Origin and history of the English springer spaniel
As its name "spaniel" indicates, this line of dogs comes from Spain, although its origins date back to the 16th century in England, where its ancestors were dogs used to search for and track small birds and other animals, working in collaboration with hunters. .
Springer Spaniels were those that specialized in "springing" on birds to make them fly from their hiding places, thus facilitating hunting. This ability earned them their distinctive name.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, hunting was a popular activity among nobility and royalty in Europe and Springer Spaniels became highly valued dogs for this task.
In 1902, the English Springer Spaniel was officially recognized as a breed by the Kennel Club in the United Kingdom. A breed standard was established that defined its appearance and characteristics. Over time, distinctions were made between the "show" and "working" varieties of the breed.
As hunting became less necessary for survival and more of a recreational activity, the English Springer Spaniel earned a place in homes as a companion dog and pet. Their friendly nature and cheerful disposition made them popular companions in homes around the world.
Today, the English Springer Spaniel continues to be valued for its intelligence, energy and ability to work. Although its primary role has changed from hunter to companion, its heritage as a hunting dog and loyal nature remain distinctive traits of the breed.
