English Springer Spaniel
Closely related to the Welsh Springer Spaniel and traditionally used as a medium sized gun dog to help hunt game, the modern English Springer Spaniel has actually been bred into two separate gene pools. Modern show bred English Springer Spaniels and field bred dogs are still registered together, but have had separate bloodlines since the 1950's.
