, which can help it very well. Healthy bone development prevents some acquired bone diseases, but the amount should not be too much, too much calcium will only be counterproductive. A healthy diet can make it stronger and healthier.

In the process of walking the dog at ordinary times, there will always be some dog lovers. When they see the cute appearance of dog feed them some of their own food. If it is ham, it may have little effect on it, but eating too much of these foods is not good for the dog itself. But if some dogs can't eat it, and you don't know it, then it's a good thing to do something bad at this time. It was originally out of love for dogs, but it ended up hurting dogs.

So be sure to dog trainingWell, let it reject some food, so that it can play a good protective role when you take it out for a walk, or when you meet some people with bad intentions.

Proportional construction

Flexible and able to work on rough ground at reasonable speed. Its structure shows its endurance. Medium size. The ideal height at the shoulder is 50.8 cm for males; 48.3 cm for females. Being 2.5 cm higher or lower than the ideal standard is a disadvantage. With a height of 50.8 cm at the shoulder, a male dog of moderate proportions and in good condition weighs about 22.85 kg; while a bitch with a height of 48.3 cm at the shoulder weighs about 18.14 kg. Body length (measured from shoulder to hip) is slightly greater than height at withers. Due to its long torso, especially its waist, it is prone to fatigue and lacks the ability to function as this breed compact contour features. For the body, legs that are too short can affect symmetry and limit gait and are undesirable. The bones are good, showing a strong connection, well developed and firm, but not rough and heavy.

Head

The head is impressive, beautiful due to the combination of strength and elegance, but not bulky. What matters is the size of the head and the ratio of the head to the rest of the body. Viewed in profile, the head is approximately as long as the neck and is essentially joined to the torso. The distinctive bony structures drilled into the forehead steps, eyebrows and eye sockets all contribute to the beauty and expression of this dog, which is alert, docile and convincing.

Eye

Eye features are the essence of the dog's attractiveness. Appropriate size, shape, position, and coat color affect its expression and attractiveness. The eye openings are medium in size, oval in shape, well separated from the eye socket and set in the eye socket. The color of the iris is coordinated with the color of the coat, dark brown in liver-colored dogs with white, black or dark brown in black and white dogs, and full of pigment around the eyes to match the color of the coat. Eyelids tight and dimpled, nictitating membrane not prominent. Individuals with small, round, or bulging eyes, and yellow or brass in color, are least welcome.

Ears

Ears are long and wide, drooping close to the cheeks, with no tendency to stand up or stick out. The ear shell is thin, reaching about the tip of the nose. The base of the ears is level with the eyes, not very close to the back of the skull. The skull is long, broad, flat on top and slightly rounded on the sides and back. The posterior skull is not conspicuous. As the skull protrudes from the front face, the frontonasal steps are separated by a groove between the eyes, which disappears when it reaches the middle of the forehead. The forehead is well-developed and has no obvious features. It is a slight convexity formed by the connection between the kiss and the upper head. The groove and the position and shape of the eyebrows have evolved.

The snout is about as long as the skull and about 1.5 times the width of the skull. In lateral view, the cranial top line and snout are approximately parallel to the ground.

Nose

The nasal bone is straight and has no tendency to descend toward the tip of the nose, which would otherwise give the appearance of an annoying sunken face. The nasal bone is neither concave into a "dish face" nor bulged into a Roman nose. Cheeks are square and sharply defined below the eyes. The jaws are long enough, square, sloping and strong enough to hunt easily, the upper lip fully closed, square enough to cover the jawline, but neither wobbling nor exaggerated. The nose is pigmented, liver-colored or black, depending on the color of the coat. The nostrils are wide and dilated. Teeth are hard, straight, medium in size and in a scissors bite. Incisal bite or 1-2 incisors slightly protruding from the tooth line are minor drawbacks. Malbites and twists are serious faults and will be severely penalized.

Topline and torso

Neck moderately long, strong, neat, slightly arched at head high, continuous and smooth with sloping shoulders ground connection. This part of the topline from shoulder to tail is firm and slightly sloping. The trunk is strong and compact, with short ribs and joints. The chest is deep and level with the elbows, the forechest well developed; but not hindering the movement of the front legs. Ribs are long, extending continuously to the middle of the torso, tapering as they reach the end of the rib. The lower line is level with the elbows and there is a slight upward bend in the side of the abdomen. The back is straight, strong and level. The loin is short, strong and slightly arched. The rump is elegantly rounded and joins smoothly with the hind legs. The rump is gently sloping towards the base of the tail, which hangs naturally along the rump. The tail is level or slightly raised, showing its lively personality and happy action in the hunt. A tightly clipped tail, suggesting a timid and unreliable temperament would be a disadvantage, and like a hard dog, the tail forms a suitable angle with the topline.

Efficient movement of the front legs requires coordination of the forequarters. The shoulder blades are flat and tightly joined at the ends, blending smoothly with the outline of the torso. Measured from the top of the shoulder to the tip of the shoulder blade to the elbow, the shoulder blade and upper arm are clearly equal in length, forming an angle of about 90°; this allows the front legs to be well under the torso and the elbows just below the top of the shoulder blades. The elbows are very close to the torso. The front legs are straight and meet the feet at a right angle. Bones are strong, slightly flat, neither too round nor too heavy. Palms short, strong and slightly oblique, not showing weakness. Dewclaws are usually removed. The feet are round or slightly oval. Feet compact, well arched, of medium size, well padded and feathered between the toes.

The English Springer Spaniel should be strong, strong and well-grown at work and at the show. Its entire hindquarters show strength and drive. The thighs are broad and strong, and the knees are strong. In order to achieve efficient hunting, the angle of the hindquarter bone joints and hock joints is never greater or less than the angle of the forequarter bone joints and hock joints. The hocks are slightly rounded, not small or noticeable in appearance. The hind metacarpal segment (about 1/3 of the distance from the hip joint to the foot) is strong and well boned. Posterior view, hind palms parallel. Dewclaws are usually removed. The foot is the same as the forefoot, except that it is smaller and more compact.

Coat

The English Springer Spaniel has an outer coat and an undercoat. On the trunk, the outer coat is of medium length, flat or wavy, easily distinguishable from the undercoat, which is short, soft and dense. The amount of undercoat is affected by climate and season. The outer coat and undercoat of the hybrid dog are resistant to water, weather and harsh conditions. The ears, chest, legs and belly are covered with medium length and thickness of hair. The hair on the head, the front of the forelegs and the front of the hind legs, and under the hocks is short and fine. The coat is neat and shiny. Trimming the coat of the head, ears, neck and feet to remove decayed undercoats and trimming excess hair to make it thin and short in order to improve the attractiveness of its appearance by the standard meet the requirements. The tail can be trimmed or left with wavy hair. First, the appearance should be natural. Excessive hair can disrupt a neat outline, but excessive trimming, especially trimming the coat on the trunk or down the cheeks, can be penalized at the dog show for manual grooming. The texture and condition of the coat are more important than the number of coats.

Coat

The following coat colors are acceptable for heterozygous and marking:

(l) Black or liver with white Blot or white body with black or liver-colored blot;

(2) blue or liver-colored feathers;

(3) three-color: black, white or liver-colored, white Brownish-brown blotches, usually on the eyebrows, cheeks, inside the ears, and under the tail.

Any white part of the coat can be a marked spot. Other colors such as lemon, red or orange will not be accepted.

Gait

Balance is a prerequisite for good movement. The body fore and aft fit must have the same angle and robust development for a smooth and effortless gait. Shoulders that are well angled to allow for stride movement are just as important as rear quarters that provide strong drive. Viewed from the side, the dog shows length, a square stride for searching, and a strong back with no tendency to sink, a topline that slowly rises from side to side at the waist or a rounded topline. Front view, the legs move forward with ease and freedom. The elbows are not restricted by the shoulders and the movement of the legs is not affected. Viewed from behind, the back legs are well supported and in line with the front legs. As the speed increases, the hind legs will have a natural tendency to focus on the centerline of motion. Gait drawbacks include strenuous strides; swaying walks; irritability; and primarily foot-based movement that causes the trunk to roll or wobble.
