dog grooming cuts – Dog Grooming : How Do I Groom a Springer Spaniel?

To groom a springer spaniel, choose either a field cut, which is an allover short cut that prevents burrs and fox tails from getting in their fur, or a show cut, which leaves the legs and skirt fur a bit longer for an attractive look.

Springer Spaniels – Excellent Breed, Lifelong Buddies
February 7, 2009 by Alison Daynhixa · Comments Off
Springer Spaniels are extremely smart and learn very quickly. Being highly enthusiastic, eager to please, loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented makes the Springer an ideal companion for both city and country life. Many owner find humor in their energetic and playful animals that bring a smile to their faces. With proper training the can excel in agility, tracking, retrieving, obedience, hunting, and field trials. They are the perfect choice for families because they are so wonderful with children. Of course as with any dog breed, children should always be supervised to make sure they are not antagonizing the dog.
Owners will be satisfied with a Springer because they are so friendly and eager to please. Their temperament has been compared to the popular Golden Retriever. They are happy to just be with their family even if that means just lying around the house. They are very flexible and acclimate easily to various activity levels, as long as they are allowed to be with people as much as possible. Springer Spaniels are incredibly affectionate! We know this from experience. As breeders, we have raised a lot of puppies and can absolutely testify to this fact.
Normally weighing between 35-55 pounds at adulthood this is the English Springer Spaniel breed which is medium in size. Springers can remain in good health most of their lives which can span 10 to 14 years. Field bred Springers have short hair and are generally more active than the show bred types. Field bred Springers have docked tails, but their tails are docked longer than the show Springers so their tails are still functional as an alert signal while hunting.
English Springer Spaniels generally have two different variations of colored fur which are either black and white or liver and white. A tri-color combination exists, characterized by a liver, white, and black coat, but this combination occurs infrequently and only results when the sire and dam are both tri-color as well. They are also known for having a white blaze on their faces usually down the middle.
English Springer Spaniels were bred to be natural hunters with a lot of energy, so you can expect your Springer to enjoy running around, sniffing out “game,”and retrieving things for you. Springers are happy to spend all day outside with their masters, they love water and are not particularly sensitive to weather in general. Being a very old breed they have been popular dogs for a long, long time. They are one of the oldest and best established hunting and gun dog breed.
So I hope you can see why we think Springers are a wonderful fit for many different situations, lifestyles, and families. These loving animals can find a place in anyone’s heart and home which is something we have experienced.
